Last year I past out 475 flyers and I got 7 jobs all in the same subdivision and 3 bush trimming jobs so far the flyers work for me this is my second year also
Imperial Services thats actually a good return 👌👍
chiripas Romero I think it was luck meaning the right time that doesn't happen all the time this year I have more to pass out but I'm going to do it on line and have four delivered to each house one every week this way I'm not outside walking and gives me more time for other things
Would you suggest putting them at bigger or smaller lawns
That’s awesome! I passed out around 250 last year. Got 2 fall cleanups out of it. One asked me “hey I know you’re scheduled to be here tomorrow but do you do gutter clean outs? I said as a matter of fact I do as part of a fall cleanup “package”. I charged 60 extra and it was easy because it was single story house. Funny story while I was passing out cards I got to the end of the subdivision and had to go all the way 10 minutes home to make more business cards and print them out to finish passing them out to the last 5 houses…….guess who I got the 2 jobs from!😂 glad i went and made more or I would have missed the two houses that hired me.
Great video I was “that guy” last year walking up and down sub devision sliding my business card onto flags on mailboxes watching every other one fall off in the breeze. The struggle is real😂 great tips Brian this helps a ton! A lot of tips that honestly will really help me and others. I haven’t tried driving to mailboxes And didn’t know if I could put them in the little secondary newspaper box. I earned two clients in a subdivision. Had one old lady scream “ffffff uuuuuu” as I walked away with her screen door open last summer and I was laughing so hard when I got home to tell the story. Had another cross the road and say “you already put one on mine thanks” being very sarcastic because she didn’t like it. But I landed two clients from that hand out and it was a huge success! Met a super friendly gentleman who was hosting a party out back and I said hi I’m “Daniel can I give you my lawn care business cards we also help with fall cleanups! “ he said sure! I could use help with fall cleanups. Ended up being a package deal for fall cleanup and gutter cleaning on a single story home. Was awesome. Then his nieghbor came out and I earned her business too as she liked my quality of work.
Good job bro.. Stay success thirsty. I myself have commited myself to passing out 400 b.cards door to door. Anything is better than sitting around all lazy.. Go getters go them the customers
I've always gotten 3 to 4 customers per 100 flyers with cheezy 1/2 page flyers from a local print shop. I use bright green paper that's kinda thick like card stock. The print place punches a hole in the corner so I can use a rubber band to attach to doorknobs, screen door handles, gates, fences, etc. I never knock, just leave the flyer. Also I have a rule, never open anything to place the flyer. If there's a gate I'll just attach it to the gate right there and the same for screen doors. Cheers
@Miklo Morales It's worked out great. I've put out thousands though. Gotta fire up those chevrolegs
@K I don't put them on cars. I feel like people might get sketched out when you are walking up to every vehicle. When people see you putting something on every house they know it's some kind of marketing material.
Why don't you knock on doors?
Brian. Love the videos. Lots of great advice. Goin into my 2nd year of mowing. Just went full time end of this years mowing. Ended up with 50 yards in first season Thanks for the great advice
Awesome buddy
How’s it going now?
@@phenny1 3 crews, Over 200 yards.
@@brandonworth353 that’s crazy bro, good work. I’m starting mine in the spring I got business cards and a website made. I just gotta hit the pavement once it’s closer to mowing season
I flyer for a guy here in California who owns a blinds a shutters business, sick ass job and sick ass boss man. He pays me cash and way over minimum wage plus bonus per call. I usually slide the flyers through the door crease and push it in.
im just starting bc people wanted me to help with gardening and i realized there was a market for that, so i just made some online and printed them from my printer.
My experience is also in the morning other Companies are there and willing to take them. With mine I actually write out the quote amount and usually out of 50-60 flyers I get 3-4 residual customers. Just a thought and awesome video thanks.
Nice, when you say companies, do you mean as in potential customers or other companies as in competition?
@@jeffreyzie same question cuz that’d be fucked up if it was competitors
I been doing post cards ink on both sides, walk them to door can slide them in seal real easy and quick or if there bench or package I just lay it there.
I have been worn several times by postmasters that either putting them on the mailbox or in the flag is technically a violation. Not sure how they do it where you’re at, but where I am in Cincinnati VA have a problem with putting them on the mailbox flag.
