I REALLY need your help designers...

Hi,

I am currently working on a report that I’m hoping to have published in an industry magazine and hopefully a couple of industry newsletters- call it a "State of the Union" for the residential landscape design profession.

So I REALLY need your help. Before I start writing, I need to make sure I have input from other professional designers.

That is where you come in… please take a few minutes to answer this super-short survey- there are only five questions I need you to answer.

I'll also share the report and results in the articles section of this site.

Thank you so much!

Heres the link:

Those questions really make you stop and think about why we do what we do. Good survey.

I filled it out, too. Afterward I realized that I don't worry as much as I used to.

Thanks everyone for responding. I'm getting some really great answers so far- probably no 2 the same. It's going to take forever to sort thru all of the responses.

Dude, I figured the clowns went without saying.

I can't wait to see the results.

Jody,

SurveyMonkey.com is very easy to use. The basic subscription is also FREE.

This is a great way to survey clients quickly before working together and also after the project. It's also a quick and easy way to gather testimonials from clients.

Anybody else want to give this survey a try? I'd appreciate your help. I've gotten a ton of great feedback that I'm looking forward to sharing.

I'm only going to keep the survey up for a couple more days.

Thanks so much for your help!

The link to the survey is in the first post.
