Default Hello

Hello every one, I currently work a full time job and plan on maintaining that until I can grow a lawn care business to overtake it. I am itching to get some clients. Look forward to learning lots from the site.

Jeff

Default marketing strategies

In terms of my strategy, I have been going door to door handing out flyers, I currently work in retail and deal with sales reps for several companies, so I have been passing on business cards to them. My wife also works as an R.M.T. so I have a flyer up at her business as well as my cards on their reception desk. She also has clients that have taken my flyers and cards to hand out for me as well. Word of mouth is huge were I am so I am confident once I get some customers, the business should continue to roll in. I also have a website which is being created as well right now.

Jeff

That all sounds great. It's very important to work your social network, especially when you first are getting started.

Keep us posted on how everything goes.
