Back page & Craigslist
Thank you

I do mostly installations and the new neighborhoods are flooded with competition, I do flyers in the new neighborhoods and mailers but we figured there is little return for the money. The larger companies here have there own nurseries and sod farms so it near impossable to try and compete with them. but I try. My prices are the same as they were 10 yrs ago and I'm still being under bid, I don't want all the work in the neighborhood. plus the larger guys are offering deals through the builders for coupons for the landscape if they buy a new home. I think its Village Homes thats offering front & back yards and Basement finishing if you buy there homes. great deal for the buyer but for the construction guys the rely on the new construction for there calls its hurting bad

If you network on Merchant Circle I have found that if they are busy they will send the over flow to you and visa versa.

Have you contacted the high end custom home builders and pool companies in your area? That seems like a better fit for your company that low bidding in the cookie cutter suburbs.

Don't forget the pool builders, somebody has to put the yard back together after they dig a big hole in it.

Well right now we have about 10" of snow on the ground so trimming trees will have to wait, But I do have a client base for winter tree trimming. I was an arborist for a few years and did nothing but trees, after the 1st I am going to start my marketing for yard maintenance. Up until now I have always had winter work but this year we had a dry spell. I will be advertising full yard maintenance seperate from Landscape installation so the customer knows we do both professionally and not just small jobs the mow guy can do. We have snow now and I do a large amount of snow removal so the money is starting to come in slowly which will get me back to level soon. You all have given me great idea's and I have been using some of them to get new business. I have 2 jobs ready as soon as the snow melts or the temps get above freezing they are ready and have estimates out. so its looking up
please keep the ideas coming
