Starting Your Business with Cards

The world is now filled with so many of the technological advances that people tend to forget that doing things the old way is still better that ever. Take business cards as an example, many now see it as old-fashioned given the fact we now have a LinkedIn and other online ways to store our personal credentials for business networking. But mind you, business cards may be small but they are what you are looking for something bigger to happen in your life.

Regardless of what other people say, there are still many more who believe that business cards are like their stepping stone for success. Simply handing out a card may result in a new job, budding business partnership, new investors or long time clients. So many are the possibilities bring about by business cards.

Handing out a business card is establishing a connection to whoever you have reached out. You don't give a one just because you think you have plenty of it. Your intention must always be that you wanted to connect with that person, it may not happen now, but in the future and this can never be replaced by any social networking sites connection or discussion.

Business cards must also contain important and vital information about you or your business. It must be complete so you get to give your prospect clients all the option for them to get in touch with you later on. As proven the following information are what people are looking out for any business cards.

* Giver's Name and Job Title

* Contact Information (such as street address, telephone number, fax number, emails adress)

* Website

* Company logo or Company Tagline

* You may include your social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

You will need to put all this information because as what is said "a good business card is an extension of your brand and who you are". You don't want to give an unpleasant impression giving out business cards that lack many details. The cards must be of high quality  and must not be a piece that is only crumpled on the other person's bags or on their purse. 

Besides the complete information, the text that you will use must also be chosen with efficiency. Choose a text that is readable and formal looking. Make it appear with so much business sense. The colour of the text and its borders must also be chosen with utmost consideration. Consider a colour that speaks about your business the most and if not choose more formal if your business is more on services. If it is more on professional business you may use plain colours like white, ivory or gray.

After thinking through with what information you want to include, the text and the colour, the next thing to decide is the design. This is where almost all people stumble when they realize the challenges in putting everything together. It is true that design is very difficult, but if you are an expert yourself, you can do it, but if not you can hire a professional.

Fly High With Flyers

Walking on the street on a normal day, you may get to bump in with people giving out pieces of printed papers. Sometimes the print could be very big and bold that almost looks like words that are shouting or sometimes they can be very small you cannot read it anymore. The quality of the paper is also different, some are smooth and some are just plain papers. These are called "flyers".

We see them every day and everywhere but, do we really know how was it defined? If not yet, here's one common definition, "a flyer is a form of advertisement through paper intended for distribution widely and typically being posted and distributed in public areas, given out to individuals". So there, they are used for advertisements for maybe products and events. 

With the advent of so many social networking sites, blogging sites and webpages, we can't help but think of what role flyers are taking in now that everyone are doing everything online. But flyers are still one of the springboards of advertising and business promotion. Those people you see handing out flyers are not just wasting their time and effort because time and time again, history has proven that flyers are what many people check for reference for what products to buy or event to attend.

The personal touch is beyond compare for handing it flyers. People receiving it will feel your intention. It is no easy standing under the heat of the sun or under the pouring rain giving out flyers, people will feel that there must be something very interesting going on given your sacrifices done just to reach out to them and present you with flyers. But of course you have to add a little talk and smile when giving it out to them. The details are different when it comes from you directly. You can hand it over on the street or inside a store.

Also, flyers are something that you can hold so when you give this one out, people will tend to keep it and once they have time to pull it out they can read it and check what's the deal with it. It is different when the information is printed because people have the tendency to forget with so much information we absorb every day, we can't keep it all. If this is the case, make sure that the design of the flyers is striking and also the information you provided are all detailed.

Some flyers we see promotes new products or announce a special sale going on. Because we all love a freebie, it is also good to highlight a discount that people can get when they take advantage of your services. A coupon code may also be another good idea. Your marketing strategy should be as striking as a billboard, although we are dealing with a smaller print material here.
