Postcard designs

Here's my postcard designs for direct mailing this spring. These will be the fronts, with b&w text on the back. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

znice looking postcard mtd. Who are you going to get for mailing out for those postcards? I was looking at 48hourprint, but COASTAL put a good web link here the other day.

The person that did my logo design last year did them. I'll post her email for yas. Not sure where I'm going to get them done, or how I'm going to send them out. I've got a list already, thinking about doing it myself.

The design woman is Julie Tiedens and her email is: julie@bohtieque.com. I met her on designoutpost.com and she did my logo, I highly recommend her.

The designs look good. No doubt about that. Here are some thoughts. Take them for what you think that they are worth.

Maybe they look to professional. If you were a customer and got that in the mail, would you think something like, "The grass in the picture sure looks good. It looks like this guy is a real professional. I bet that he does a good job but he probably charges a lot."

Here is another thing.

The last thing that I would want if I was a customer would be a free estimate. I know, I know, how else are you going to get them the price? What the customer really wants is the price. They don't want someone to come over to their house and take up their time. "The guy will probably not show up on time anyway. Then when he gets here, he will probably try to sell me something that I do not want."

Perhaps you can get around the traditional "Free Estimate" somehow and make it a little more convenient for your customers.
