Local Advertising Techniques

AboveAndBeyond

We're just starting landscaping this season, keeps an apprentice busy while not on a job, however I'm looking for more local accounts. How do you guys get more customers for routine lawn care? I'm sick of advertising in the paper. I'd like to employ some local advertising techniques to snag more customers around town, what do you guys do?

Local papers

Watch for bid requests for the median strip mowing (or whatever they call it)
