Lawn care business tips
Hi Dan,

Good question. Check out the free letter section. I think there is a referral letter you can send out and then include some business cards with the letter. Also make sure you give business cards out to your current customer base and ask them to hand them out to their friends and family. There is nothing wrong with letting your customers know you are looking for referrals.

Also check out my blog here, http://lawnchat.com/?cat=47
I did a search for referrals on it.

What kinds of things have you been thinking of doing?

Well, I would say look in the free flyer section and see which one catches your eye. You can then download it and edit it as needed.

What services are you going to be promoting now?
