I was reading an great article by LOGOWORKS - talking about mistakes made on business cards.
I think as REALTORS we've seen our share of bad cards. Like the one above. Too many words, the photo isn't great and what the heck is the wording all about.
The LOGO is important and the placement. I was talking to a Advertising Desinger who works with big corporations to establish their branding. He gave some great ideas for my business card.
Proof the heck out of your card before you order it. Mistakes can be missed.
If you can afford it, have a designer create a card for you.
Pay for a printer to do up your cards. They have the access to professional cards, not a ink jet printer at home.
Make sure your card isn't trying too hard. Like all the wording on the card above. It's just too much.
Keep your FONTS consistent- don't mix them up. Do you need to tell people that its your email, and website. I mean in today's market - we can tell what they are.
I've used VISTA PRINT for my cards, they do a pretty good job. They have templates already made up for most industries. Just type in your information and they are shipped quick. They offer so many deals and discounts. (They also have a design team ready and waiting if you need one designed.) Affordable.
Good luck out there - get a updated photo - anything older than 2 years...is out of date. If you had hair in your photo and you don't know its time for a new photo. If you were 30 in the photo and you are now 50 - get a new photo.
I'm on my 7 business card, and YES - I keep changing my hair color. BUT mostly I like to keep current and up to date.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS - YOU only have 30 seconds to make one....MAKE IT GOOD.
