There is a crew that works in our area that wears dark burgandy coveralls even when it's 100 degrees out. What keeps them from passing out, I'll never know. They sure look good all dressed alike, but their work is horrible. I feel that a sign on your truck for a future customer to get your phone number would be the first important thing. If someone sees you out mowing, trimming, ect. they won't see your name and phone number on your shirt or hat. I feel the best advertisement you can have is your truck in front of a nice looking lawn.<p>I guess we do everything wrong, but we turn down work every week in the summer. We wear clean clothes every day, but nobody matches. My beard doesn't even match my helpers beard. I won't put a sign on my truck, because I don't want the paint messed up and I don't need more work. We don't even have a published phone number. Word of mouth is the best advertising out there and I feel a good looking lawn is the best thing to draw more customers. Several customers have told us, "You wouldn't believe how many people stop and ask us, who does your lawn". We could be a lot bigger company, but I don't want the headaches of being bigger. I'm too old for that. BTW, there is nothing wrong with a neat shirt with your logo, but the moral of the story is, do the best job you can and the work will come your way. <p>----------<br><a href="http://pages.prodigy.net/eric.erickson/index.html">Eric@ELM</a><br>
