Local yellow pages - bigger add. Am working with a local once a month direct mailed newspaper that is read and distributed more than the local paper. Can also do inserts for this paper. Offering new customers a discount of $10 for allowing me to put a sign in yard "Lawn and Landscape Maintenance provided by Lowcountry Landscapes + phone #. Plus offering current customers a $25 referral credit for everyone they refer. Have actually thought of and looking into a billboard advertisment -depending on cost.

My friend pays 500 a month for a billboard. She is in a town of 40,000 people. I really don't know much more.

I have looked at the daily newspaper but i only have enough money right know to run it during the begining of the season, during the summer i run a ad on tv that costs me a dollar a day which $30 per month aint bad at all. I have start already predesigning flyers and mailers. I was wondering if anybody does a written marketing plan, and how do you write one.
