Best advertising methods for a new company

[JasonGraham]

Hi all,

as the title says really. I'm looking to start up a small tree service with a friend. The trouble is getting going! I was wondering if I could get some advise on what methods of advertising have worked well for you. I'm currently trying a couple of local papers but no responses yet...

Many thanks

I see it’s been a while since anyone posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone’s had success recently using local Facebook groups to get tree work? I’ve been posting jobs with photos and a short write-up, and the response has been surprisingly decent. Curious if others are finding good leads that way or if there's a better spot to focus on?

When we kicked off our landscaping side gig, we hit the same wall—local ads didn’t bring much. What actually got people calling was parking near busy areas with simple signage on our truck. Later, we tried one of those advertising trucks for sale—those LED mobile ones you see driving around—and that surprisingly brought in a few bigger jobs!
