How does this Flyer look?

[CoreyD]

Let me know what changes should be done to this yall

[BUCKEYE MOWING]

Looking good ....Are you adding color to the font or using colored paper ?

[CoreyD]

well i was gonna use plain white paper.... but.... do you think it would be better if i had colored paper?

[BUCKEYE MOWING]

using colored paper is cheaper than getting color copies.....b/w will work on a shoestring ...but color will add some flair and set you apart some.

[CoreyD]

so.... what color paper should i use...? Green? like the headline color? or random colors

[Mow2nd-2]

it looks like a turd, sorry try again

[CoreyD]

ok....... any suggestions then?

[CoreyD]

im guessing your talking about the headline mow2nd? .... or is it not worded enough

[T'S lawncare]

If I was like everybody on here I would say it sucks, but i'm not like that, so try changing up the fonts a little, make it look a little more "pro"

[fiveoboy01]

It's not horrible, but there's a lot of "blank" space there.

[Keith1981]

Check the spelling on Quality

[DBL]

it looks good nice and simple....but i called the number and it didnt go anywhere :laugh:

[CoreyD]

lol keith thanks.... i didint realize i mispelled it
i made two different headlines heres the other one
which one looks better?

i know theres alot of blank space..... what else should i add?.... maybe i can just make it 2 flyers on one paper and cutt them in half

I agree 100%. In my opinion, the font used for your business name looks like something from a haunted house. Try some different fonts and make it look a little more proffesional. Otherwise you are heading in the right direction!

[CoreyD]

Otherwise you are heading in the right direction!

Typo?.... lol well how does the second one look??

[CoreyD]

oh lol i thought you ment im heading in the wrong direction... nm i see what u ment now ignore that....

anyways i think the 2nd one i uploaded looks better... yes?

[Woody82986]

I think the headline font looks goofy. Change the font... Thats my .02.

[CoreyD]

Woody.... the second one looks goofy??....

No offence here i'm just trying to give some constructive critisism but the problem that I see is that it's just kind of bland, nothing draws you in and makes you want to read the flier.

You have a good start but spend some time with it and jazz up the fonts use some bullets, and a picture or two, try some different things and re-post it again. Like I said you have a good start just try adding a bit more to it and fill in the open space or make the flier smaller.

Here is a small flier that I put together today for an online aerating ad, it literally took less then 30 minutes to do and see how something as simple as a picture can really spruce up a flier.

[CoreyD]

what kind of a picture?........ like clipart of a rake or lawnmower?

[CoreyD]

well i guess i could try and give it a background i was trying to keep it mostly white so i wouldnt use so much ink.... but if a background would help me get customers im willing to do it

[Wells]

What you need to realize is your flier is going up against a dozen others that the clients are going to receive. If your flier comes accross as well thought out and professional looking the client will assume you also take that same pride in your landscape work. If it looks like it was thrown together by a 13 year old then I wouldn't expect too many calls.

Also If your flier is going to cost you an extra .02 cents to print in order to have some nice photos or background versus a plain jane white text flier wouldn't you think it's worth the extra pennies. If you put out 5000 fliers and they cost you .02 cents more to print your only increasing your overall printing costs by $100
One client will more then make up for your increased costs.

There are many things in this business you can try and cut the corners on to try and save some money but your marketing shouldn't be one of them.

[CoreyD]

alright well's im workin on now....

[CoreyD]

ok is this flyer any better?

[CoreyD]

come on yall tell me how this one looks

[Wells]

Corey,
Here is something I threw together that should help point you in the right direction.

[CoreyD]

Dang wells.... how did you put that together?.... what program do you use?... thats awesome :)

[Wells]

Thanks, it was done with Adobe Illustrator.
Ooops, looks like I didn't proof read it very well.
Messed up on the Spring/Fall Cleanup part, leaf should come before cleanup not after.

If you have Illustrator I can send you the file and you can edit it to your liking.

[CoreyD]

and i spent $40 on this program that helps makes flyers and i couldnt come up with $hit :\ lol

[rameigh]

Hey Wells can you toss me that file? I would like to load it in photoshop and do some editing myself with it and see what i can come up with. The email is rameigh@charter.net. Thanks a lot man

[CoreyD]

I dont think i have illistrator..... i been useing a program called Print Perfect..... but my e mail is urbansmok@aol.com i can give it a try...... im not much of a computer guy

[sildoc]

haven't read the whole post but needs some work. try using other colors such as red to catch eye. use up some of that other space. Simple is good but too simple doesn't do the job.

[ubirajara83]

I think it looks a little too plain. Try adding pictures of houses youve done before and after or any pic

[CoreyD]

hows this Wells? i changed it a bit from the one you made... apparently i could do similar with my program i put different pictures on it..... and i put star shaped leafs instead of stars by the headline.... let me know how it is....

anyone else give me suggestions to.... thanks

[Wells]

Corey, that looks much better. You filled up the empty space, added some pictures and some color. It's night and day from the flier you originally started with.
Also the leaves do look better then the stars.

[ubirajara83]

Much better The only flaw i see is the pictured are a little distorded (blurry)

[CoreyD]

alright.... thanks for the help wells..... now heres the next question should it be printed on white paper or random colored paper

[Ecoscape01]

I agree 100%. In my opinion, the font used for your business name looks like something from a haunted house. Try some different fonts and make it look a little more proffesional. Otherwise you are heading in the right direction!

When I saw the font, the first thing that I thought of was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:laugh: I does kinda look a little empty but the slogan is nice

[Ecoscape01]

As for your final.......I'm jealous...........when printing photos, I would have copies made on the photo setting and use white paper....cuz I think printing those photos on top of another color might look a litlle wierd.

[Midwest Lawn Services]

Set yourself apart. Be original. Give it some time, lots of changes, make many different kinds and com0are them. If this is how you plan on advertising, well..., remember first impressions are everything. Good luck kid.

[fiveoboy01]

Looks much better.

FYI, there should be no apostrophe in the word services
