have you advertised in food stores?

I was just wondering if any of you have tried to advertise in food stores on their bulletin board. I checked them out today and I only saw one landscaping flyer but none of the numbers were ripped off of it? If any of you tried this did you get a good response?
I hope I get a better responce then the other guy but who knows if his flyer could have only been there for an hour. I kinda feel like this is cheesy advertising but i need to rack up some accoutns.

Here is the flyer that i'm putting up tomorrow.

 

You really want someone calling you "any time"?

 

sure why not, I'll let someone call me a 1am if they have a decent lawn.

 

When I first started my lawn co. I tried that and the local free flyer want ads. I think you will have a poor response rate,and the ones that do call are just looking for who is the cheapest. Or they just want a one time service for when there mower has been in the shop for the past month and the grass is a foot tall.

 

your 100% correct Specialty !!!

 

SAME DEAL HERE IT DIDNT WORK OUT. I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TEARING A COUPLE OF THE NUMBERS OFF MYSELF TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE PEOPLE WERE INTERESTED.

 

haha i'm doing the same thing, i am planning on ripping off some of the numebers too.

 

I do have cards placed at local food stores and never have had very many calls.

I put out 200 flyers in the past 2 days and already have 4 appointments. One called at 6:30 this evening.

I made the flyer and put it into a 4x9 white envelope,and stapled
it shut with one of my business cards.

I delivered 100 to neighborhoods less than 10 years old.

I delivered 100 to a neighborhood that is about 30-40 yrs old.

The long envelope was placed behind the mailbox flag,by my daughter who made 10 cents each.

 

wow is that legal? behind the mailbox flag? that is a great idea.
The houses in my area are kinda far apart though so it was a pain to do.

 

I don't cut grass, I only do Landscaping and Trees

So one job is worth the effort .

I bought the envelops from the dollar store, 70 for $1.00

I paid 8 cents a copy for the flyers

10 cents delivery for each flyer
