Lawn care business tips
As we have seen on here many times, nothing beats social marketing.

You can start today by telling everyone you know, that you are now in business. Talk to your family, friends, neighbors, everyone. Soon you should see your customer list growing.

I have designed some door hangers to start going around to all the subdivisions. Just to get my name out there i know it is late in the season but thought it would be a good time to just get my name out, while i get alittle more equipment up. Also have been telling customers of my remodeling business i am opening a lawn care service to.

The more you talk to your customers, the more work you are going to find. The fact that you can offer all these great services is really going to put you in a great position to grow.

What equipment are you looking to get next?
