We are going to do a big marketing campaign this year. EDMs billboards door hangers and possibly radio. My partner and I are super excited about this year, we really want to grow. Great video Brian. Maybe some illustrations on EDM for those that haven't tried it before or how important Call to Actions are in marketing next time. Maybe I dont know?!?
Facebook community groups , next door app, craigslist. This yr in march will be my first year doing door hangers and flyers. I come from a sales background so well see how it works for me.
Last Spring I was on a mission to find new local clients. I put out business cards with the estimates on them. I put an ad in the local newsletter for $40. I did yard signs, new company Tshirts, door hangers etc. What crushed it for me was my Google page. Some before and after shots of my work, about 10 or so good reviews and I was at the top. I could barely keep up with the workload and got pretty stressed out. This year I'll be weeding out the crappy lawns and narrowing my service area.
@@jdabomb8064 By mid-April I was starting to get calls. Hang in there, soon you will have more work than you can handle. Leave estimates with your client's neighbors. Return those calls as soon as possible and give the estimate the same day. Good luck!
Curious.... getting calls now? I’m doing my business on the side this year and planning on focusing on my google page and Facebook this year with the intent of going full time next year. so wondering how that’s working for you?
@@taylorsatcher5591 I just took my google page down because I'm already at max capacity . Between walk ups and referrals I'm as busy as I want to be. Stick with it you'll get there but it takes a little time. Go the extra mile for your clients. I have 50 lawns within 1 mile from my house. If you live 2 miles away I'm not interested.
Thank you so Much I went against everyone telling me this was a bad idea and went out and spent 7k of my savings and started my own business at 17 7 months in I already earned 10k and growing couldn’t have done it without your advice thank you for giving back !
I have a small engine/atv repair business and I always learn from your videos like this. I appreciate them! I am always trying to learn about my clients and what they need, when they need it, etc. Have a great day God bless!
Thank you Brian!!! Great stuff!!! For us successful lawn care guys, this is when I watch/listen to videos to learn more. I actually downloaded this video earlier today and now just listened to it while I drove around checking up on some of our snow plowing customers. We only got about 2 inches here in the south suburb of Rochester, NY. Thanks again!!!
Brian... In biz 11 years now. First several years, a small ad placed in our local hometown newspaper in the spring and early summer. Next two years, I bought out the client list from 2 small lawn care companies, going out of the business. Been running 60 clients ever since then, with no desire to grow bigger, because of all the headaches employees can bring. Blessings
We are up in the Edmonton area Alberta Canada and have operated for just about one year. We love your vids. We start watching you about June last year and I have to say loved every minute spent watch. I will be doing your Lawntrepreneur Academy training next month or sooner if I can fit it in. They are a few differences in the industry being g a little further north but it is still very exciting. A little about me. I'm a 47 year old who spent the last 27 year as a mechanic and let me tell you I need a change and after a test season I'm ready. Pricing is about the same and equipment is also comparable as long as you take in to consideration the exchange rate. Love the advice and direction thanks so much. Blessings
Great stuff bro, well down here in Dallas I send out my advertisements the last week of February, so they can get there the first week of March. It has worked great for us, by mid march going into April phone ringing off the hook! Keep it up Brain!! Thanks bro!
Thanks for this I been doing this for 15 years still trying to gain some good customers I have had to pass on some over the years for all different reasons
My friend it Tampa only works in a couple of neighborhoods. He has narrowed down over years, now he has 250 customers. He only drives his work truck about 1000 miles a year now... Wow. I drive my truck 12,000 a year. Good job to him
I've always taken advantage of the way the trailer and mowing gear literally shouts at passers-by! I'll get almost more business than I can handle. I'm a one-manner right now, but may bring on contract employees if the season here in North Texas heats up like I think it will! BTW, I don't even have a sign on the rig!
