What are some ways to advertise for snow plowing driveways?

Question

We already put an ad up on craigslist and in the local newspaper. Any other ideas? We live in Indiana if that helps.

Answer 1

Every grocery store you have in your area should get a notice up on their bulletin board. You can also ask to post a flyer at gas stations in their window. A notice on the bulletin boards by the front door at the hardware stores is a good idea too.

Answer 2

You could post in grocery stores, libraries, town halls, city centers, newpapers, craigslist, online versions of newspapers, oddjob.com, and the list goes on and on. However, I live in Indiana too, and from what I have seen, most people do their own drives and walks and stuff, and the cities take care of all the roads.

Answer 3

I recall a cartoon one could head posting with. It showed a wide white snowfield slope broken by fir tree tops, roofs,
with numerous pairs of ski and snowshoe tracks ending at
narrow canyon being cut by rotary vehicle plow that jets red
stain opposite of where multiple passer-by had merged with the snow removal process. Black humor gets as many stuck on your service as honey.

Answer 4

Draw a cute cartoon of you and your family plowing or something like this, along with your phone numbers. Distribute it in a few neighborhoods. Once you get a fw customers in a neighborhood and they like you, the word will spread.

Answer 5

Make flyers on your computer. Tack them up in the local stores. Put them on the windshields of cars. It's illegal to put them in mailboxes, but you can put them in the doors of houses (and pray you don't get arrested).

Answer 6

Why, you drive it through town with a giant sign taped to the front of it.

Answer 7

You could go around and put signs up on poles.
Or you could make flyers and put them in peoples mail boxes.
