A Business Card On My Lawn!

21 minutes

The Handyman Pros have a discussion about putting business cards in someone's yard without their explicit permission and why it is generally not advisable; several reasons:

1. Intrusiveness:

Placing business cards in someone's yard without their consent can be seen as intrusive and disrespectful of their property. It may be perceived as an unwelcome intrusion into their personal space, leading to negative feelings

towards your business.

2. Unsolicited Advertising: Many people consider unsolicited advertising materials, such as

business cards left in yards, to be spam-like behavior. This can create a negative impression of your business and may even result in complaints from homeowners or neighborhood associations.

3. Environmental

Concerns: Business cards left in yards can contribute to littering and environmental pollution if they are not disposed of properly. This goes against

principles of environmental responsibility and sustainability.

4. Potential

Legal Issues: Depending on local regulations, distributing advertising materials like business cards without permission may be prohibited or subject to fines. It's important to familiarize yourself with relevant laws and regulations before engaging in such practices.

5. Low Effectiveness: Placing business cards in yards is a passive and untargeted marketing approach. It relies on chance encounters rather than targeted

outreach to potential customers who are more likely to be interested in your products or services. As a result, the return on investment (ROI) for this

marketing tactic is often low.

Instead of placing business cards in yards without

permission, the Pros discuss how businesses should focus on more targeted and permission-based marketing strategies. This could include digital marketing,

social media advertising, direct mail campaigns to targeted mailing lists, or networking within the community through events and local partnerships. These approaches are more likely to yield positive results and build a stronger, more

engaged customer base
