Instead of the just free…do extra things like tend to their garden. Or Trim hedges. These extra durties would allow you to still charge your $20. But don’t over do the extras

you would have to add restrictions like he said in the video, how about you match your competitors coupon price with an additional percentage off etc…

Here is where I over think things.
Let’s say I start my business out real cheap like $20 front & back lawn, and I advertise that I accept competitors coupons then someone presents me with a coupon for $20 off lawn services.
Do I mow the lawn for free to prove that I am good for my word showing that I am honorable & trustworthy, or do I laugh in his face and say wad a ya think I’m stupid and refuse the coupon.

Only if you can retain your current customer base with quality work. I am always seeking new customers, but realize that my existing base is critical, and I try to utilize my existing base to the max. However, people will cancel service for any number of reasons, so I am always seeking new customers…that, my friend is how you grow your business. Retain current base through quality work, and obtain new customers always. Coupon idea is great! I’ve used it in the past, and it works!

No I like this video too. I meant there are some others who think coupons and trying to think outside the box with a lawn business is stupid. This guy knows his stuff and he’s getting more and more popular in the lawn and landscaping industry.

HA! I use that too! It is true. It will work. Sometimes I even double the coupon to aquire a new customer. Just make sure you perform quality work, so your customers stay with you!!

coupons dont mean cheap customers unless you’re uncreative. obviously someone hasn’t been schooled about progressive customer spending or anything else along these lines. it’s 5 to 7 times easier to make more money from existing customers than trying to market and find new ones. but here’s the newsflash – you need to give them a reason to spend more in a creatively profitable manner. coupons work but not to the uncreative business owner.

Coupons = cheap customers. Ain’t my prospective customer.
