HEY STAN, Start out with "Have Truck will travel" I know that Joe Studebaker's wife Teryl has a design company. Try Stude31 for contact. Also I would think that in your area people who put in wildlife food plots for deer and turkey, may need your help. Good luck! T.P.

This is just my opinion which means squat. But that seems pretty bland and like every other landscaper. You don't strike me as bland and like everyone else. I know you are rightfully proud of your new equipment but I do t think it means anything to your potential clients. Like I said though I have no experience in this and it's just a meatheads opinion.  |

I agree with Rob Reiner, I wouldn't use those photos. There's too much going on, it wouldn't look too great in the corner of a business card I don't think. I played around some and just couldn't come up with anything workable using it...  (And sorry, creativity isn't my strongest skill... =\ ) |

Steamer I would use that bellies of jelly photo from IZ-Ashville, or the one of you in the white shorts, or maybe you and cousin Cletus together. Yeah, that's the ticket!

If you have a smartphone you can go to the app Fiverr and they advertise people who will do logos for you from $5 to $100. Professional quality in just a couple days.

If you're just looking for some cards to hand out, it's fairly easy to do on MS Word...you can get as creative as you want. Either print at home or at the business supply outlet, on Avery clean-edge business card stock. You can use whatever colours/font/effects/layout you want... maybe insert a pic of your Valkyrie in front of the truck .... Here's just an example. If you want a logo, etc. that looks professional, there are many on-line graphics services that do a good job for not much $$....good luck  |

Hey Stanley, when you say "Tractor" I immediately think of "Cletus" plowin' fields on the ol' John Deere, not minnieX with bucket.
The pic helps clear that up, if it will work on a business card.
Also, I expect the budget is limited but if you can afford a few "magnetic" business cards they're great for generating customers.
Everybody throws those on the fridge, where they can find/recommend you easily. Might get a few to hand out to the people you do work for. Hope it's goin' well Bro  |

Stan, please don't get mad but IMO neither of those pics are very appealing or grab my attention/enthusiasm.
I think a picture of your tractor next to or in either the fore or background of a finished product would be much more appealing....if you want your machine in the photo.
Around here hardscaping and landscaping companies have been using small 3 fold pamphlets to show off their work as well as their business cards. Just something to consider as you move forward.
Best of luck.
