Lawn care business tips
Well I ordered up two of your holders today Artie.
I had one of the black oval holders but it fell off and now i don't remember were I put the stupid thing.
But I think the clears holder will work better as it is pretty self explanatory were everyone was asking whats that black thing on the side of your truck and then they had to figure out how to open it.
I like the clear box with the coloured lid simple but able to catch the eye.
I will keep you posted as to how it goes down.

I had two people take cards today as I worked.

The first was a lady who said "That's a really good idea - that... thing... with your cards for people to take."


The second was a guy who I assume lives across from the place I was cutting. As I packed up, I said hello (ALWAYS say "hello" to people!), and he commented that the lawn I had just cut looked "nice". I thanked him for the compliment and he then stated that he took one of my cards, as he gestured to my "thing" on the side of the truck. LOL

I started with one of those. Ever time I turned around I said "DOH! I should'a put it on the OTHER side!" as I watched people walking by on the side with no card holder.

I got another, then I got tired of forgetting to put the window down before I shut the truck off, having to put the key in, window down, hook in window, window up... BAH! I just went with the magnetic ones and you just slap 'em on whenever and wherever you want. Hey, it's a low cost form of supplemental advertising, and it's a tax write off, so now I have several - the extras can go on my wife's car when I take it out.

I can certainly understand the "security" issue though. Most of my areas are "low-crime", but I'm waiting for a kid to just walk off with one.

Artie, thought you'd like to hear this one...


Last week I was loading my mower onto my truck and I hear "That's the coolest thing I've ever seen".
I looked up, wondering if this person walking by was talking about my cargo carrier on the back of my truck (I get a lot of inquiries as to where I purchased it), but then he followed up with "It's a business card holder on the side of this guy's truck - that's a GREAT marketing idea!"

He was talking to someone on his cell phone as he walked by. I just chuckled and nodded as he passed by.





Oh, and two times last week someone took a card while I was working on a lawn. Sweet.

Awesome.

I just sent your web link to someone on an unrelated forum after she saw a photo of my truck with a card holder on it and asked where I got it.
