    Door hangers

    I sounds like you have a good plan. Will it work, to many variables to know, area, demographics, saturation of advertising and many more. The part where it looks like you are ahead of the game is everything you have in your plan is, well thought out and will be done in the appropriate, professional manner.

    Referrals are the #1 way to market yourself. When I sold my last company 18 of 21 regular accounts were from referrals. Whatever contacts you generate from your advertising take care of them and encourage them to help promote you. When the old lady talks about all the junk her sister has, make sure you give her a card for her sister and then buy her a potted plant when you get a fat stack for cleaning up her sisters.

    Judging by the plan you have for the door hangers I'm sure you know all this but I screw it up all the time. Im always passing up opportunities and only realizing it days later. Good luck

    For my landscape, construction and property management company, I use door hangers to get new business. To communicate with owners or occupants. of existing customers. Things like: time we were there, fertilizer was applied to the lawn today, you need to water or not water, pickup your dog ????, (please) etc. They are very good way to get existing customers to communicate with us: These are my phone numbers, The cell phone number for the crew leader that manages your property is etc. A good way to increase sales with existing clients too! A way to let them know of other service, they may not be aware of, that you can provide: Did you know we do cleanups? design and build, manage rental properties etc. Yes door hangers work, as with anything it's how you do it that counts.

    I'm sorry I find the baggie with business cards and small rocks, thrown on someone's property to be tacky and not something I want my name associated with. Just my opinion.
