Get Creative and Customize your own Business Cards

Any professional knows the best way to market yourself is to use business cards. Business cards are a great way to make a good first impression on a prospective client.

Business cards are traditionally printed on cardstock paper. Cardstock comes in a wide variety of weights, colors and textures. Plain white and cream cards can be boring, so when picking out your cardstock don’t be afraid to go with a color.

In addition to picking a color that will make your card standout, consider the texture of your card. Business cards can come in textures such as smooth, glossy, matte, or rough. Most custom business card printing companies will also offer customers the options to add coatings. Coatings make the cards more durable and can protect your cards from UV and water damage, but it will add to your total cost.

Typical business card layouts are horizontal, however more and more people are opting for vertical layouts. Cards cut into various shapes are also becoming increasingly popular compared to the traditional rectangle business cards.

The best way to go about designing your custom business cards is to keep it simple. Don’t make it to complicated with over or under sizing and be careful not to clutter it with too much information. Remember the sole purpose of a business card is to provide potential clients with access to your contact information.

Since envelops are the first chance for your company to make a good impression on your potential clients, it is important to make sure they are sending an appealing message. Here are some tips to consider when creating your own custom envelops:

Online Technology for your School Store

Let’s face it, schools today are continuously planning events, organizing fundraisers, and encouraging student participation. Kids come home with money requests and order forms for various reasons. They need a new gym shirt, they have to get tickets to the dance, their class is going on a field trip and they need to pay a fee, or they are doing a fundraiser for their soccer team. These are just a few of the many examples

Although school involvement is overall a positive thing, the arrangements and process that goes along with it is not always easy. Typically, teachers or event organizers hand kids order forms or permission slips to bring home to their parents. If the papers make it home without getting lost, they are then filled out by the parents and given back to the student, along with the payment, to return to their teacher or organizer of the event. Now the risk has doubled with not only the chance of the papers being lost but also the chance of the check or cash that the parent has supplied being lost.

So, why not alleviate the headache and stress, and create an online process that eliminates the back and forth paper method?

Building an Online School Store, which not only sells logo wear like t-shirts, gym bags, promotional products, and other apparel, but also houses a ticket center for parents to sign their children up for events and make payments through the website is beneficial for all parties involved.

Some of the many benefits of having an Online School Store include…

•    Helping with organization of large school orders by sorting and sending products by teacher or classroom.
•    Saving valuable teacher and student time from having to sell tickets, collect money, and keep track of funding.
•    Eliminating the need of paper order forms and permission slips.
•    Cutting back on the risk of a child losing their forms or their parent’s money.
•    Allowing organizers to track the progress of their fundraiser.

If these benefits are not enough to convince you, check out the videos and resources we have listed under our School Store Section.

Promoting Your Company with Golf

Promoting Your Company with Golf

Golf is one of the most popular leisure sports for businessmen and women alike. Whether you are involved in a company golf tournament or you are hitting the green with a potential customer, golf is a great mechanism for promoting your brand.

Let us discuss in more detail how you can use golf to market your brand…

Competing in a Tournament

We have all heard of networking but have you heard of the new trend- “Business Golf Networking”? There are organizations out there designed specifically for arranging golf events where business leaders can network with other business leaders. Golfers pass corporate business cards, sales leads, business referrals and golf connections to each other while making introductions to prospective clients on the course. To find out when and where business golf networking events are being hosted in your area, check online or with specific golf courses.

Sponsoring an Event

Golf events, whether for networking or for a charity or fundraiser, are always looking for sponsors. This is a great and affordable way for your brand to get recognized among business leaders and customers in your area. Sponsoring will give your brand a presence at the event through banners, flyers, or other promotional products. Again, you can check online or by reaching out to specific golf courses to see what events are available to sponsor. Another way to find sponsorship opportunities is to become involved in the charities or community organizations in your area.

Offering Promotional Products

If you are not one that enjoys swinging a club on the golf course or you do not have the budget to sponsor a tournament, another option would be to market your company with promotional golf products. Customized golf balls listing your company name, logo wear golf shirts, and golf accessories like towels or water bottles can all help get the word out about your brand. Distributing these to potential clients, current customers, and family or friends are a valuable alternative to the tournament route.

10 Business Card Tips

10 Business Card Tips

Business cards are a valuable marketing tool for any industry or profession. Whether you are an entrepreneur and use business cards for networking and advertising or if you represent a large firm and distribute the cards to vendors and high level contacts, the cards serve their purpose of creating a lasting impression.

Since business cards play such an essential role in marketing you and/or your brand, it is important to design the cards in a way that draws attention and stands out from the rest.

Discussed below are 10 tips to help you design memorable business cards.

1. Be sure the cards are functional by including all the necessary information- Company Name, Contact Number(s), Mailing address, email address, website.

2. If you can list an individual’s name on the card, we recommend doing so. It will create a personal touch. Add a title of the individual as well.

3. The most prominent information on the card should be the business name. Be sure to add this in text even if the logo includes the business name.

4. If the company is a web only business, adding a physical or mailing address is not needed, but be sure to clearly list the web address.

5. Technology is becoming more and more widely used as a form of communication. Adding your social media contact information like twitter or facebook is beneficial.

6. A catchy tagline, motto, or short description of the company is a good feature to add so people know what your business is about. If you have space, you can even include a few of the main products or services you offer.

7. To make your customized business card stand out, choose a solid colored background like black, instead of the usual white background. Eye catching text and logo colors work great too. Red is proven to catch ones attention most.

8. Differentiate your card from the standard, horizontal, version by designing a vertical card.

9. If the individual listed on the card is the face of the business (real estate agent, insurance agent, etc.), add a photo of the person as well. This will allow people to connect a face to the company name.

10. Choose a unique material like a textured paper, a magnet, a laminated card, or even leather. There are a variety of options out there that will help your card be distinguished from the rest.