Thanks for the information. Just starting up and hoping to line customers for fall cleanup and maybe mowing next year. Love your videos keep up the great work.
Ride through a neighborhood and you can physically see which lawns need help. Thats a reason to knock on the door. If you ever get that homeowner on the front porch, it should be an easy sell if you know how to talk. Especially if you charging 25-35 bucks.
Hey there Brian, can you make a video about when is a good time to acquire license and insurance?
yes and how much it cost and process plz Brian
Insurance cost will vary based on a lot of factors. In my state licenses aren't required.
Great video. I like your postcards!!
What are your tips for staying cool and not passing out in the summer heat? I'm drinking alot of water, eating healthy, and trying to take it easy but still get over heated out there while mowing ALOT
We did a video on heat stress actually
If you need to ask that go get an office job
These 3 things help me survive. A wet towel around the neck, wearing a hat with a neck shade included, keeping a cooler in my truck so I always have ice cold beverages 😋
It's illegal to put anything in or in mail boxes and even the post... depends on the mail man if you get in trouble about it..
L.T.D. Lawn Service... in or in?
Which made life hell for my company..imagine cutting 100 back yards a day and having to run up 8 (sometimes 12 if there was a landing) steps...in 112 feel like temp. Who can guess where Im from? (No its not Hell....but close)
its not illegal if you put a stamp on it
Thank you for the info going into my second year this June
You were so CHILL back then.
I’m even more chill now 🤷♂️🤘
Leave stack of cards in local post offices on peg board. Get plenty of calls.
Hey Brian do you have a video on how to advertise thru social media? I’m looking forward to get more customer on my second year coming up 2019
thanks I got this job that pays highly and I need some tips and this was perfect thanks
Another thing you can do...Sit down on a sunday and go to your county tax records website. Target the neighborhoods you want. The tax site gives you the name of the home owner and their actual mailing address of where their tax bill is sent. Direct mail them a letter to them.
I bought 20 acres last year and as soon as we closed I got a direct letter from a contractor congratulating us on our purchase. He had some pics of custom homes he had built. It was extremely personable and he won me. Cost a little more but it's a direct conversation with you and the homeowner and it personable.
Awesome, thanks!
price per new customer shouldn't just be cost per flyer, should also include the time to put them out to accurately measure whether or not your being effective
Great point!
Check out Keith Kalfas, he just did this on one of his videos he put out flyers and timed the time he took from door to door and calculated this along with the flyers cost.
Thank you my friend for the tips. You got my sub =)
Thx for watching! Anytime!
When you blow off your sidewalks after edging, do you blow towards the lawn or to the street?
The lawn always
Sir thank you for making this video. I greatly appreciate it. Sir if I may I ask when is the earliest time of the year to put out flyers? Im in south Texas so we're pretty warm year round. Rarely do we freeze.
Usually early Feb or March for us!
Not illegal in the UK to put in mailboxes etc
Is it ok to leave them on the mailbox or door with tape on it? Or is illegal?
It’s a gray area. Just don’t leave them inside.
I just opened a landscaping company with my brothers we graduated HS and we want to help our dad he’s a pro at landscaping but we want to help him. And we don’t know how to handle business cards or what to say. We just got our license for landscaping and bought material but that’s all. We have given a few cards but no calls yet :/
What are your thoughts on putting flyers on cars in parking lots?
Nahh I don’t at least
U can fuck up peoples winshield. Not recommended.
People get pissed if they have a nice car. You have a possibility to break the windshield wiper. Most people will just throw it on the ground and litter it anyways.
How to deal with really picky clients
Over charge!
When you hand out flyers do you talk to customers or do you just leave the flyer at their door.
I just leave in the door or on the mailbox somewhere.
where you get your flyers done at?
brian do have the news paper delivered to your house ask the person who delivers the paper if would pass flyers out give a few dollars thats what i do or i go to stores and ask if can put in the windows
They can get fired
Lot of people keep telling me not to knock on doors. Lot of people get pissed off.
I worked steady night turn for almost ten years and yes when someone came to the door and woke me up I would get pissed 😡
Brain, in Michigan isn’t illegal to place flyers on or in mailboxes?
Here's a tip for flyers. Contact the local track team and let them deliver flyers while they're working out. Pay them, and or have a big pizza party for them at the local rec center.
