Totally agree; handouts, although need to be user friendly; will at least appreciate the direction; whether they go to the masses or not. Acts of information instill a quick, but kind gesture. They may become repeat customers based on the fact you t…
In my past experience, outling with a handbook is helpful, along with a verbal discussion of expectations is a good starting point. Our success in this industry is based on quality product, and service, as well as knowledge. My style and ethics I ha…
Hi Danielle, thanks for your comments, you bring us some interesting points. I think what we are trying to do at Landscape Vision is to create relationships with our customers and pros like you. When we developed our software we never thought consumers would be asking for advice as to what plants to plant where and why, but they are. We are reaching out to garden centers and pro because we get far too many calls asking for design advise, and plant purchase suggestion. We think there is a need to bridge the gap between garden centers and the zillions of computer users. We would encourage garden center and pros with vast amounts of expertise to give us an opportunity to connect them with people in need of their services. Everyone who creates a design using our software or any software for that matter, will shop for the plants and materials needed to complete their landscape project, we just want to help them do that, we want to provide them with some retails options and access to people who know what they are talking about. Now other garden design software is offering a connection to retailers, no software offers garden design advice, we want to do this. I just wish garden centers would realize the potential here. Web site, software, is here, there’s no getting around that! The old needs to offer what they know in new ways. We will keep plugging away and see what happens. So what do you do Danielle, you apparently know plants?
