The Secret Garden Dinner: A Wacky Marketing Idea for Landscapers

A wacky but low-cost marketing idea: host a dinner party in a finished landscape project to turn one big client into your next referral engine.

Save this one for your biggest client, someone with a $100K+ landscape design, construction project, or outdoor kitchen.

  1. Tell the client you'd like to host a dinner for them and 10-12 friends.
  2. You cater it and provide a bartender.

Their friends, who tend to have big, beautiful homes of their own, get to see your work firsthand, in the yard you built.

Your next job sells itself.

It's a wacky idea, but very little downside and a lot of upside if you have the right client relationship for it.
