Run Local Contests That Grow Your Landscaping Business

One of the fastest ways to generate excitement and attract new leads is through local contests. People love giveaways and community-driven challenges, and landscapers can use this strategy to increase visibility, gain followers, and collect valuable leads. Our Campaigns service makes it simple by providing fully managed contests that are fun for participants and effective for your business.

Why Contests Work for Landscapers

Contests grab attention on social media and spread quickly through shares and tags. Homeowners are motivated to participate when prizes are useful and relevant, such as free lawn care or a backyard refresh. Unlike generic promotions, landscaping contests appeal directly to the people most likely to hire you. Every entry not only builds engagement but also expands your reach within your service area.

Examples of Contests We Create

• Free Lawn Care for a Month
  A high-demand prize that gets homeowners excited and generates entries from people who want ongoing lawn care services.

• Best Backyard Makeover Contest
  Participants submit photos of their yards for a chance to win a landscaping makeover, giving you both community engagement and a gallery of before-and-after photos to use in future marketing.

• Seasonal Giveaway Packages
  Prizes like spring cleanups, fall aeration, or winter tree trimming services tie directly into the seasonal needs of homeowners.

What We Handle for You

Running a contest takes planning and promotion, which is why our Campaigns service covers every step:

• Contest setup with professional branding and graphics

• Promotion across your social media platforms

• Engagement tracking to measure entries, shares, and comments

• Lead collection forms that grow your email list and marketing database

• Post-contest follow-up strategies to convert participants into paying customers

Benefits Beyond the Contest

The impact of a contest lasts far beyond the prize itself. Each campaign creates social buzz, brings more eyes to your landscaping services, and strengthens your reputation as a trusted business in the community. The leads collected can be added to your email marketing or retargeted with special offers, creating ongoing opportunities long after the contest ends.

With turnkey campaign management from Kiss My Grass Social, your landscaping company can run local contests that not only generate excitement but also deliver measurable growth.
