So leave the lawn care flyers at the printers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and get your company on the first page of Google. That is the best ROI of all. A game is played between two teams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], each composed of nine players, that take turns playing offense and defense. A pair of turns, one at bat and one in the field, by each team constitutes an inning. A game consists of nine innings. One team customarily the visiting team bats in the top,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or first half, of every inning. The other team customarily the home team bats in the bottom, or second half, of every inning. The goal of the game is to score more points than the other team. The players on the team at bat attempt to score runs by circling or completing a tour of the four bases set at the corners of the square shaped baseball diamond.
Does that seem like a wise business decision to you? I hope not. If it does so you won't be in business for long.
So what is the alternative? The yellow pages? Although the yellow pages are highly targeted, there are two problems with using them. The first is cost. Even though your ROI will be far higher using the yellow book, your initial investment will be high as well. And here is the second problem: nobody reads them anymore.
Are they really inexpensive advertising? How do you gauge the cost of your lawn business marketing campaign? The first measure you need to use is return on investment (ROI). Your 搃nvestment 搃s the money and, just as important,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the time expenditure of your advertising. In this regard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flyers fall short due to 搕argeting.
The most effective advertising places your message in front of people already looking for your service or product. These people are your 搕arget? Lawn care flyers are highly un-targeted as you are placing your message in front of consumers that are not looking for your service. Standard returns on direct mail (of which category a flyer falls under) are between 1-2 %. This means that your marketing is at least 98% ineffective. This relates to lawn care door hangers as well.
That is, drum roll please; a cost of USD105.00 dollars per call. If you close 20% of all your sales call (average) you will get two jobs. Each job will have cost you USD262.50 in advertising alone.
Baseball is a bat and ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety foot square, or diamond. Players on one team the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the other team the fielding team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. Lawn care flyers are usually the first thought many individuals think of when they first think of marketing their lawn care business. Big Mistake. Lawn care flyers seem attractive due to the perceived low cost in relation to other landscape marketing methods. Is this really the case?
Now let us take a look at your ROI. Say you spend USD25.00 to print 500 flyers (lawn care door hangers are more). 500 x .01 return would be five calls (your return). For example we will say it took two hours to design and print the flyer. Now let's say you walked around a neighborhood putting these lawn care flyers on people's doors and it took you eight hours. At this point we have to put a numerical value on your time. If you average USD50.00 in your mowing business, that would be ten hours total time invested or USD500.00 plus the USD25.00 for printing, for a grand total expenditure of USD525.00 for a ROI of five phone calls.
This however is good news for you. If you know the simple tricks and tips for getting listed highly in the search engines, even a brand new company with limited funds can compete against the largest well financed competitors and win.
In their 2008 report on consumer advertising, Neilson Media (the advertising rating company) found that 80% of all customers looking for a local service used internet search engines first. What this means to you is that if you are not 揻indable? on the internet when some types into Google 搇awn care Your City State? you will not even get the chance to bid on 8 out of 10 jobs available.
