Business Cards: Your Tickets to Success

Don’t let your business cards just sit in their shiny case.

There is nothing more convenient when it comes to advertising than business cards. They are small, about the size of a credit card, and fit right into the wallet. Though small, they can be a very persuasive advertising tool. Many people will pick one up if they see them, and chances are they will slide a card into their pocket or wallet. You can easily slip a card in with a purchase or leave them in various other businesses such as restaurants.

Business cards are tickets to success. Do not leave your successes to chance. Be intentional about telling people who you are and what you do. Visit the Detroit Print Shop online for ideas and easy ordering.

Design your business cards with your customers in mind. Why do they come to your business? What is it you offer that they want or need? These are things you should consider when you are making decisions about what you want your cards to say and what you want them to look like.

Find a way to integrate both an image and the necessary contact information that a customer needs. Your card should be a tool in the hand of the customer, like their calling card, and a link between you and them.

Being frugal is a key element today with the high cost of living, but sometimes cutting corners in the wrong area can deliver the wrong message, regardless of the savings.

A good example is printing. With the ease of computer use and the inexpensive color printers more people are printing their own business cards, invitations and flyers. But the downside is the quality can almost never compare to that provided by your professional printing company.

The same advances in printing techniques and inks allow your professional to reduce cost, increase efficiency and deliver a high quality product in just days.

Knowing how to put together the best combination of paper stock, letter fonts, colors and design is the forte of printing professional. The result is a quality product that presents the impression you want with your friends, business, and clients.