Hi from Bismarck North Dakota! How are you doing Brian! When I first started my lawn business in 2005, working another part-time job, I utilized the advertising in a weekly advertisement paper! I think it cost me $30 a month and there wasn’t too many times when I got skunked, meaning I spent $30 to get nothing! And after probably 2, 3 or 4 years I had all the business I wanted! And then I relied on word-of-mouth because I am rather particular about my work! Since then I took on a full-time job at night and continued my lawn care service. I do about 30 to 35 lawns a week with my 15-year-old daughter! It is a good way to keep in contact with your daughters or sons! 😏 so that’s my story! 👍😎 Sincerely, Sam Hanson☃️❄️
Hey, I’m 17 and been watching you for a wile. I’ve been doing yard work since I was 15 and I’m starting an LLC this summer. I have a 14 man crew and try to do as many jobs as possible. What are your recommendations for starting equipment and tools for a landscaping company.
This is my first year and Ive been using Facebook groups and Craigslist only because I don’t know any routes to take other than that and its been keeping my business going this whole year.
Down here in Columbus...thanks for the tip on putting out flyers around March 15th...starting my own lawn care business this spring so kinda nervous on getting customers so till was helpful....thanks CORYS CLEAN CUTS!
Brian I wrapped my enclosed trailer and in less than a year I’m having to turn people away. I tried the post cards with no success moving billboard was the best for me.
Only 3 minutes in & I LOVE IT. Thanks Brian, big fan from Richmond IN and I’m only 19 and got the legit way going here. Peace and love from mine to yours!
I do FB paid ads, Google listings, thumbtack, have a website up and offer free cut to existing customers for leads, signs on trailer & truck and sometimes yard signs.
Great video Brian, when I was starting out I was going by word of mouth and that spread fast and I had a lot of clients but not to many because I was still in school!
Happy new year Brian. I'm going to Knock the ball out of the park for my UA-cam channel and lawn your company. Thanks for helping me taking my business to the next level
Just got my google verification code the other day. Looking forward to getting that goin this year. Also there isn’t a date on it (so it could be years away) but a new goal I thought of today while taking down Christmas lights was to be on the podcast one day! 🤞🏼Shoot for the stars!
Awesome set, that mic sounds great. Great info as usual. Best wishes in 2020 to you and all of your viewers.I don’t ever stop marketing so there is no starting month.
Try putting out flyers multiple times at least 3 to 4 times in the same neighborhood once a month. You will see a huge improvement on your trun around. Depending on the weather start as soon as it gets warm. Have something on your post code for Spring clean up Lawn Care and Landscaping pictures directly help. Just don't put too many things on your postcard to over complicated make it. Make it simple and easy to read eye appealing. Good Luck.
@@adamkukoc If you put flyers in mail boxes put it in the newspaper Box underneath the mailbox it is completely legal to do that if you stick anything on the flag or inside the mailbox it is illegal the mail man will take your flyers send them back or you could get a fine. Or you can walk door-to-door and shove them in the crease of the door jam by the handle so when they opened the door they will immediately see it or all fall out and catch their attention. But definitely put out flyers in the same area multiple times at least 2 to 3 × 2 catch people's attention most people put fires out in the beginning of the year but never follow backup the majority of the flyers in the beginning of the year all end up in the trash can and never be seen that's why turn around and flyers or postcards are so little but when you follow them up multiple times it makes people realize your flyers over everybody else's even if they don't realize it because somewhere in the back of their mind they remember the color or the picture or something on the card
Great content Brian!👍🏾 Love your level of professionalism, and passion to help others grow! That’s a rarity in this industry! Like your studio set up, but 1 suggestion, is your head is in the way of the tv screen behind u. Slide to your right a bit. Maybe zoom the camera in a little if u want us to read the screen. It’s all good though!🤙🏾
Love the info! Studio looks great ....only thing I would change is maybe a lower angle on the camera and tv screen a little higher so you can see it right above your head! Excellent knowledge as always!!!
