Business Card

In our day to day professional life, we feel the importance of business cards, almost every time we need to deal with an external party. The requirement is particularly felt when we need to introduce ourselves to someone, especially a client. But have you ever sat and thought on these business cards and what makes them impressive?Business Cards MaterialBusiness cards are made up of a special kind

American Express still has a credit card product to give 5% on gasoline purchase. The name of this card is the True Earnings Business Card from Costco and American Express which is a co-branded credit card product. Actually, this card offers 5% cash back on gasoline in May 2007. I have included this card in my "5 Top Rated Gas Rebate Cards" post.

You are already probably tired of hearing several post or stories about Affiliate Summit West. But since it was my first time I have learned a lot of things. For example today’s post will be about business cards and why I literally ‘broke necks’ and have the user wanting to know more about me. A business card is a quick information about your or your company on a 3.75 * 2.25 piece of paper. That piece of paper can even be plastic with rounded corners, but does that really get your prospects attention? Again a business card is a quick snapshot of who you are or what you do. It is providing a quick information resource to your end user. Simply just handing it out does not mean anything; will they contact you later in the future? Will that person decide to give you a call o

First comment from this forum :"Applying for a business credit card online has now been made easier thanks to the Internet. Gone are the days when a person has to personally go to the offices or agents of credit card companies to apply for their business credit cards and waste precious time and wait for their turn to be entertained.Business credit cards are a boon to shoppers in general particularly to those who are too busy to scout for goods and services in different locations in their area. Possession of a credit card means more shopping convenient and security because one no longer has to carry cash in his possession.Well everyone must admit that times are hard and criminals are just waiting around the corner waiting for the right timing and the right person stupid enough to carry a huge amount of cash to purchase commodities they need for their households and for businesses."see this forum at : http://forum.creditorweb.com/applying-credit-cards/450-how-apply-business-card-credit-o

By: David GassBusiness cards are a low cost marketing and advertising tool in today's competitive world. They represent the company in the industry, inform the people about the company and promote the company. Effective ones leave a long lasting impression about the business. When they are creative they can enhance the reputation of a company in the market.Considerations for Creating Effective Business CardsKeep some considerations in mind while selecting business cards. The size of the business card should not be more than 3 by 2.5 inches. It must be able to fit in a wallet.Choose a theme for the card that suits the company. For example, for the fashion industry, create a colorful business card with a modernized sketch of a girl with designer apparel. In contrast, for a funeral business, such a colorful card is not suitable.Too many images on the card will create a mess. Keep the card simple. Be creative with limited images. This will leave a memorable and effective impression among

Last week I went to the supplier's office to self-collect my birthday present and chat with the sales representative there. (Man, my birthday present from Japan was huge~) I still can't get used to formalities like shaking hand. Yah so I shook hand with the sales rep, he gave me his name card and we talked business. Can't really expect a schooling kid to have a business card to exchange right?

A new business card was on the agenda for today with pamphlets and other administration work yet to be done for my main exhibition that is held at Wilpena Pound each year during September with a group of artist. The focus of this exhibition is promoting the Flinders Ranges and of course ourselves as artist but gee there is a lot of work involved leading up to the opening.Why do I need to start so soon?

After this trip there will be a week home then three weeks will be spent as Artist in Residence at Wilpena Pound.This blog is going to suffer because of my work load as there is also farm administration work that I have to do, which means spending time in the office.

