The Business Card
_________________
Besides internet Marketing, the business card can be your best friend and at a cost of less then $20.00 for 1000 cards that people will keep if you market yourself the right way. Getting your product, your name, and your ability out to the masses means you have to give people information to find you once your not in there presence. Up until now, you know how to get a small web site up and running, and you know how to be out promoting yourself, now all you need is a few tools. Here is one, and it is easy. Office Depot and Office Max offer the very best prices I have ever seen. I recently got my fathers business card done for $17.00 for 1000 cards. There is an example below.
The standard way to market yourself
Entertainment style business cards, your logo is
credibility, along with the information needed to reach you at your place of
business. If you are in any form of employment with Radio / TV / Film /
etc........ make sure you make yourself a business card. You can even add them
to your web site with a link that takes people directly to where they can see
and hear you ! Click on each business card above for an idea... You should hand
out a card to every person you come in contact with, all the time, everyone in
your line of work should have your business card with the basic information on
it.... they can use it to see and hear your work....
Small Business
My father's business card was more simple to make, it is straight to the point
with a promotion engraved right on the card. It is safe to say that anyone
running into a plumbing problem with a quote of $200.00 to fix, might just like
this opportunity to save $100.00 by calling. After passing the cards out in the
neighborhood, at local home repair stores, and area businesses, we heard back
from 12 people in the first two weeks. I took them up to my work, my sister gave
them to her friends. Every time my father does a job, he gives them the card.
Being in radio, in a band, and working for a newspaper company, I also bump
shoulders with people all the time that have homes, anyone that has a home,
needs home repairs done, and his business is Home Repair Service. Therefore, it
is easy to market to people, all we have to do is go door to door and meet the
people.
Semi Professional
Jason Brethorst is one of the up and coming leading software designers in the
video / audio world,
his products will soon be world wide, and his business card is simple, fun,
catchy, and ready to market with.
Here are three really good examples of how you can create a
design for yourself. Be creative, but make it simple and to the point. Give the
information that is needed the most and let the rest of your work speak for
itself!
