What's on the back of your business card?

Mike,

I use a similar phrase too....and It has been successful.

Mike - The back of my card varies. I have seen many ideas. One is as good as the next.

Ours is simply, "We are never too busy for your referrals."

I think it is a great idea, and it does make it stand out from the rest!

On the back of my business card:

Our Mission: Make Our Clients into Raving Fans

Your referrals are greatly appreciated!

Please think of us when your family or friends need a caring and competent REALTOR(r).

To be honest I like to keep mine blank. I have found people end up needing something to write on and they usually don't have paper handy. What they end up using is the back of a business card. Makes them keep it and refer to it because of what they wrote on the back. Besides if you can't put what you want on one side then you're trying to do too much.

Also hate double sided glossy cards for the above reason. You can't write on glossy cards :)

I work for Coldwell Banker and we have our own mortgage compnay - So I put our mortgage company info on the back  

We like ours clean and blank because is always seems that the white space is used for notes and such. So leaving it that way has worked for us.

I use the back as a resume'

I have recieved referrals from it and people actually read it!

 

I have had a stamp made.  Doesn't take up alot of space, so it shows up:

Michael-I as well need to update my business card. The ideas here are wonderful.  

Michael - I use a similar verbiage on the back of my card. I think it's simple and to the point.

I also use the same phrase, I guess it must be a good one

I had my mission statement at the back. But now, I prefer to leave it blank so that I can write on it..... Leaving a tip and a Big Thank You note at the back. I just love doing it.

The Buffini corp uses I am never too busy for your referrals.  I include a tip chart on the back of my business cards.

Mine are blank on the back.  I also use a totally different material then any other Realtor cards I have seen.  Not sure about you guys but here in FL the "referral" slogan on the back of your business card says to me - I am the same as everyone else.  Just like a picture on the front.  I know, I know - there are arguments for both pro and con of photos and slogans on the back.  It just seems to me (my personal opinion) that every agent who gets a card puts the same slogan or variation there of on the back of their cards. "The highest compliment is your referral" or something like that. I did use a slogan that said - Your NATIVE Connection to South Florida Real Estate and sometimes use that on my site because Florida Natives are rare but then I found a couple others who stole it from me - and they were buddies of mine!!!! I like to be different and just the material of my card gets people to say "Wow, nice cards!" and they tend to keep them.  You can tell it is a major upgrade material and most people keep them and some even ask me where I got them for their business! My goal is to show that starting from my business cards all the way to how I handle my business is that everything is top-notch and above the "standard". First class.

Michael - I leave mine blank on purpose to write notes and I like other people's to be blank for my own notes about them. On the back of their card I write where and when I met them and anything else to help me remember anything that will jar my memory if I should call them a few months later.

Having a picture is a big plus too. I read an article that said people save business cards with pictures over ones without them.

Whatever makes them hold on to my card is what I'm gonna try.
