I was not even thinking about doing the free mowing. That seems like it would be a good calling to people.

My ad starts next wednesday and runs in 3 weekly suburban papers for 4 weeks. Its 4"x4" and total circulation is 240,000. I have never promoted this strongly and dont really khow what to excpect. The total cost was only $550 so i took it. Two of the suburbs im hitting are ranked in the top 5 in wealth in this area.

If this doesn't fit, take out Licensed. Remove the "s" in clean-ups and the "&" if you need to.

You are wasting a lot of space by using "Call now spots are filling fast." Short, simple, sweet is the key combonation. If you are doing 5th mow free, make a flyer up describing your promotion. Hand it to the customer with the estimate to pursuade them to choose you. This way you weed out all of the people that want something for nothing. Percise ads are a must, don't make them wordy just get to the point. Name, services, Free estimates Licensed Insured, Phone #. Thats all you need. Make your name and number stick out by being bold and larger than the rest of your ad.
