Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we serve the landscape industry?
There is a tremendous need for our service by all types of small business. However, it’s been our experience that contractors, small manufacturers, and distributors spend marketing dollars haphazardly and benefit the most.
What expertise do we have in landscaping?
We gained our experience since 2002 when working on a marketing assignment with an irrigation manufacturer. Since then we have worked with contractors, designers, remodelers, maintenance service companies and related residential and business services companies.
What expertise do we have in the green industry?
Our associates have worked with Association of Landscape Contractors of America (now renamed PLANET), The Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards, California Landscape Contractors Association, The Irrigation Association, and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
Do we only work with landscapers?
No, we work a lot with local companies too. We’ve gathered our experience working with locally-owned, small and medium-sized businesses over a 20 year period. Our clients span almost every industry imaginable. Other niches include professional services, franchisees, nonprofit and government.
How are we different from other marketing coaches or consultants?
We don’t do your marketing for you. We follow a proven process with every client to develop their marketing program. We don’t recommend the same thing to everybody.
Who, what and why is Duct Tape Marketing (DTM)?
