What’s Actually Working for Marketing in 2026? 🚜📈
Trying to figure out what actually works for marketing a small service business in 2026 feels like throwing darts blindfolded sometimes. 😅 Facebook boosts? Marketplace? Reels? Before & after photos? Community groups? Google Business? Word of mouth? Door hangers? I run a veteran-owned rural property management company in New Brunswick, Canada, and I’m curious what’s genuinely bringing people, real customers lately — not just likes and views. For the people actually getting calls and booked jobs: • What’s been your most successful marketing approach? • What gives the best ROI for a small budget? • What completely flopped for you? • Are you finding people respond more to personality/branding or straight-up service ads and pricing? Would love to hear real experiences from other small business owners and operators. 🚜🔥

Hey everybody, my name is Daniel. I’m currently looking to expand and grow my business. I have done paid Marketing on Meta and Google with some success, but I’m also wondering for anyone who’s in the contracting and remodeling space if they ever do door hangers, mailers flyers and yard signs and what kind of return they see on those I’ve had some people tell me they see great return but not in the same industry as me if you do any of these and you do remodeling, I would love to hear your inputWhat advice do you have for starting a new service business?
