Corey Halstead, co-founder of Halstead Media, announced the launch of Planting Acorns, a new educational and training platform specifically tailored to support landscape and outdoor living contractors on the road to $3 million. Drawing on the learnings and strategies of Halstead Media, Planting Acorns provides specialized training, courses and ongoing coaching designed to empower companies to implement and manage marketing strategies that drive consistent leads, secure better projects and accounts, and achieve sustainable revenue growth.
"There are over 600,000 landscaping companies in the US, with more than 85% failing to reach $2 million in annual revenue," Halstead says. "Why do the top 8% skyrocket to $3 million-plus while the large majority struggle to scale year after year? It certainly takes many pieces all working together, but we’ve proven that marketing plays a massive role in this journey."
Planting Acorns offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges. The platform reveals a, step-by-step marketing roadmap based on the Halstead system. Through bite-sized education segments, free actionable weekly marketing tips, detailed training classes and hands-on coaching from industry veterans like Halstead himself, members can implement strategies that drive growth.
“I’ve never lost my passion for what I am calling 'The Road to $3 million,' and I’m super excited," he says. Halstead can continue focusing on being the absolute best marketing partner for the top 10%, and now with Planting Acorns, we can help equip contractors with the marketing knowledge, tools, and support they need to unlock their full growth potential. I grew up in this industry, working much of my early career with the very same companies Planting Acorns is designed to help. It’s a full-circle day for me in many ways.”
