Most people who hear of concrete landscape edging are going to the web for answers to their questions. I'd say nearly 30% of our jobs are generated from out site thanks to some Search Engine Optimization. I'm working on a product that will give all curbers excellent visibility on the web for much less than the cost and burden of maintaining a full site. Would you have any interest in this? Another great method for getting the word out about your product and educating your market is doing free jobs in high traffic areas. We put about 30 feet around a flowerbed at our bank along with a small sign. People see that week after week and it really sinks in that they too can have such a nice looking landscape. You can also check with your church, local highschool, dentist, etc for opportunities to do a pro-bono job in exchange for some free publicity. Good Luck!
