Hi Keith,

That is a great idea! Should this include any type of flowers at all? Either in pots or planted? Or is it too early for that?

I did make a flyer a while back about Valentine's day. Maybe it could be altered?

Here is the link.

what programs do i have to have to edit the valentines day flyer. I have paint shop pro 8 if that helps.

steve- can you create a html code for me- and tell me how to do it so i can learn

Just craigslist I guess. I can't think of any other way to promote it really.
Any ideas?

StartALawnCareBusiness is on a distinguished road

Hi Rob:

Lots of guys buy their Valentine's day flowers from Grocery stores. I know lots of stores in my area have bulletin boards where they allow customers to pin flyers and business cards. I wonder how many people's attention you can attract.

If you put tear off tags with your company name, a red heart, and your phone number customers can rip them off and call you when they get home.

Do you think that will work?

What about Valentine's day lawn care gift certificate cards that someone can purchase through your site and then you will mail it in a Valentine's day card along with a special message to the person the card is being bought for?

Maybe $50, $75 or $100 increments?
