1. Sell What Your Lawn Care Clients Want

In order to win customers fast with your lawn care flyers, make sure you're selling what they want.

So think about this…

  • Why do your clients choose you over your other lawn care business competition? 
  • Do they hire you because of your high-quality lawn care services? Is it your excellent customer service? 
  • Your 100% satisfaction guarantee?

The best way to get answers to find out what your clients want is by simply asking your favorite clients what they love most about you.

Send your favorite clients a brief email or text survey with these two questions:

  1. What do you care most about when choosing a lawn care service provider?
  2. What do you love most about our lawn care services?

Pro Tip! Did you know you can automatically send and track surveys using Service Autopilot's Automations? Use this #1 lawn care software to easily nurture your leads and sell more effectively to them.

2. Clone Your Best Clients With Your Lawn Care Flyers

Now, it's time to clone your best clients with your lawn care flyers.

Typically, your best clients refer you to their friends and family, which usually are similar, great clients. 

In order to get client referrals using your lawn care flyers, you'll need to add a referral offer. 

Your offer can be as simple as a $20 gift card, a free upsell service, or $20 off their next lawn care service for every successful referral.

Always remember, you need to include a referral offer in your lawn care flyers.

3. Use Branding to Stand Apart from Your Competition

The best way to stand apart from your competition is to capitalize on your branding.

By selling your business's unique qualities, you'll have the power to simultaneously justify your lawn care pricing while also establishing your business as the best possible choice.

In a sea of overwhelming amounts of lawn care business choices, it's vital that you find what makes your business stand out and use it in your branding.

4. Pro Tips for Creating the Best Lawn Care Flyers

While it might be tempting to get overly creative with your lawn care flyers, don't let your artistic streak run too wild and free. 

Because the main goal of your lawn care flyers is to get lawn care customers.

Take a look at these pro tips for creating the best lawn care flyers:

  • Visible contact information
  • Easily readable, large, simple font
  • List the main lawn care services and packages you offer
  • Simple, complementary color schemes that are easy on the eyes
  • Avoid overusing stock photos (use before/after pictures of your work)
  • Clean design that doesn't take away from the main Call-to-Action (CTA) and information

You'd be surprised by how many lawn care businesses don't adhere to these basic lawn care flyer principles.

5. Make the Perfect Offer to Your Clients

When you make the perfect offer, you can remove purchase barriers and increase your conversion rates.

Keep in mind, your offer can be really simple like this:

NEW CLIENTS! Sign up before [insert date] and get 20% OFF your first lawn care service!

Once you've made the perfect offer to your clients, you'll need to give them a Call-to-Action (CTA). 

This CTA will tell them the next action you want them to take after reading your lawn care flyer.

6. Provide a Clear Call-to-Action

As we just briefly discussed earlier, your Call-to-Action (CTA) is used to tell your clients the next action you want them to take after reading one of your lawn care flyers.

Are you wanting your potential clients to call for a free estimate? Do you want them to fill out a form on your lawn care website?

Whichever CTA you choose, be sure it's specific, actionable, and timely.

Take a look at some examples of great CTA's you can use in your lawn care flyers:

  • (000) 111-2222 CALL NOW for a free estimate!
  • www.LawnCareBusinessWebsite.com SIGN UP NOW!
  • CALL (000) 111-2222 to sign up for lawn care services!

Also, don't forget to make your CTA stand out as much as possible. It needs to be located in an unmistakable place on your lawn care flyers with LARGE, BOLD, simple font with a noticeable text color (e.g. orange) for everyone to see.

7. Level-Up Your Marketing With VIRTUAL Lawn Care Flyers

At last, when your lawn care flyers are finalized, you're ready to level up your marketing with VIRTUAL lawn care flyers.

Since it takes an average of 6-8 touches to convert a lead into a client, it's important to reach your clients in as many ways as possible. For this reason, it's important you use your lawn care flyers as an additional opportunity to connect with your clients.

Due to the amount of time it takes to convert a lead into a client, social media ads and organic social media posts are essential in growing your lawn care business.
