justgardens is an unknown quantity at this point
Return phone calls and show up to appointments on time. A very novel idea for many contractors! This is the number one thing you can do to better your business. Other ideas:
1. Offer to do a "free" landscape in your local mall.
2. Do your own placemat
3. Offer to local radio stations an appearance by the "landscape expert"
4. Offer local newspapers to do a"Jump into Spring" landscape or lawn care article
5. Offer all exisiting clients a free dinner or mowing , ect. for any referral they give that you actually get
6. Take out advertsing, such as a full page ad with sevral other contractors or subs you use to cut costs and refer each other.
