Earn Bigger, Greener Bucks. Advertise Your Landscaping Business
June 9th, 2010
Although advertising your new, landscaping business may look pricey to you, in reality, it really isn’t so. There are several easy and inexpensive ways to advertise a new landscaping business without having to spend an arm and a leg. If you are passionate about making your landscaping business succeed, these simple ad strategies can put you on course to do just that.
Define your targets - as they are the soul of your business. Do you know who and where they are; what are their specific needs; are the targets homes or businesses? Clear answers to these important questions will help you to come up with convincing advertisements. One way to identify your targets is to conduct a small survey, or evaluate the feedback you receive from your existing customers.
Stay ahead of competitors - by keeping track on the services they offer; the fees they charge; the special offers they make; the benefits they offer; the clients they serve; equipment they possess and any chinks in their armor, etc. In this manner, you’ll be able to fine tune, amend or change your existing strategies; come up with better or more competitive prices; and design more appealing advertisements and other publicity materials, etc. A good idea to get some information on competitors is to study their current company and product brochures; flyers; direct mail ads; etc., which will help you, gain a better picture about them, and what they offer or claim.
Create convincing ads - that stick to the point; have a clear story to tell; contain high-lighted benefits; some colored pictures of recent landscape projects done; and complete contact information. However, do not discount the importance of direct mail ads, flyers and business cards as these can be used effectively for your potential target groups wherever they are located. Moreover, by distributing these items, you’ll be adding significant new feedback from your core targets to the data already gathered from your current clients. What’s important, however, is to have sufficient quantities of each item, so that you can cover a larger area and more potential customers when circulating them.
Make contact with you easier - by ensuring that your cell phone number is displayed prominently in all the ad materials you print for your landscaping business. In this way, your clients and potential targets will be able to make easy contact wherever you are and add to their convenience.
