Door to Door Advertising for Your Teen Lawn Service

Well, I've discussed several kinds of advertising for your teen lawn business. Flyers work great. "Other stuff" can be absolutely dandy. But one advertising technique I have not discussed in great depth is door-to-door, face-to-face.

First of all, you will need business cards. You can get them cheaply online or have them printed at the local print shop. For some tips on business cards, go here.

Now, the fun part. Customer-service provider interaction! First impressions are extremely important. You should wear something nice, a polo shirt is fine. Shower and wear deodorant, but nothing too strong. Before you set out, prepare what you will say at each door you will go to. Be sure to mention that you are a local teen. Make it short sweet, and to the point. Politeness is key, so mind your P's and Q's. When your potential customer opens the door, give your prepared blurb. Then, while looking them directly in the eye, give a firm handshake, and hand them your business card. If they aren't home, place your business card in the door. Then it's off to the next house. If you do this right, people will call you.

This kind of advertising is all about impressions. People are more likely to trust a well-dressed, sophisticated teen than a hoodlum off the street. Although this kind of advertising is hard for some people, it has great results. This technique will certainly increase your number of clients.
