4 Genius Ways Landscape Companys Can Use Facebook Ads & Get More Customers

Today you are going to see some of my favorite social media strategies in action…

…social media strategies that will help you to increase your clientele and revenue.

According to a recent survey by Green Industry Pros, roughly 51% of contractors expect lawn care sales to grow

It’s my goal for you to be included in that 51%.

Let’s dive right in.

#1: Use Local Ad Targeting To Reach 100% of Your Customer Base

Facebook ads work for landscapers for one reason:

Facebook ads are super easy to find your exact target demographic, no matter the location.

Have you looked at Facebook’s location targeting options lately?

Facebook Targeting Options

You can target by country, state/province, city, ZIP, DMA…

…And address.

You are seeing that correctly.

You can use Facebook to target people within a set amount of miles from a particular address.

For Example:

Your client is located at 555 more revenue lane.

Why not run an ad at those who live near them?

And, promote the fact that you already do a killer job in an area they are already familiar with.

#2: Target Potential Customers Based On Income

Being able to retain clients is a big part of building a sustainable company.

Sometimes, the challenge is not finding those who need your service.

Often, the challenge is finding those who can afford your service.

If you service to a particular income level, to have a fighting chance with Facebook ads you have two options:

Option #1: Target everyone regardless of his or her financial characteristics and see what sticks (How most business owners waste advertising dollars).

Option #2: Target potential customers based on the exact income levels you wish to service.

Luckily, Facebook puts a checkmark in the win column for landscapers by allowing the ability to execute option #2.

Facebook Income Targeting

No need to wonder if your advertising efforts are reaching the right people.

You can be laser targeted right down to income.

#3: Use Facebook Retargeting To Re-engage Lost Website Leads

Something to think about:

Ever visited a website of your favorite brand and later logged onto Facebook?

Chances are after leaving their website, you witnessed an ad from them in your Facebook news feed.

Why do large companies use Facebook retargeting?

Facebook retargeting

Most marketing gurus agree on one thing:

The average consumer must see a brand at least 3-4 times before they are ready to make a purchase.

The same holds true for landscape companies.

The customers that are the quickest to convert are those who have:

1. Used your services before

or

2. Have seen your brand multiple times

Here is a look at our Facebook retargeting list within the last month…

Just remember one thing:

It is 100% possible to get new customers using Facebook.
