How about a picture of yourself as a black & white silhouette. Could be actual picture with no flash and setting sun (or rising), back lighting you. Or make it like a road sign in basic animated form. Your only limited to your imagination. Just keep in mind that your customers are the ones that have to understand what the picture is so K.I.S.S. ! Maybe ask some of your friends what they think a good picture or symbol for an arborist should be. My .02 ! HC
 
mpatch,

How can you use that picture in your ad?

No helmet or safety glasses
The chainsaw looks like a Homelite from about 1980

Not very professional.

It does look like the climber is using SRT but I don't see a backup to the figure eight. Not a safe way to climb.

When I look for contractors I skip over any that say that they will beat anyone's price. The other way to get a skipover is to have a name that is made of alphabet soup like AAA or ABC, just to get at the beginning of the list.

Even so...how could you use it in the first place? There are plenty of other pieces of clip art to use.

In the thread about the "Big Picture" there is lots of hand wringing about the current state of affairs. Promoting unsafe work practices doesn't shine the best light on our profession.
 
Mpatch-the guy isn't even wearing spurs in that pic. how unprofessional! In Chilliwack B.C. a tree co. is called Joe Skillen Treetoppers Ltd., I am not kidding. This company has been around for a long time, known by everyone in that town. When a new guy bought the company he couldn't change the name because everyone would wonder where Joe was and not call a new guy. What about a tree service that shows a guy with a doublebladed axe, is that bad? Whatever works in advertising, it is there to attract business, if you have a picture of a monkey topping a tree and it gets peoples interest, good.
 
:greenchainsaw: i already had window stickers made up and put them on 6 cars and truck. i had them made for $7.00 a sticker from panther press.(http:pantherpress.btobsource.com) i only had them done about 6 months ago and i got 5 jobs from them so far. just remember white is the only color you should go with and it's the cheapest. i will drop price on some jobs if they let me sticker thier cars. advertisement is priceless! good luck with it>
 
I saw a really good one other day. It was one of those piss on stickers. He guy was pissing on work and it said he was going climbing. Wouldnt that be a good one for all of us?
