Salt buckets to market your lawn care business

This is such a great lawn care marketing idea! These are customized buckets of salt that are given to new snow removal clients or others who are being targeted to become new customers. On each bucket you can have your business name and then possibly have the bucket say call to refill. You could also sell them or give them away to homes in your area to help promote your lawn care business. As you can imagine, if you live in a colder climate, these items would really come in handy and can you imagine how much you would stand out if you dropped off a free bucket of salt for all your neighbors in the area!

How much would such buckets cost? One business owner told me the price is really dependent on the number ordered, but lets say: (15) 5gal $3.25 each or (30) 5 gal $3.00 each and you can imagine, the more you order, the cheaper they are per unit.

When you think about how much time it takes you to go out and walk a certain area to hang out door hangers and how few of them get read, this idea of giving out customized buckets of salt may prove to be more effective. Consider experimenting with this marketing idea for your lawn care business and let us know the results you find.