One man band is the 3rd reason we grew our business. We are a one man band with family members helping out on large jobs. We do 10K a month as a one man band we tried to grow 2nd crew never worked out for us. We decided to work in 32439 zip code use LMN software and found our number ($120.00 an hour). TIB (Time in Business) 8 years part time and 7 years full time.
I am curious. How do you keep your employees busy during the winter to help Or do they go on unemployment? I would love to see a video on how companies and small owners navigate this.
Brian - would you do a video on how to retain good employees, type of WC for employees, incentives, vacation time, and why we should offer 401K programs, or ROTH IRA and unemployment over the winter for the employees. Education advancement for workers. HR monthly meeting. Everybody talks about many different topics in the lawn care business but never about how create the ideal environment for workers. Thanks
Hey buddy I will try to cover things that I can relate to, sure. Naturally being a smaller outfit we don’t really offer or relate to some of what you listed. Love to share some ideas though sure, stay tuned.
👍👍so when you adding that 2ncd set up mr brian ? I mean you've came so far over the last few years it's been awesome to see ! I am sure 2020 will be a great year for yall too ! Happy new year to you and mrs liz !!
Nope just one rig and setup for me. I like being an owner operator. And if we got employees and got out of the work part of the business, I’d still just keep one lawn crew. We’d maybe evaluate doing the landscape work and or having an extra hand with that. Maybe another truck tops haha
SendJim is definitely a great resource. I’m excited to use them this spring as well and yeah hang tight we’ll have a webinar here soon with them, should be a fun experience, possibly some savings involved too. I’ve heard a lot of great feedback with them in the service industry world
You should start with the online presence because it takes you a grand total of a day to get all jump started. So when you spend the money on the advertising your prospects have somewhere to look and research you. If I got a flyer that I’m intrigued about the first thing that I’m going to do is Google them and check out their business online. If that’s not there they’re not a legit business in this day and age.
Also, my business listing has been under review since October... Contact Google and I get the same answer, "someone is working on it" hopefully they figure it out
Crazy question, I’m a hoa President, do you think there is any value to a company like yours to run an email blast ad campaign to my homeowners? I’m in Indiana so not your market but I’m wondering if I could pick up some revenue for our Hoa from local service companies. There are a couple local companies that do great work who I’d love to get more people to use but didn’t know if they’d find it weird or even of any value/ something they’d pay for. Sorry for the random question. Just a snapshot our Hoa is 174 homes valued $400k-$1m.
Never hurts to ask. I'd love to get am email from an HOA president especially if it's something that can be beneficial to both parties!!! I say go for it!!!
Hey having a preferred vendor can save your sub a lot of headaches. Just vet them and make sure they don’t get lazy or too big for their britches haha!
Local area is the number 2 reason we grew our business. We only work in one zip code 32439. We do not work outside this zip code. We own this zip code by preforming award winning service.
I don’t think either are linked to our google listing, we don’t have a FB page for our lawn business, just our UA-cam following really. Same thing with Instagram. Hope that helps.
Please make a video showing the program or paper work that u use so your guys know which houses to go to I'm tired of writing the address on paper and they do the wrong house lol
RJs Lawn care Thats great. And I agree. Tell that to the national guys that do millions in spring Aerations. I’m leaving money on the table by not offering, especially considering clients ask for it all day long here. And I’ve notice it does help improve the bounce back of the lawn in spring with fertilizer and nutrients reaching the soil. For what it’s worth.
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏻♂️ bruhhh, i think lawnstars ruined the intro for me....i can't unsee the _dancing._ 🤣🤣🙃 but on a serious note, perhaps consider splicing some of that "big screen" content into the video so it's legible to viewers.
Wait a minute, so we give everything away literally for free, and then we provide a resource for $20, and you cry bloody murder. Could you sound a little less grateful? Go get a lawyer to make you a contract, it’ll cost you $125 easy for an hour of their time. Please don’t be so entitled and believe that you deserve free things and clearly show very little appreciation for the hard work we’re putting into helping you make your life easier.

