That is true. A lot of people are afraid of what ‘this might cost me’, and therefore don’t pick up the phone. And once they realize that their lawn care is affordable…then yes I can see other services come of it.

Good points.

I can see another benefit in using this system for prospects who have never hired a lawn contractor previously. I’ve seen it many times with folks who are considering but hesitant in calling for a quote out of fear that the price may be out of their reach. This system seems to solve that problem and possibly reel in some extra work that other types of advertising could miss.

Leaving a price is an excellent idea.

What I do is leave a price for a specific job…such as mulching or pressure washing their deck. Leave a price for not an everyday job such as lawn mowing. If you can have an eye beyond their lawn, you may intrigue interest and thus a phone call.

I’ve often asked myself this same question over the years. Whenever I’m actively seeking new clients I always like to drop off some flyers in the streets I’m working in, I do this with the aim of not only gaining new clients but to compact my round and reduce windshield time simultaneously.

Even though I’ve thought about it, I’ve always shied away from actually putting a price on the flyer because I thought it may be a put-off for potential clients. But I have to say that you have opened my eyes to a new way of thinking, and I can see how it really would be useful for our busy potential clients these days.

You’ve won me over, I’m going to give it a try, the other benefit is not actually having to drive back to the house to give a quote if a prospect is interested.
