Hey everyone. I'm looking for good ways of advertising, and the best I've found so far besides word of mouth is by dropping off fliers at doorsteps. Seeing how none of you guys are in my area, and I can't take away any of yalls business, would some of you all mind posting pictures of yalls fliers? Thanks.

Here's one of our flyers we passed out. We're just starting out, so we are new to this. Hopefully it will helk you out, and help us if people can give some advice.
Good luck!

Hey Guys Downloading this flyer,
can you do me a favor and let me know what you think?

I tried to make it eye catching!

Thanks

looks good, im gonna do a 1/3 of a page add, and just cut the page into 3 pieces to save money.

 

[WeatherMan]

twins your ad looks good but it needs a little color

 

[twins_lawn_care]

Thanks for the advice.
We agree, and as soon as we get some green, we'll be able to put some green in our flyers, if you know what I mean.
Have to do what you can with what you have right now.
Keep the advice coming, and anyone else out there post your flyers

Well, if that's what you want to do, go to this website,
http://www.sparrowandjacobs.com/downloads.html
download this template,
"Laser doorhanger template-Microsoft word format"
fill in the appropriate info,
and print it on card stock. Cut with a papercutter, and punch a hole with a paper punch. Hang on doors with rubber bands.
Paperpunch and rubber bands are avail at any office supply store very cheap, papercutter costs a little more(I had one in stock).
Works for me.

That site also has postcard templates.

Why not the "Free Lawn Cut" with seasonal contract.

Why give something away like that for just a one time job

Here is a site that has door hanger paper.

Here is our flier. We had it designed from someone on www.elance.com. Very good site. We are currently having our biz cards, logo, and website redone as well...

 

[twins_lawn_care]

I like that flyer JML, especially the "your cost" circle. it shows a personal touch to the flyer, and helps you from having to head back out for an estimate, do it all while you're there handing out the flyer! Great idea, let us know how they work!

 

[GLAN]

Yeah very nice.

 

[JML]

I didn't use them much this year, we are pushing hard into the commercial market. But last year we got a tremendous response rate.. We have a landscaping design brochure that we deliver to new construction homes, and we got more of a response for design and install work with this flier than our brochure. A lot of the competition around here has fliers that are horrible so this really stood out. Compared to previous years and past fliers we got a great response it has worked out well.....

 

[pokemon]

Thats is a very professional looking flier. It presents a positive image

 

[lawncareguy702]

Why do people put "thatching" as a service, like in the above ad. I may be off, but isn't it benefical to provide a dethatching service??

 

[justmjc]

JLM,
Is that a 4x6 post card or a standard 8x11 flyer that you send out? What method did you use to get the tremedous call volume? Hand deliver these or drop them in a mail newspaper box?

 

[JML]

I stapled or put a piece of tape with a rubberband to the top corner and hung it from the door handle/knob of the houses..
