What is Howl? What is the story behind the business?

Howl Services was founded and launched by current sophomore at Samford University, Ash Perry on Lookout Mountain outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee in March of 2020. Howl is a job search and request platform that finds local available students and connects them with locals needing specific services completed. Ash saw a need for a platform where students could connect with zero commitment, have a job, and be paid well. Despite the global outbreak of COVID-19 two weeks after launch, Howl continues to grow and remains serving the Lookout Mountain community with plans of expansion. Even though “odd job” businesses are not a new concept, Ash plans to grow with exceptional customer service.

What payment methods are available? What about tips?

While the app is still in development, we will accept cash, check or Venmo. All checks should be made out to Howl Services, and all payments can be made through Venmo to @Ash-Perry-1. Please note that if you pay via check or cash, our team will deliver it to us and we will pay our team directly. If you so choose to tip, you can pay cash directly to the team member or include it in the check or Venmo and we will get it to them. Once the app is finished, all payments will be through the app and we will only accept payment via card.

Do clients normally tip? Is it expected?

Our team is taught to never expect a tip, but it is highly encouraged for great work. Tips can be paid directly to the team member via cash or included in a check that will be given to them directly. If you pay via Venmo, we will also make sure it is given directly to the appropriate team member.

How did Howl receive its name?

When Ash founded Howl, he wanted the name to connect back to the original branch on Lookout Mountain in some way. Lookout Mountain is divided into three states; Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. The Georgia side of the mountain is called “Fairyland” and the surrounding streets are named after fairy tales. The icon or logo for this part of the mountain is a wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf made Ash think of his future clients “howling” for help and he thought that was a fun and catchy way to relate it back to Lookout.

How can I get in contact with Howl?

You can contact Howl with comments, questions, and concerns at admin@howlservices.com.
