Marketing Matters (The Forgotten Business Cards)

Ok. You have your business, you have your business plan, now it’s time to let everyone know that your business exist. You need customers…time to advertise.

Have you put any planning into your business cards? No Really Have You?

Business cards are mostly overlooked, when they are one of your most effective tools of advertising / marketing your business. Business Cards have been used throughout history as a tool of introduction, status, and credibility and today, that has not changed a bit. The problem with most business cards is the fact that very little planning is put into the “ATTITUDE” of the card itself. Don’t just order the free business cards, because it shows the customer, very little was put into the making of them. Professional business cards are not as expensive as most people think. You save money and by making them on your computer and printing them out all day long, but is the end result a quality forward business card? Printing them from home could become very expensive once you include the cost of your supplies. It is very possible to order thousands of business cards at a cost less than that of a monthly company cell phone bill.

Marketing Matters…Don’t forget about your business cards.

I call my business cards my “Mini” Billboard.

How does your “Mini” Billboard look? The quality of a Business Card is important to EVERY business. Business cards can Make or Break your business they are mostly the first image of your company that others will see. I encourage you to put time and deep thought in the visualization of your business cards, your customers will know. But don’t over do them…make sure you have at least this information on your cards: (*If in bold it's a must .)

Company Name

Slogan (if you have one)

Your name

Your title

Your phone number

Your fax number

Your email address

Your website

A brief description of what you offer/sale. (This is not always necessary but it helps.)

Your myspace website/internet groups.

(Not necessary if your myspace or internet group accounts does not promote your business.)

Always double check your design before it goes to print…check it about 7 times, you don’t want your business cards to come back with any errors on them; have someone else look over them also. Remember your Business Cards reflects you and your company, so do them right! Invest in Quality Business Cards.

Marketing Matters and Business Cards are FACT: The Beginning & Finishing Touch.
