Introduction: The Challenge Facing Massachusetts Landscaping Companies
Commercial landscaping companies across Massachusetts face a common challenge: how to consistently generate new business beyond word-of-mouth referrals. While established companies have the expertise and equipment to handle large contracts, many struggle with effective marketing strategies to reach commercial decision-makers.
This case study reveals how J Melo Media helped a 35-year Massachusetts landscaping company secure 8 new commercial contracts in just one week using strategic marketing techniques specifically designed for the landscaping industry.
The Client: A 35-Year Massachusetts Landscaping Company

Snow removal for business properties and parking lots
Seasonal landscape cleanup and maintenance
Property maintenance for office buildings and industrial facilities

Despite their extensive experience in commercial landscaping Massachusetts, this established company was struggling to expand their client base. Like many established landscaping companies, they had relied primarily on:
Word-of-mouth referrals from existing clients
Repeat business from long-term customers
Limited visibility in the competitive Massachusetts landscaping market

Key positioning elements included:
Highlighting their comprehensive service offerings

Measurable Success Metrics
Timeline: One week of strategic outreach
