Media Edge: Lawn Doctor reminds people of summer with new initiative

Media Sales LeadThe latest campaign from Lawn Doctor (LD) was designed by HeyLet'sGo to make customers think about their lawns in the middle of winter. The company launched Grasslippers, custom-made grass-covered slippers that help people remember what it means to stand outside in the summer.

Key Lead Takeaways: LD will likely return to higher spend as it ramps up for the summer, so get in touch soon to secure dollars.

Target Demographics: Millennials and Gen-X with a strong male skew
