what is your experience with these? I'm using a lead service now and have done some advertising. Myself I feel I get more work from the lead service, am I wasting money on adds? how have you made your business grow? where have you had adds? How many lead services are there? Are they pay as you go or pay up front ? Just ideas I'm thinking about and would like other opinions and ideas. Thanks

Work on your relationships with ACO's and dispatchers. I have connections with all the ACO's in my area. They know me as the guy who will respond and get the job done.

The dispatchers get a visit late in the morning hours (1am-5am) after a referral call with me stopping in the see them after the job is done with a bat or squirrel ( in very secure caging)

The dispatchers get a kick out of seeing the critter you caught. They know you got the job done professionally. They enjoy seeing the animal you caught as they are a bit bored. They won't forget you.

Costs nothing but a bit of your time , but worth thousands in advertising.

We used lead services when we started. We started moving away from them after we realized that we had no control over the quality of the leads.

Best way to advertise? No idea! We keep trying new things!

I have advertised on radio, thru car show pamphlets, news papers, ext. Not sure any of it really worked great. I have been on the AM radio talking about different problems and had many calls afterwards. TV is expensive, the bug guys use it allot here. Have not tried a billboard yet? might get some attention. I see a lot of the bug company's use obnoxious vehicle wraps? I prefer to stay low profile somewhat. might think of wrapping my cargo trailer. just need to figure out how to get our names out .The dispatchers and ACO's are a good idea, I should get with them soon thanks
