Business Cards

[CanadianCharlie]

I know alot if not most of you pros have them. I`m thinking of getting my own printed up and was wondering what I should get put on them

If anyone is willing to post some pics go right ahead

Your business name
Your name
Phone Number
URL
email address
and maybe you catchy business slogan.

Other than that, putting price sheets and details about what you do is more in line with something you put on a brochure. business cards should be simple. You don`t even necessarily have to have a car in the background. Just simple text and maybe a nicely designed background and you have a great business card that does what it needs to do. If you want to give details about what you do, then build a website and include the address on the card.

The card is nice but the back ground really doesn`t speak of car detailing

The statement "low prices" doesn`t do much for me

Mine was more about experience level and quality delivered

I think that most people know what detailing is at least from the wash wax stand point

Not to sound offensive but in America the car pic works, out where I live anything that says low prices works. Its just where you happen to live.

Which is it then? Do you want the opinions or do you already know your market well enough that they`re not needed. In America if it screams low prices, one automatically questions the quality of the product. Few things in life are both good and cheap.

How about reasonable prices instead of low if you insist that it`s really needed?

I wouldn`t put anything about price at all on the card..this gives you the chance to see the car or talk to the person about it and can give them a price there....Thats just me but I would have to guess you would have a better chance at getting the business

Exactly!!! "Low prices" is relative. What I may consider low, the next person may say not low enough. I don`t care where in the world you are, some people want the cheapest, some want the middle and the rest want the best. By putting `low prices` you are going to put off those that are looking perhaps for quality. Since quality and price tend to be conjoined. You may inadvertantly eliminate potential customers without even the chance of talking too them directly. Whereas, if you do not put anything referring to pricing- all interested parties will need to contact you regardless of their budget.

On the flip side, I don`t see the Ferrari dealership put `astronomical prices` on their cards.

there are online sites like gotprint.net that do cards for pretty decent prices. quality isnt half bad either.

Here is the link to the site that I used...I placed the order on Saturday and had the cards with no premium on Wednesday.
