Tri-fold brochures are another way to get all of your information and business description to your potential customers. Again these are easy to design and using the same company as described previously, affordable.

There are numerous free classifieds on the internet that can help promote your business as well. Watch for the ones that charge anything. Once they have your credit card information, it is next to impossible to stop the debits to your card unless you cancel the card. I've been trying to cancel Search Engine Marketing Experts offering Free and Paid Search Engine Submission, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Pay-Per-Click (PPC) and Website Marketing services ? ineedhits for months with no luck.

Radio advertising.
Another advertising idea you may not have thought of is radio advertising. Running ads on a local radio station can be both effective and relatively inexpensive.

Bench/bus stop advertising.
Looking to reach a mass audience? Then transit advertising may be the best advertising idea for you. Contact your local transit company for information on bench, bus and shelter advertising possibilities.

E-mail Marketing is also the best way of advertising.

It's as easy as ABC. Just promote your site to all your online contacts using e-mail.Write a good email that will attract your audience. If you got the contents right and able to convince your contacts , you are on your way to success.

When you want to increase your business and serve more customers, one of the best ways is through advertising. There are many different ways to advertise for a business: radio and television ads, print ads in magazines and newspapers, large ads in telephone books, flyers in direct mail, and of course, the newest is Internet advertising.

Wow. Lots of great ideas in this thread. In my opinion, the simply best way to do it is by doing it both online and offline and not just focusing on one of the two. After all, they're of better use to compliment each other rather than go against one another.

Just Love Gardening is on a distinguished road
Default tip sheet for getting free customers for my lawn & gardening business

Getting new customers for nothing
I have been working in my lawn business for seven years and have worked very hard building up my client base, spending up to a third of my time chasing new customers. A few years ago I set up my internet site justlovegardening.net and was hoping to get new clients that way. The problem with my internet site was, if I want more customers I needed more internet traffic. After many hours of researching and listening to so called internet experts, the only way I was told to get more traffic, was pay per click like Google. In theory pay per click works, although the cost made it totally uneconomical for my lawn business. Even when pay per click visitors came, I still could not figure a way to convert them to lawn clients without offering silly discounts or giveaways. I just didn’t know who my internet site visitors were, so it was pretty much a waste of time and money.

Now the good news that all businesses want.

I found a free way of getting internet traffic to my site, and the big thing is, it is also a way of collecting my internet visitor’s details, so I can contact then to discuss what they want in the way of lawn care. It’s like set and forget, because when I want more customers I just make more free internet traffic.
How I did it.
I was doing a Google search for “Star Cities International” and found this free SMS promotion I put on my website, I think it is called Richleads, but you find it by the search I did.
If you have the term free as a keyword and you have a free service on your website, search engines pick this up and your site will be featured in the search results on the main part of the Google page. Free is one of the most searched words on the internet, and having free SMS is very popular. Put these key words together with all the words that relate to my lawn business, you get more traffic and more people interested in lawns. The best part is people have to register through my website to get the free SMS service and I get their contact details to follow them up.

Now, simply do what is described in the above, click on the Home & Garden category, or what category best suits you, choose a promotion suitable for your own site, fill out your details and you will receive your promotions for approval and once approved you will receive an email with the code to put anywhere on your internet site.

So far I am happy with the early results, mainly because it hasn’t cost a cent.
