BUSINESS CARDS

Hello everyone, my business is not 100% fully operational. I'm still getting jobs by word-of-mouth advertising.

But one day at a cafe they offered my their business card which they stamp every time you buy a cup of coffee. The business card was not cheaply made and was thicker than typical business cards. I asked where did they get their business card made.

Well, it just so happens one of their employees designed it for them.

To make a big story short, I gave the designer my ideas and thus now I have a business card.

Hope you like it!

PS - Try to give your designer as much information as possible about your business to make their job a little easier.

Here's a link to my business card:

Looks good, man. I am guessing the "your safe with us" is a play on words and not an unintentional grammar issue?

Nice and clean and to the point. Also nice you added a tag line. Like The key Hole in the B. Good job. Now Order a couple thousanf and put them in every hand you come across. I go through 3000 to 4000 a year.

Thank you guys for all your comments.

In the future I do intend to sell safes so I choose the tagline, "Your Safe With Us!", as your safe is with us until you buy it.

One of the first Ideas I had was to use a logo with a safe on it as that would make more sense.

But it is a play on words.

The only problem I didn't like was the front color was a darker blue from the back. The designer mentioned that to me when she received the cards in the mail. So hopefully we will get it right on the second order. I only had 250 cards made.

Another idea I had was to use a bit key on my business card and had lent my key catalog book so my designer could study. I liked her idea of still using the bit key but she also made it modern which I liked a lot.

Now I need to find a good marketing person.

Good luck to you. I bet LA is a very competetive market.

Best of luck, just don't rely on luck. That's a bad business plan! The professional card is a great start, they say image is everything! This profession has a lot of hackers. The more professional you present yourself to be, the more business you will attract. Go forth and conquer!
