yep theres like one high school kid charging $25, (hes going to leave for college in a year) and we are charging $24, and another kid, but he stays in his phase of the neighborhood. so we are pretty much going to be the only ones left next year.
You need business cards. They dont need to be fancy, they just need to have the name and contact info. I had like 1000 made for $25 at Kinkos. You can get creative too, think up a good mission statement (ours was "Leaders in the turf war"), then put CEO or something behind your name. Me and 3 people would load all our equipment in my VW bus and bust out about 10 lawns each day. 10 Lawns at $25 each adds up really quick.
yeah we made cards. we didn't get any calls yet, so if we don't by saturday, we are just going to go to peoples' doors and ask them while giving them the card. people in my neighborhood really just throw things out that don't look professionally enveloped. we only have 1 person so far.
