Whats up Florida?

[mommacutz]

Season has gotten off to a good start! How are you guys doing?

[greenlawngone]

just waiting for the phone to ring.

[mommacutz]

what part of Florida are you in? Up here we are getting slammed can barely keep up.

[greenlawngone]

I'm in st.augustine,just started this year.No full time customers yet,just one time cuts.I have been advertising in the local paper,but i feel things will be picking up very soon.

[mommacutz]

That's how it starts out. One time cuts are a great oppurtunity for long term customers when you do a good job. We have had our last frost I think and people are really starting to evaluate their lawns now. We are up here in Jacksonville.

[greenlawngone]

Speaking of picking up,just got a call for an estimate in one of the new subdivision's.Grass is starting to going to go door to door next to drum up customers.

Slamminnn payup :cool2: :cool2:

[greenlawngone]

The door to door worked well last week,got six new accounts.All of the accounts are in the areas i wanted to target,because of potential growth, i may obtain more accounts,which would be good.

[mommacutz]

Yeaaah! just handed out first round of flyers. Nothing fancy or expensive, been getting a ton of phone calls got 5 new customers and 2 tear out jobs. I just love the Florida sunshine.

We have a commericial starting on cable on Apr 11 and it should be a great season!

[LightningLawns]

Hey greenlawngone what did you say when you went door to door? Seems like it worked well for you .

[greenlawngone]

The door to door worked well,i only spent about 3 hours a day for 2 days knocking on doors.Every other door some one was home,after the 2 days i had 6 new account's.I am still getting call's from the cards i put out.I am going door to door again this week and next,hopefully with the same result's,but i'll wait and see.

I really wish I could see it. I'm happy for you. The only lco commericial we see here is during the Gary Allen show -Ferraro Lawn Service it's a nice commercial too.

Glad to hear the market is good in Jax. This is my first season in the area. Looking to focus between 9A and the beaches. What have you guys found is the best way to advertise in Jax. I'm starting from scratch, so I don't have any opportunity for word of mouth. Let me know if you guys get too busy!!!!!!

We are strictly flyers and word of mouth. The word of mouth is the best and most cost effective though. :)

Mommacutz,

Have you had any luck with advertising in the newspaper? I guess one week is $71 and one month is $171. Just handed out first set of flyers today. Hopefully will get some calls soon.

[greenlawngone]

weekend warrior,going door to door has worked the best for me.I am going to take on 10 more additional customers,and that will be it.That's all i can handle with my fulltime job.

[jason1978]

I'm from Jacksonville myself. Moved to Tallahassee a few months ago, but am planning on coming back to Orange Park, Jacksonville area to get business up and running soon.

[mommacutz]

Were you in school in Tallahassee?

I use to watch him on HGTV. I really like the show. He would always kick the shovel and catch it behind his back.

Busy busy busy, what part of Jax are you in mammacutz? I do mostly westside.

[jason1978]

No I'm out of school. Just got myself into some financial binds, so I had to take a step back. I was in Jax over the weekend and can't believe how profitable the area can be.
