Ben.Thanks for the input everybody, it was very helpful, and I definanetely be up late tonite making some changes.
What is a troll? I don't think I am one. I registered for this site a few weeks ago after hearing about it on lambopower.
to Taipan:
We did the same service last year, so our product is pretty well defined already. We do not offer indoor tree lighting because most people want to do that with their familiy. A lot of the houses we did last year were two or three stories tall; thats why they hire us. Maybe 5% of our customer's wanted to use their own lighting.
Is music on webpages more acceptable now? When I first started webdesign, I was taught animated gifs, flash loading screens, and background music were a BIG NO NO. Has that changed since broadband is becoming more prevelant?
To PHX:
IThanks for the suggestions about content. I am a webdesigner, not a salesman, so this is kind of new to me. I am thinking about incorporating the specials as text in the house picture. Do you think a flash animation is a good idea? Maybe cute little animanted santa saying something.....?
You will have to send your invoice to my accountant in Nigeria, and he will take care of it for you.....
Thanks everybody,
ben
Sounds good..disregard the troll reference...perhaps I am being to paranoid tonight, my apologies...I'll edit my post accordingly as soon as I am done here.
Long as you are happy with your market and what you know about it, that is all that matters...I was merely trying to get you to look at associated services that could be offered...like the $30 warranty when you by the $89 color printer.
I think most people have broadband now....and I see it used alot in sites that the mjor advertisers have....so I am basing it on that...if you do add music, make sure you have a mute button too....
..also just thought of this...any possibility for a co-marketing with someone....another Christmas related venture....trees, christmas stores, etc...with a realtively short selling season, getting all the exposure you can would not hurt.
How about moving into other seasons....and doing "party lights" for them...Halloween...summer parties, easter parties, etc...working with a party catering company to have them sub the lighting out to you....