I am posting early today in hopes that you will have time to look at the posts from today and also from yesterday. I hope you are up for one more round of feedback on these business cards - please, please! I think this one might be pretty nice and unusual in a way that works. But I want to hear from you! People have been incredibly helpful in this process so far. Thank you again!! Art Biz Card, Digital © Diane Clancy I am wondering if this works or if it is a little too odd. I feel so much better about the card since taking out the Fanciful Animal Images. So much better. This one you have given me a fair amount of feedback on wording - though I am very open to hearing more about what you think now. Art Biz Card Back, Digital © Diane Clancy The business cards for the Fanciful Animals I am not so certain about. So, if you are willing, please take a close look. Of course, the resolution and such will be correct when I send them off to be printed. I just took screen shots to

  A good friend of mine just had new business cards printed. He had moved his company address. He went with a sort of traditional printer. This was sort of a sideline for the printer and the cards did not come out until four months after my good friend had moved. Like a lot of things, the internet has changed ways of doing business. You might not have thought of applying it to your business cards, but it can make a big difference. I want to tell you about a resource that I’ve been a big fan of. What is the resource? It’s overnightprints.com. I’ve used them now for several of my business cards. They’ve done a terrific job. The prices are very reasonable. I can’t recall exactly, but it’s the neighborhood of $50 to $70 delivered for 1,000 cards. What I really like most is the quality. They have an option for a glossy finish. You can have it on both sides of your cards or just on one side. I have it on both sides, but I might go non-glossy on the back next time, in order

I am so excited because my first business card that is not a Staples freebie is printed and it is in the mail! Both the front and back are somewhat changed so I wanted to share the final versions with you. Business Card for Design Business-front © Diane Clancy I would still very much appreciate your feedback on the name for the “Digitally Enhanced Pet Images” or “Digitally Enhanced Animal Companion Portraits.” I need to get the name finalized before I can print my other business cards. People’s input is still greatly appreciated as each day things get a little clearer.

I hope you can indulge me one more day on my business cards. I have been getting very mixed reviews about the horizontal and vertical versions of the business card for my artist business. Business Card for Art Business-front-vertical © Diane Clancy People’s reactions have been strong enough that I am probably going to do a card horizontally and a card vertically. Most people have very much liked the card - but only one version and not the other. (Most people have really enjoyed the card for my graphic design and web design business - post from a few days ago.) I happen to like them all. (I guess I should since I designed them!) Business Card for Art Business-back-vertical © Diane Clancy At this point I would very much appreciate some feedback about the back of this vertical version of the card. I am not sure if the vertical design of the back is innovative and unusual or just plain annoying trying to read the text. Or something else all together. Business Card for Art B

Today I received a suggestion of how to redesign the business card I am making for myself as an artist. I wasn’t sure I liked the idea (after all, I had an idea that worked!) But I am usually open to others’ suggestions because I find it often enhances my own work and vision. Business Card for Art Business-front-vertical © Diane Clancy I would greatly appreciate feedback how people react to this card compared to the horizontal card I created a few days ago. You can see the horizontal card in the post Business Card for Art Business. I do like the fact that the images are a little larger so you can see a bit more detail. But it also feels awkward to me that the list of types of work I create are not visible at the same time as the images themselves. Given that the business cards are for you - the collector (potential or current), I particularly want to hear from you which card would work better for you.

Those of you who have been reading this blog regularly may notice that the icon at the top of the browser bar and in the browser address bar has changed. I have been going through a whole series of images as I have been deciding which would be most effective. I like the eye. This is the icon I am using to represent myself at ArtFlock and Etsy also. Business Card for Design Business-front © Diane Clancy Here is the other business card that I designed yesterday. It focuses on my work for other people as opposed to my own art work. I have gone through a lot of changes deciding which image to use to represent me and my business. I think this image is a keeper for the business card. Colorful and representative of my work without disturbing some people.

I have been working on my business cards for awhile now. Given the variety of my work and mediums (as discussed last week), it has been a conundrum for me trying to decide how to represent myself and my work. For clarification, the border around the card is so you can see where the card begins and ends. A couple of days ago I figured out how I can showcase more than one image in a way I sure hope is effective! Business Card for Art Business-front © Diane Clancy Some of my artist friends are using an image that covers the whole front of their business cards. That can certainly be striking and effective in certain circumstances. But for my business, I do not think it is the right “look.” Given that I already have various lines of work, I think having some information about these different aspects of my art is crucial.
