Lawn care business tips
Thanks Steve
I looked there a while back and didnt remember seeing anything but theres some good ideas in here i can put towards my own.

And thanks racer you guys have been a big help and i appreciate it since im kinda in a rush

i live in nw indiana and i wanna get my flyers out within the next week so we can start fast..i dont wanna wait too far into spring and have all the people in my area looking for a company to be signed to somebody else.

I was reading another post the other day about sending new flyers over and over to get your name stuck in there mind and i was thinking about doing that however im a bit short on cash right now to do that.

I probably wouldn't send people more than one flyer at their door. Mainly because of cost, but what I would recommend is putting some flyers or business cards at local oil change places. While people are getting their oil changed, they walk into the little office to wait, and while they are sitting there bored, they will pick up your flyer just for something to read. I used this method for getting snow removal accounts. Worked pretty good
