Lawn mowing christmas card

[curry]

I need help. I want to make my christmas cards to send to my customers this year and I was wanting to get a picture of someone riding a mower around a christmas tree, or anything like that that will put mowing and the holidays together. Can anyone let me know where I can find this on the net. Ive looked and have come up dry. Thanks

Companies offer cards like that. Why don't you dig in and get some for your customers?

[jjfehr]

hey Chuck,
Why don't you have a few designs made and sell them to lawnsiters to help generate some money for your work on the site! These are things that most lco's do anyway, so why not offer them here? It is to late this year I think, but an idea for next years. What do everyone think?

[Turfdude]

Try NEBS and other companies like tem. They offer cards for the industry.:D

[eslawns]

Try Paul Oxman Publishing

1 800 228 0787

They have several designs. I got 50 for about $80 with embossed envelopes and a custom message inside. The outside is a cartoon of Santa on a ZTR with elves using other power equipment. It only took a little over a week.

Very nice!

Couldn't find a website for P.O.P.

www. mainstreetcollection.com It is a division of NEBS ...Great Cards!!

im with es lawns we have the same cards he has they are a little pricey but well worth it ..... we also give a poinsetta to our residental customers too.

[Got Grass?]

hmm... the Poinsetta is a GREAT idea. customers would just love that.
thinking about the card Idea too. but need a seasional thing, not a holiday/christmas card.

Do all you clients celabrate this holiday? There are many others that are this time a year too, that do not celabrate X-mas.

We service clients of several different religions. If we are positive about their religious beliefs we will send the corresponding card...Hannukah for Hannukah, Christmas for Christmas etc...
If we are not sure what holiday they celebrate, we will send those clients a general 'Happy Holidays' card. Seems to work well.

if you really want to do them yourself, there are a few different layouts for Lawn related x-mas cards on my website courtesy of Lawrence Stone.

Hope this helps!

Since I celebrate Christmas I send out Christmas cards. I have received Hannukah, Yom Kippur etc cards from others and do not feel the least bit offended so I would assume others shouldnt take offense at my beliefs either.

LGF brings up a question I have about people that don't celebrate.

One of our customers mentioned to us the last time we were servicing their lawn in casual conversation that they no longer celebrate Christmas ever since their daughter died.

In the past we had always sent them a card. Do you think it is wrong to continue to do so even though we now know they do not celebrate. If we don't send them one, will it then look like we forgot?

Send one or not? Opinions welcomed.

[LAWNGODFATHER]

Jodi, send them a new years and/or general holiday card. This way it will look like you didn't forget, and you were thiinking about THEM when you sent it out.

Bill I realy don't celabrate any holidays at all. (for my own reasons) But I do feal offended when I go to a store and they tell me "Mary Christmas". Also Most places that send me a card get a Channuka card in return.

[keifer]

Tom why dont you send them a card with happy holidays and have a turkey on it or better yet a pilgrim on a mower mulchin leaves fixing to run over a turkey.

Those are actually "holiday" non-denomination post cards.

I have used just postcards in the past vs. something in an envelope long before the anthrax issue. They are going to be more popular now than ever.

Plus you save .14 on postage on each mailing.

EVERY YEAR I FINE ONE OF MINE BEST LAWN SHOTS
AND MAKE A XMAS CARDS AND SEND THEM TO ALL
MY CUSTOMER, YOU KNOW A NICE SHOT WITH DEEP DARK GREEN STRIPES IN THE LAWN. AND THE LAWN THAT I PICK THAT PERSON GETS A 8X10 OF THERE YARD AS A XMAS GIFT FOR LETTING USE THERE LAWN FOR THE X MAS CARDS

[LAWNGODFATHER]

GREAT IDEA Clark guy,

I will try that next season, but as general holiday cards.

P.S. please turn you caps lock off.

[Runner]

This would be o.k. as long as you don't have someone's house in there too. This would carry a connotation to some, that would be like "Hey, look, this house is a little nicer than yours."

I'm not a big lawn operator but enjoy my work, It's kind like being good freinds with 50 or so people every year. so when they get a xmas card from the guy that mows there lawn in the middle of
the winter, it's makes them feel good knowing that i think of them in a time when i'm not mowing there lawn, I like adding that personal touch.:blob1:
