Business Cards 101

Ellerizer — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:00:38 +0000

Business cards ? what are they ?
Business cards are the simplest way to get noticed in the business world. They contain information on the business location, the givers name and contact information such as a phone number, physical address or email address. They are easy to carry around and are shared during introductions and at the end of meetings. They act as an advertising tool and a memory aid for potential customers.

The design of the business card should have a striking visual design that will make an impact on anyone you hand it to. The general design of the card should give an impression of the line of work you do. This image is topped up by the information on the card. Any extra information should be printed on the back of the card.

There are various kinds of business cards in circulation nowadays. They have evolved from the usual one sided white cards printed in black to double sided cards and most recently the plastic cards.

Foil business cards;

These cards are similar to embossed business cards. The only difference is that foil cards have a stylish metallic look paper that gets more attention than plain paper. Silver and gold foil cards are the most common foil cards and they have a lustrous spectacular look that is sure to get attention to your company.

Embossed business cards;

An embossed business card stands out and looks more professional than the other lot of paper business cards. In most cases the logo is embossed but some people prefer to emboss all the details on the card to make it unique and striking to prospects.

Double sided business cards;

A double sided business card is a good way to showcase all you are capable of doing. If you run two different companies or organizations, you can pint them out on one card instead of two. Double sided cards also give more room to add any vital information about the company without overshadowing the information on the front face.

Plastic business cards;

These kinds of cards are just as their name suggests made out of plastic. They are durable, versatile and different. They add an edge to the image of your business and create a lasting impression on any potential customer. The colors on a plastic card always appear brighter and more vibrant than those on paper.

Magnetic business cards;

These cards do exactly what other business cards do but in a unique way. They are stuck on various surfaces away from the clutter of other regular cards. They serve as a constant reminder of a certain product or service. They are distinct from any other form of business cards and can even be given to prospects like gifts and are very durable.

Sticky business cards;

Sticky business cards are flashy and easy to see. They are usually made using fun colors but with the information you want to pass conspicuous and easy to identify. They stand out for longer and come in different variations. They are stuck in a variety of places including cars and are seen by more people than the usual business cards that are stashed in wallets.

The author of this article has a fetish about business cards and he just really like to write about them and see what new designs and products there are in the business.

Carderizer Reviews & Testimonials

Ellerizer — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:44:14 +0000

“Excellent silk business cards from carderizer. Have not tried their other types but experimented greatly with the silk stock to mostly amazing results every time. Recommended.” -Apperizer

“I ended up finding Carderizer. I wasn’t in awe like I was with House of Ink, but their site was definitely above average compared to the other ones, and they offered a huge selection of business card options. The prices were considerably lower too. With the exact same options, the price, with shipping, worked out to be $90. Shipping to Canada by UPS (the only option) cost me another $22 due to customs, but it was still a lot cheaper.” -JJang

“Carderizer’s tag line is “designer business cards” like when you say designer clothing labels. Awesome! So much better then my previous set of cards.” -Lynn MeTii

“Awesome & Wow is all I have to say! I had a great experience with this company, I was a little leary at first but once they started communicating with me before starting the process I felt so at ease and couldn’t wait to get the finished product in my hands. Well, I received my translucent frosted plastic business cards and they are beautiful, definitely a head turner. I like different and that they are. I have found my new business card provider!” -PR Bar

The Benefits and Uses of Business Cards

Ellerizer — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 03:12:17 +0000

Networking is essential for every business and brand to be successful.If people don’t know about a person or the product they are looking to promote, how will anyone benefit?In this economy, new businesses have to work harder in order to be noticed. For those established but struggling business, finding new and inventive ways to maintain and grow customer base becomes necessary.

Marketing Basics
Having plenty of business cards on hand is standard these days, even if the objective is not about making money. You never know who you might meet on the street or at an event who can open up new opportunities for you. Anyone who has taken a business class has heard that distributing fliers, paying for ad space and creating press releases is necessary to get the public’s attention. This is true but not as convenient as having a business card. The portability factor alone is one big benefit that business cards have.

Affordability
Anyone who has been in business will tell new entrepreneurs to never skimp on marketing.There may be some promotional materials that are not necessary in the very beginning. However, a presentation should always be of high-quality. Business cards that use rich inks, vivid colors and layout efficiency are not always guaranteed with a home desktop or word processing application. Software and equipment that allows a comparable product cost much more than using an outside service, not to mention the expertise needed to learn basic operation.

Selling Factor
Every one of us, at one time or another, has attended a networking event or casual gathering and been handed a business card from someone we’d never met before and said thank you, sometimes without reading the card itself. Then days, weeks or even months down the road, we may have found the same card and wondered what it’s about and where we got it from! This is a common mistake that new business owners tend to make. The colors may be nice, but business cards that are vague have little use in the business world.

Saying It with Little Space
Business cards that are either bi or tri-fold allow for more text and images. The upside to these is that because they are a little heavier with more information about a business or brand, are less likely to get lost or accidentally trashed. Images or photography are good ways to stay in a prospect’s mind. This can be found at a stock photo agency, artwork that is public domain or even quality pictures from a personal collection are ideas to consider.

Or, a person may feel that using words to get attention such as catchy slogan or pun will get attention they seek. For example, a beauty salon might have a one-color card with a clip art picture of a pair of scissors next to the words, ‘We’re just a bunch of cut-ups’.

Multifunctional
Don’t forget about cards that serve more than one purpose, such as having a magnetic backing that customers (or prospects) may use to keep certain items visible. At the same time, so is the business which could save a person from doing an online search or dragging out the traditional, bulky yellow page directory. Or use the back of business card to list information, fun facts or whatever your customers may find useful.

Business card uses and styles offer almost limitless potential for spreading the word about your business or brand. Business cards are one of the most effective and affordable promotional tools available to business.

Clear and Frosted Business Card Design File Setup

Ellerizer — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:53:02 +0000

Setting up artwork for transparent business cards are exactly the same as standard paper prints with the exception of “zero white”. This means that there is no white ink with CYMK printing. So if your artwork has pure white (#ffffff), it will not show on the final printed frosted or clear cards. Those areas where your artwork has white will be completely transparent with the clear cards and semi-transparent with the frosted cards. Any other color on your artwork will be printed accordingly.