What a good size for flyer
8.5x11 for paper flyers, 5x7/6x9 for a postcard works great.
What website do u use to make your flyers
I wonder if I can tape it to the mailbox w o opening it
Would I get in trouble?
caroll Garcia I wouldn't want to get tape all over people's mailbox.
Best advise is ask your local post office or use their service to target neighbourhoods!
Brians hows your business going so far and how long have you been running it for
A decade, and never better..
Curious question? Where do you get your fliers?
Local print shop
Are you walking the neighbourhoods or just drive slow on the opposite side of the road with hazards on when passing out fliers
Number two
Do you disregaurd, No Soliciting signs at subdivision entrances? All subs have them now
Off the record.. Well I can't say. But take a guess lol
I do got a bitch call from hoa lady but got a few hits so with it
htownnnn
I’m not soliciting just leaving some info
I got something out of this and I'm not in the lawn care biz
Just handed out my first 100 that i printed myself ,are you allowed to put them on the mailbox?
Yes and no ha
@@BriansLawnMaintenance lol. Love watching your channel and i Hope to be as successful as you in the future! Keep grinding friend!
You're not allowed to...
But you can. If that makes sense lol.
It's against the rules but so many people do it anyway. Just don't put them IN the mailbox.
Or if you want to be 100%legit then you can pay to have them mailed to people, probably directly through the postal service or you can pay a private service to mail em
I think I will literally knock on doors and if no one answers ill leave my door hanger. I think I'll talk to the post office about mailing things for me as well
Advertising was just a waste of money
Cole Staples any advice?

How did you make the flyers?
They're companies online you can go to to get full color postcards for cheaper than you would Flyers. Try using Vistaprint. You can get t-shirts magnets business cards postcards excetera and many other things.
We aren't allowed to touch a box!. Lucky
What’s a “mulch” job?
A job where you lay mulch?
how can i do this in my area to get paid for companies in Atlanta? ?
pocahontas jenkins Im in metro Atlanta and I’m doing this with my business.
take out the ticks and q's on the flyers would look cleaner
Brian, do you door to door knocking, or do you hang on doors
Hey Brian! What size are your flyers? If you said it in the video i didn't catch it 😂
4x6
Thx!
I thought it was illegal to put something in someone else’s mail box?
yeah.. its illegal to put stuff in peoples mail boxes >.>
Do something about it 😂
Why do your wear glasses when it looks cloudy?
Half baked broooo
@@BriansLawnMaintenance thats cool. I don't smoke 😎.........much either.
Also, nice design. I'm starting post cards or door hangers this season. What do you think are best?
You know you got to be careful on passing out flyers some of it is illegal and some home associations won't allow it I have a one town that we have houses and apartments and it's illegal to pass out flyers at all unless they all hang pacifically on the door you can't put them on the ground and put a question not in the mailbox because that's totally you wake up but they cannot be on the ground could not put anything on the telephone poles or anyting any signs have to be on you property cannot be anywhere except your property so you just got to be careful and check the local laws in your area
Yup
Who is this young looking guy?
😏😎
Does not work in boone iowa handed out 2000 houses and not one phone call
Could possibly be nothing eye catching or motivating for new customers. Try and offer sales/promotions even if it’s something you normally do for free. It all depends on what you do but flyers will work anywhere
Yeh seriously bro its a federal crime to even touch someone's mailbox, stay away from it man pay to send through mail putting flyers on mailbox I really bad.
Nicholas Manzi Maybe it is, but that doesn't stop millions of people from doing it. It's just a way of life. Folks flyer mailboxes every single day. To each their own. But thx for commenting.
It is illegal to put them *inside* of a mailbox. Placing them between the flag is 100% legal.
You pass out fliers from inside the truck?? that's genius...
The How To Go To I assume you're calling me a genius than. I shall accept that.
I use blue painters tape if i hit on hard times and cant afford door hangers, stick em right to the door. people would get mad if i used plain brown tape... here is a tip cause we are bros n i got something really important from your last vid. Shrink your phone number so people don't call you, blow up your website with a ''Request a Quote online'' so even tho you might not book that client you will always have that info... chances r they went with a low baller and got burned... call em a year later. its weird but a lot of people are shy or busy and don't want to talk to you. people will go down the path of least resistance. Your web site is printed so small on here, i cant even see it...
