May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month! Skin cancer is America's most common type of cancer. In the arborist industry, skin protection is a necessity when working outside!

Luckily, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable cancers. Wear sunscreen. Don't go tanning. Wear long sleeves and a hat when working outside. Don't burn your skin to provide a "base" for the rest of summer.

Most of the problems in trees emanate from poor soil composition or structure. Common soil issues include lack of nutrients, soil compaction, and acidity. Improving the composition and structure of your soil will improve tree health. 

Aerating and de-compacting soils can aid in increasing air and water flow in the soil. Aeration will also assist in root propagation.

To aerate the earth, you drill holes into the earth using an auger. Application of organic manure also helps in soil aeration.

Artificial fertilizer can also help to improve soil nutrition. Nutritious soils will support leafing and shoot growth.

Compost can fend off pest and diseases. Excessive application of artificial fertilizer can be harmful to trees and the environment.

Accompany your employees to the job site for the day and take video of what you are doing. Explain in detail what the service is, how you keep your client and employees safe, and what the process is to complete the job. If you have multiple videos, post them all - except try to keep each video under 1 minute long. Explain how your service will benefit the client's tree(s).

Re-purpose your blog into 2-3 IG story slides. Insert the question sticker as a "did you know" to encourage followers to engage with you. On the last slide, share your post and encourage followers to check out your blog on X TOPIC on your website to drive engagement.

Do you have a blog that you update consistently? If not, start one now! A blog is a great way to connect with your followers and clients and keep your website updated in a simple and easy way.

With spring approaching, you could potentially write about prepping your trees for spring/summer, pruning techniques for specific trees, or the importance of Plant Health Care. If there is a service you offer that you want to elaborate on or draw attention too, focus on that!

Once you have the article written (no more than 1 page), post it to your social media channels! This is also a great way to link directly to your website and encourage people to check out not only your post, but also the other tools you have available on your website!

Post a quick Instagram story video of your current Saturday activity. This helps keep your page front and center for the algorithm and gives your followers a look into your real life.

If you are working on a Saturday, post that too! It is another way for potential clients to see your dedication to them and how much you do for your industry.

Introduce one of your employees, explain what their role is and the value they bring to your clients, and ask them to share 3 things about themself! Examples could be:

Favorite type of tree

What brought them to the industry

What they love most about their job

Their favorite travel destination

Any hidden talent they have

Ask them to share their favorite tree quote for the graphic!

Additionally, you could simply share holiday safety tips depending on the time of year. Or, if your area is experiencing bad weather, share an article on that and discuss tree safety during the inclement weather.

Build a "Did you know?" Instagram Story. Come up with 2-3 questions that followers or clients may not know about your tree care company. It could be from services you offer to ways you give back to the community to new employees you have hired! Whatever you choose, create 2-3 stories that introduce the topic and then place a poll question that asks them to choose yes or no. By doing this, you are encouraging followers to engage with you while also alerting them to things that you want them to know about your company.
