You wouldn't show up to your lawn care client's house without the materials you need and you wouldn't show up to transform a backyard with an amazing landscape design project without having a plan.

But unfortunately that's what happens a lot in the lawn care and landscaping industry. Companies engage with photographers and don't really have a great plan of action in place.

Today, we're going to share our top secret plan to get great photography for your lawn care or landscaping company. Stay tuned.

If someone would ask you the question, "What's the best work that you've done?", what are the landscaping projects or lawns you care for that come to mind? These are the locations that you would want to include in your portfolio or an image gallery on your website. However, when choosing properties, it's important to:

• pick the right locations to attract your ideal customer
• shoot them in the best lighting to make your images not appear average
• and hire a photographer that understands how you'll use these in your landscaping marketing

Today, we're going to show you how to do just that. Stay tuned.

When a homeowner, property manager, or business owner hires your lawn care or landscaping business, they may be hiring a company, but ultimately what they are doing is hiring your people.

So when it comes to representing your company well, including those team members in your images is extremely powerful.

These images can not only promote your business to find the ideal customers, but also great team members. But how do you get really great images? Which team members are best and how do you direct them? That's what we're covering today.

Stay tuned.

When you think about your lawn care or landscaping company's brand, the last thing you would ever want to be seen as is average. But unfortunately that describes the majority of companies in our industry.

One of the ways that they reinforce this average perception is by using stock photography or amateur photos. So today, I am going to introduce you to one of my friends, Mike Miville, who does a lot of photo shoots for our clients at Landscape Leadership.

We're going to talk about some of the most powerful images that you would use on your website and how you can make them not just look average, but WAY above average.

Stay tuned.

(Thinking to myself)...Hmmmm....we really need more of this lawn care or landscaping work on the books...

(Lightbulb moment!)....I know! I'll send out an email blast.

Have you gotten bad results with email marketing for your lawn care landscaping company?

Maybe you've been thinking that you want to use email marketing to generate more lawn care landscaping leads, but you're not quite sure if it actually works.

Well, today, I'm going to share seven reasons these campaigns commonly fail. Stay tuned.

You and your team may think that your lawn care or landscaping company is the best around, but your prospective customer may be a little bit skeptical and may not take your word for it.

The great things that your happy customers say about your company carry way more weight than what you could ever say.

So when it comes to getting great five-star Google reviews, are you really leveraging them on your landscaping and lawn care website or other marketing collateral? Today I'm going to show you how to do just that.

I've gotta say...I really love working with lawn care companies.

Maybe it's due to the fact that for eight years, I treated thousands of lawns.

Maybe it was due to the fact that this type of work seemed to be the easiest service for me to sell at my 7-year stint as a salesperson at a full-service lawn and landscape company. 

Or possibly it was the thrill I felt figuring out new ways to market lawn care services to add thousands of new lawn care customers each year. 

Whatever the case, it's a rush. But, I get as equally frustrated when I see lawn care companies trying to do their best but failing or getting lackluster results.
