Work on getting new clients of course! You’ve already sent out renewal contracts to all of your existing clients with a nice letter thanking them for a great year in business, asking for referrals and psyching them up for new landscaping projects in the spring. Now it’s time to work on your web presence.

  1. If you don’t already have a website, get a domain name and web hosting.
  2. Submit your business listing to directories such as google.com/local and Yahoo! Sponsored Search.
  3. Print up new business cards and flyers with a seasonal gardening tip on the back. Use this link for discounted business cards. 75% Off Premium “Custom” Business Cards at VistaPrint.com!
  4. Start a blog and write a complete gardening guide for your area including information about botanical gardens, parks, nurseries and plants that thrive in your climate.
  5. Drive people to your landscaping website by advertising on search engines. Yahoo! Sponsored Search connects businesses and customers online. Sign up and get a $25 credit.

What’s your favorite way to advertise?

What do you want to be able to put into a flyer? What kind of graphics do you want to use? Would you like prewritten copy where all you have to do is fill in your business information?

Take a minute and give me your feedback on what you think the best landscaping flyer should look like.

Landscape Business Coach is offering a one time free online seminar that will take you through the process of designing and writing a landscaping flyer that will really jump start your spring sales. So if you have 60 minutes to spare on Friday the 23 of Feb I strongly recommend participating. It’s free and will be limited to only 10 people.

Think about how well your flyers did last year. How much is every new job worth to you? I know my minimum fee for a year is $1500. The right flyer is worth $1000′s! These could be the best 60 minutes you’ve ever spent in front of a computer this winter!
