How Landscaping Businesses Can Maximize Growth with Flyer Marketing

In today's competitive landscaping industry, getting noticed by homeowners is crucial. Yet, digital marketing alone often leaves landscaping businesses lost in the shuffle, buried beneath online ads, social media posts, and emails that go unnoticed. Enter flyer marketing—a powerful, traditional method that's not just alive and well, but thriving. Landscaping businesses that use flyer marketing strategically not only stand out—they flourish.

At Flyer Canada, we've seen landscaping companies achieve remarkable growth through flyer campaigns, reaching conversion rates as high as 4.4% compared to the industry's average of just 1.41%. Our flyer marketing approach consistently reduces customer acquisition costs by up to 51.8% and delivers an impressive 3–29x ROI. In this guide, we'll share exactly how landscaping businesses can harness the power of flyer marketing to drive sales, grow their customer base, and strengthen their local presence.

Why Flyer Marketing Works for Landscaping Businesses

Local Reach and Targeting Precision

Landscaping businesses thrive on local visibility. Unlike broader marketing efforts that scatter resources widely, flyers precisely target the areas where your customers live. This localized approach ensures your message directly reaches potential clients looking for landscaping services, eliminating wasted ad spend and increasing conversions significantly.

Tangible, Lasting Impressions

Unlike digital ads that disappear with a scroll, flyers offer a tangible, lasting reminder of your landscaping business. Homeowners hold onto flyers—especially those with appealing designs and attractive offers—for weeks. Our studies reveal flyers remain in the home for an average of 17 days, providing ongoing brand visibility and increasing the likelihood of future engagement.

Affordable and Scalable Growth

Flyer marketing is extremely cost-effective. Even smaller landscaping businesses can scale their reach quickly without a massive budget. By keeping costs low, businesses can afford frequent campaigns, maintaining consistent visibility and continuously attracting new customers.

Essential Steps for a Winning Landscaping Flyer Campaign

1. Choose the Right Flyer Size and Format

Our extensive experience at Flyer Canada has shown the highest-performing flyer is consistently the 8.5" x 5.5" size printed on durable 14pt cardstock with AQ gloss finish. This format stands out, looks professional, and is highly affordable to produce in large quantities.

2. Use Visually Appealing Designs

Visual appeal drives action. Include high-quality, professional images of completed landscaping projects. Showcase before-and-after transformations to immediately convey the value of your services. Limit text, keeping the flyer clean and clear, with ample white space to guide readers’ attention effectively.

3. Craft a Clear, Attractive Offer

Homeowners respond strongly to special offers. Flyers featuring discounts, free consultations, seasonal promotions, or bundled packages increase conversions dramatically. According to our internal studies, flyers offering a discount are 50% more likely to be kept and acted upon. Always include a clear, visible expiry date to create urgency.

4. Highlight a Strong Call-to-Action (CTA)

Your flyer must clearly direct potential customers on how to take action. Whether it's calling your office, visiting your website, or emailing for more information, your CTA should stand out prominently. Remove any guesswork—clear directions increase conversions significantly.

5. Leverage Precise Targeting

Flyer marketing success depends heavily on precision targeting. Use geographic and demographic data to identify neighborhoods with high potential for landscaping needs. Flyer Canada’s targeted distribution ensures your flyers land exactly where your ideal clients live, maximizing your ROI.
