Easy Ideas that You Can do Now

  • Put marketing flyers in neighbor's doors when you are working in an area
  • Advertise an Open House in the neighborhood when the project is completed
  • If times are slow, drive around an area you'd like to target, copy down addresses (or use the internet) & send a mailing to that area
  • Mailing services to target localized areas -
  • Sponsor a free dinner at a local restaurant to collect names
