Cost effective ways to generate more business

I’m a 27 year old female business owner in the landscaping field. I primarily focus on landscape design and installation but have been offering maintenance and grass cutting services as of late. After a promising summer in business last year I decided to invest about 10k into equipment, a truck/ trailer and am now eager to earn that money back. Does anyone out there have any advice on how to generate more business in a cost effective way? I have social media accounts which I post to semi-regularly, a website and advertise in a local paper from time to time. I’m thinking SEO might help but all of the quotes I’ve gotten were for a few grand which I just don’t have the budget for right now after all of the purchases I’ve made this year. Any advice on how to generate more business or other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Ideas for a Slogan?

I decided to open an online store called Rattlesnake Syrup. The vibe is kind of urban punk but also kind of chic, The market is for sure young people, probably from ages 14 to 25? and I’m going to sell items such as clothes, mainly tops and dresses, maybe jewelry, and other things that I can put my art onto, such as posters, tote bags, phone cases, things of the sort. I usually center around pop-culture, and my art style is very illustrative, pretty colorful, but I can easily alternate between making them colored and strictly black and white. I don’t know what to do as a slogan though, any ideas? Edit: forgot to mention I may also make a tarot deck, and maybe a couple of spiritual related things. I don’t know if that serves any help

Quickly offered a licensing contract from a large company after starting my business, I want to go over Napier work with a professional, but no lawyers have returned my calls and the licensee has been waiting some time. What should I do?

The contract is to have the rights to print my designs on apparel. This is a pretty well known company and I’m excited about it. I see other companies in my field have already licensed to them and the verbiage of the contract seems very straight forward and non predatory. They and their manufacturers have the ability to print the designs but have no ownership of anything including anything that could be interpreted as IP. Contract expires after one year. I have called no less than four small business lawyers in my area and had no one even return my call. Let alone schedule anything and discuss prices and such. I’m worried of losing the interest of the licensee because I could use the exposure through their marketing. What should I do?
