I need some creative advertising/marketing ideas?

We own a Landscape Construction Company. Doing fences, sprinkler systems, retaining walls etc. We just located to a different town. It's now Winter and things have really slowed down. Not a lot of advertising dollars left for paper ads right now. I need some really creative ideas to generate some Holiday income. Any ideas welcome!

OK I SWEAR I am being serious because some people do this.........





Hire someone to run around people's front lawns and get them annoed, making them need a fence! The person needs to leave footprints, play ball, etc.





Sorry if this didn't help much but some people do it....and sometimes it works!

Reply:Any sort of fundraiser. Any way to bring in the media because they are free publisity. Ask a local television station to put out a word for you guys.
Reply:...buy one get one free as a holiday gift for a friend or family...jus raise ur charge s somewhat...and flyer a neighborhood to see if it works....keep track of the neighborhoods that are good and you can count on them as producerrs later...
Reply:Sell the idea of people giving as a gift the products you sell. This could be the type of gift that the in-laws give, etc. Holiday discounts for other business in the town that could use your products to make their place of business look better for the Holiday season.
Reply:Do you acutally install the sprinkler systems or can a homeowners do this themselves. Thinking of winter, I think of more fires and a need for saftey. Are they something you could sell on craigslist of ebay prehaps ? Wasnt sure the types of sprinkler systems we are talking about but this would get your name out there and also sell some product...Good luck I hope its helpful...Also thinking of craiglist you could potenitally do both install and sell them, then you have your winter and summer seasons covered....If it is something that requires you to install them..I would also advertize it as such...

Reply:Here is what I would do. It may take some work. If you have anything (paper, flyer, buisness card) which has your info (buisness name, what you do) written on it. Then you take them and go to the groceries store parking, Walmart parking lots and put them on cars. Also maybe you can write on their first 100 or whatever number to use you guys get a discount.
