Previously, I have posted about
putting out fliers to get customers for your teen lawn care. This is a great idea, and can work really well. Well, as I was searching around
Associated Content for ideas to post about, I stumbled on an idea: other stuff!
Right now you are probably thinking, "What the heck does he mean by ‘other stuff?’" Well, I’ll tell you. "Other stuff" consists of frisbees, buttons, ink pens, refrigerator magnets, key chains, and other, well, stuff. In addition to or in lieu of putting out fliers, you could place some of the above mentioned items at peoples’ doors.
I think this is a good idea because people are more likely to check out and even keep a frisbee that they found on their doorstep than some boring flier. In fact, they might even talk to their neighbors about it. This could definitely stimulate some customers to choose you to mow their lawn.
Having a
website for your business would be very helpful for this form of advertising. If you have a website, then you can simply print the name of your teen lawn service as well as the website on your items, and then hand them out. Just having a telephone number and/or email address can also work, and you can simply place those where a URL would normally be.
Cafepress has a great selection of customizable items. Click the previous link, and follow the instructions. Although I haven't tried it out myself specifically, it appears pretty
hassle-free. Being the lazy cheapskate I am, I would probably use Microsoft Paint to make graphics for my items, with the help of
CoolText and maybe some clipart. However, if you have a better graphics editor, definitely make use of it. It really isn't too hard to make your "stuff."
Fliers are great, and usually get the job done. But if you want to try something different, go for it. Using frisbees and key chains might be the edge you need to get the attention of some of those needed customers. Do it: Advertise your teen lawn lawn service in a new way.