Yard signs. Yard signs. Yard signs! I put out two signs and and went from 12 to 25 customers in a couple months.

All the basics bud. Good mowers trailers and hand held equipment. We’ve reviewed a ton of it, check out the videos on the channel. Wish you the best.
This is my first year and Ive been using Facebook groups and Craigslist only because I don’t know any routes to take other than that and its been keeping my business going this whole year.

Facebook groups are great! Most HOA's have their own groups now and it's definitely a great way to get route density!
I use everything you talk about in this video for my business and I am up to 100 customers now!!!

It takes time to build that google ranking. Physical marketing material would be a better source for starters!
You should start with the online presence because it takes you a grand total of a day to get all jump started.

If I got a flyer that I’m intrigued about the first thing that I’m going to do is Google them and check out their business online. If that’s not there they’re not a legit business in this day and age.

Never hurts to ask. I'd love to get am email from an HOA president especially if it's something that can be beneficial to both parties!!! I say go for it!!!
Hey having a preferred vendor can save your sub a lot of headaches. Just vet them and make sure they don’t get lazy or too big for their britches haha!
Local area is the number 2 reason we grew our business. We only work in one zip code 32439. We do not work outside this zip code. We own this zip code by preforming award winning service.
Totally out subject Peep the Mexican cola ! Good stuff lol 👍🏻
Haha
🔥🔥
How did you get your Facebook and Instagram to be linked on your google listing?
I don’t think either are linked to our google listing, we don’t have a FB page for our lawn business, just our UA-cam following really. Same thing with Instagram. Hope that helps.
Brian's Lawn Maintenance when you google your business on the PC both Facebook and Instagram are linked under profile.
Great content!
Please make a video showing the program or paper work that u use so your guys know which houses to go to
I'm tired of writing the address on paper and they do the wrong house lol
You can print off your route with most CRM’s. We use Yardbook and can reprint the route in 10 seconds
When do you aerate lawn
For us usually early spring and then again late fall
You should not aerate in spring you will increase chance of weeds germinating
RJs Lawn care Thats great. And I agree. Tell that to the national guys that do millions in spring Aerations. I’m leaving money on the table by not offering, especially considering clients ask for it all day long here. And I’ve notice it does help improve the bounce back of the lawn in spring with fertilizer and nutrients reaching the soil. For what it’s worth.
You should focus on lawn health and not money
Nutrients and fertilizers enter the soil regardless if you open the lawn or not
That into 😍
Love the Mexican Coke
Classic 👍
Ha! Ha! You said penetration 🤣 good tips!

Thank You for the great content! You are very generous on your nuggets of info! #junkironlifedad #junkironlife
We give it all away for free, I remember starting out, it was brutal. I love paying it forward now, ha!
Google adds isn't free
Google is best .. My wife own a janitorial business.. No Facebook add...
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏻♂️ bruhhh, i think lawnstars ruined the intro for me....i can't unsee the _dancing._ 🤣🤣🙃
but on a serious note, perhaps consider splicing some of that "big screen" content into the video so it's legible to viewers.
Haha they’re the best. Well be trying to get better on the cameras yep, agreed!
We have wasted a lot of time and money with online ads. Very tough marketing tool. I wouldn’t recommend this to guys
What type of ads, what’s your story with how it went, love to know how and what worked/didn’t work. Thanks for sharing!
Free tools are better for once no need to try to take money from ur subscribers
Wait a minute, so we give everything away literally for free, and then we provide a resource for $20, and you cry bloody murder.
Could you sound a little less grateful?
Go get a lawyer to make you a contract, it’ll cost you $125 easy for an hour of their time.
Please don’t be so entitled and believe that you deserve free things and clearly show very little appreciation for the hard work we’re putting into helping you make your life easier.
Great video !
