Key Takeaways

✦

Prioritize free advertising methods like door hangers, local bulletin boards, and Facebook community groups to build name recognition before the peak season.

✦

Actively engage with community groups on social media platforms, posting business information as often as rules permit to reach potential customers where they already are.

✦

Utilize your personal social media networks (e.g., Facebook friends) to share your business content, as friends and family in your area are likely to share your posts and increase visibility.

✦

Ensure your logo and contact information (especially phone number) are visible on all advertising materials and social media posts, even if immediate inquiries aren't expected.

✦

Invest in a basic online presence, like a one-page website, and diligently work to establish a Google Business listing to appear in local searches when customers are actively looking.

✦

Reserve paid advertising for the actual spring rush when customer demand is high, ensuring a better return on investment as people are actively seeking your services.

✦

Maintain a consistent and proactive approach to marketing year-round, as continuous name recognition efforts lead to long-term client acquisition and business stability.
