www.gopherforum.com – Why is my lawn care business marketing not working? When you are getting your lawn care business started and you dont have many personal contacts, the situation can be rough. Lets take a look at what our friend and fellow Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum member did to go from getting no return calls to many. Scott wrote So my flyers & business cards have been sent out all over, a lot of my cards need to be restocked in stores because they are almost all gone. Yet I have gotten no calls. I only have a few days left, I can only do so much. Im mass producing flyers again & plan to send them out to the other areas of my starter city. I myself have walked door to door handing out 7000 flyers & Im losing it! I dont wanna be out for weeks with these flyers so Im gonna just start asap without stopping until they are all out! Ill give you guys some amateur shots of my flyer & card, you can tell me what the hell Im doing wrong. Steve You are doing a fantastic job. What you are doing with your flyers and business cards is good, however, you will find more success selling people to people. Selling to those you know or those that know you.

I recommend a sturdy pair of work boots. You dont necessarily need a steel toe. Some people prefer it. Some people dont. I like a work boot with a high profile and a solid sole.

I like to wear hiking socks which wick moisture away from your feet and are comfortable to wear and walk in for long periods of time. Pants: I like to wear shorts when I am giving estimates and doing other non-work activities. They are cool and look professional during the summer.
