For next year, how should I go about getting more customers?
Should I just go door to door in the neighborhood that I want to mow? Or should I advertise in the paper/phone book/etc?
I've found that all of the people around here that get my name from the paper are price shoppers and go with the cheapest. I'm thinking about just going after the yards I want to do so next year will be more enjoyable. This year I was stuck doing a lot of crappy lawns. To me it's not worth it doing those sucky lawns. I would rather target the lawns I want to do and hope I get them. What does everyone else think? Or have you been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
