Joshua Monen replied to Ethan Wild's discussion Small Business Marketing Methods"I just want to second Ralph's advice. Direct response marketing is a very effective way to get new clients.

Ralph Conrad replied to Ethan Wild's discussion Small Business Marketing Methods"Hi Ethan, and congrats on taking the initiative to strike out on your own. The lawn business can be very lucrative.

Invite a couple of competitors to lunch. They will tell you what worked and what did not work. They will probably even give you some work"
Lee Flint replied to Ethan Wild's discussion Small Business Marketing Methods"These comments are on the money. Your current customers will be your best salespeople. Have you seen those ChemLawn signs in beautiful lawns after a service call? Those are a lot more effective than fliers on doors. As many others have mentioned,…"

Hmm....what about a great referral…"
Lisa Nelson replied to Ethan Wild's discussion Small Business Marketing Methods"Ethan,
I think the lawn care business is a great idea. I see fliers often for advertising, but I never see fliers that offer tips. Just take some of the space on the flyer and add a tip. That would get my attention. Something…"
Brent Jamison replied to Ethan Wild's discussion Small Business Marketing Methods"I'm sure there are other lawn care businesses in your area. Ask yourself, what can you offer to your customers that they don't offer. Give them something that helps you stand out. Like Dan says, "do it at least 10% better than your…"
