www.gopherforum.com – We all like to know what lawn care marketing works and what doesnt. By reading such stories on the topic, we hope to cut out those lawn care marketing ideas that are ineffective. What amazes me about all the stories we see on the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum, is how one theme seems to ring true time and time again. Lets take a look at some marketing ideas a lawn care business owner shared with us. He wrote As far as what has worked or hasnt in gaining new lawn care customers 1. Leaving flyers on cars at Home Depot – hasnt worked. 2. Leaving flyers at businesss on Sunday, when they are closed – no. 3. Direct contact with businesss when they are open – not so much. 4. Newspaper ads in the local paper alongside the other bazillion lawncare companys out there doing the same thing – nope ( and Im $40.00 poorer ). 5. E-mailing local Real Estate Agents with my company info – a waste of time. 6. Providing excellent service and going the extra mile for existing customers and getting referrals from them – JACKPOT !

Thank you everyone for watching us! Lawn Care Business Question: “I need help selling my accounts.” Greenmind wrote us “I am selling my accounts this week to a local landscaper. He wants to pay me in 3 payments. Over a 3 month period or 90 days as people stay with the new company. Also he does not want to pay the initial payment until all customers are contacted. Is he buying my business or my customers? Also is the 90 day period normal or am I being to generous, I have talked with several people and they seem to think that he is taking some risk by buying my accounts and thats part of the business and some suggest that I charge more for letting him pay over 90 days. What do you guys think? Any help with someone with experience in this area would be very helpful. I don’t want to get taking on this transaction. I worked very hard to get and keep these customers.” A bunch of the Gopher Lawn Care Forum members responded in this post www.gophergraphics.com Lawn Care Business Podcast Discussion: I had a great podcast interview with Author Ken Lavoie.
