Why did they only want it "a couple times"? I wouldnt waste time with those type customers, some qualifying up front will weed them out. Unless of course that was an excuse they used to blow you off.

Not pointing fingers just trying to get the ol gray matter working.

1st Yellow page add, 2nd advertise in local news magazines (not newspapers)make up some fliers or door hangers. I agree with lawn guy stay away from the ones who only want a couple of cuts.

When I get one or two cut customers I simply tell them its gonna be a lot more for two cuts. Usually they just go a long with it. I usually charge 50%-100% more for them.

To mark christopher. In regards to what papers to advertise in, our finding local town and county papers. They are free to the public so lots pick them up. Here is one for instance http://www.suburbanews.com these types of magazines we get most replies and try some door hangers from http://www.nebs.com also. We tried to email you but siad your not exepting emails so i posted this to you.

I think that just getting your name out there is a big help make sure it is on your truck trailer and mowers. Also target nieghborhoods that you want to work in. And keep away from people that only want it cut every other week. If this can't be avoided charge them extra to do it.
