		<description>If you already have clients, then ask for referrals. 

When you&#039;re working, make sure your vehicle/clothing clearly has your name + contact info.

After you&#039;re done working, go door-to-door and distribute flyers on the same block (your neighbor at 123 Main Street is using us, and we&#039;d love to have you as a client...)

Target new home owners. Welcome them and give them a gift of a free consultation, etc.

Talk to existing lawn people. Perhaps they have too much work or there are jobs they don&#039;t want and would be happy to pass along to you.

Talk to your local garden center. See if there&#039;s a referral board there.

Hold a free class on &quot;How to Make Your Lawn Easier To Care For&quot; (for example). Really give value. The point is that you&#039;ll position yourself as an expert in their eyes.</description>

		<description>Does your area have advertising on the outside of buses? It&#039;s usually fairly low cost and you have a moving billboard traveling all through the city and displayed for people who live outside the city but work there.</description>

		<description>One good source to hook-up with is a realtor or a welcome-to-the-neighborhood business/committee.  Placing your cards at local convenience stores is a plus.</description>
