Default Hello

I joined the forum awhile ago but never posted. I'm a one man show from Western Wisconsin, and have been in business for about 3 years now. Hello everyone!

Actually I am. In my area we have 2 heavy hitters, so everywhere you look you see their trucks. My goal for this year is to saturate the area with my logo. I will have my truck professionally lettered, a website, getting more traffic to the Facebook page, sending out flyers, logo on mowers, and utilizing yard signs.

That is great!

Is it important when going up against two larger competitors to look as big as them or to be what they are not or maybe even a mixture of both?
