If you’re unemployed, get a business card

admin / September 29, 2011 / No comments

For some reason a lot of people fail to act on an obvious fact:  A business card (or personal calling card) is just as important as a resume.  Why do I say this?  Because if you are doing real business or hoping to connect with people in a meaningful way, you need to connect with them in the real world.  A business card helps you do that.

Here are three big reasons for you to get a card if you don’t have one:

You want people to call you or at least e-mail you.  How are they going to do that if you don’t have a card handy? A business card tells your prospect or potential employer who you are and what you do.  If they need what you have, and your card is handy in their wallet, who do you think they’re going to call?  They’re going to call you before they start Googling.  People appreciate the personal touch believe it or not. Having your card ready to go gives you a boost of confidence.  It makes you feel like a professional, even if you’re not working.

Three basic design principles:

Put your contact information on the card, not all of it, just where you want to be contacted. If you do not want new contacts to call your cell phone, leave that information out.  Less is actually more.  I put only my website, city, and business telephone on my card.  If they want to e-mail me, they can do it through the contact form on my website, and I tell that to everyone I meet.  The last thing I want is more cell phone calls or to be put on more spam lists. State exactly what you do on your card.  If you design websites, say so.  Do not leave anything to chance.  Be direct.  You can give yourself a fun title, but make sure the prospect knows exactly what you do.  Never assume that they’ll figure it out. Your card is a piece of you.  Do not do it yourself.  For under $30, you can get a thousand professionally offset-printed cards on nice paper with your own logo.  You can design these right on the internet in minutes.  A few days later, you will have your cards.

When you get your cards, get out there and talk to a lot of people, and hand a card to everyone you talk to.  You’ll get better results than you might imagine!

Business Card Slitters For Print Shops

admin / August 26, 2011 / No comments

Printing business cards is expensive. A few years ago I got pretty excited about printing services on the internet because it seemed such a perfect way to find deals on all kinds of printing services. Some internet printers have ventured into the business card market and done fairly well, but it’s still easy to spend over $100 to set up a new employee with high-quality business cards. And the price goes up dramatically the faster you need the cards.

The reason these companies have had some degree of success with business cards (a product that many local print shops shy away from) is that they can do extremely large quantities at once with orders coming in from all over the country. With local shops the cost of running individual business card orders was not worth the profit.

The main concern that I have about internet printers is inconsistent quality and service. Many do not guarantee the quality on business cards, and the paper and image clarity have varied wildly in the few times that I have seen business cards ordered from the same sites at different times. One of my orders came so poorly done (by comparison to a previous order with the same specs) that I tried to call and email the company to see if they would do anything about it. After several emails and phone messages, they responded that they could not always get the same paper or print quality and that was just the way it is with business cards. I had paid $130 for 2 day turnaround on 1000 cards that I had created the Illustrator files for myself.

From what I have heard and read in forums, I am not the only one disappointed by the once-promising internet printers. I’m reminded of how friendly and easy to work with the local printers are on other projects.

So my new stance (or hope) is that local print shops look at the newer models of business card slitters and offer them at prices comparable to the internet guys. I’m talking specifically about catering to the frequent, small runs for local companies that need business cards. Nothing fancy – just plain white, one color cards on 16pt. paper with clean, even edges and consistent quality. It could be done well with the new business card slitters available. I think it would satisfy customers who usually only go local for envelopes or letterhead to be able to tack on business card orders at a discount.

There are a few inexpensive business card slitters out there that could probably produce the same quality that I’ve seen on some of the good results from internet printers. But, for a little more money initially, it’s worth it to look at a higher quality cutter that will last and end up saving money and hassle. I’d recommend RB Sun Enterprises – they only make business card slitters, and they have a reputation for durable, low-maintenance machines.

The RB Sun Enteprises HS-2000-B Handi Slitter is a 4 up desktop model slitter that you can get for $1400 online. It can produce up to 600 cards a minute from 8-1/2″ x 11″ stock. Printers that do even the occasional business card run could make money with this model.

RB Sun Enterprises also offers the slightly less expensive HS-2000-M 12 up slitter. For about $1200, the HS-2000M is a manual slitter that will also work for printers who don’t specialize in business cards but still want to offer them to customers.
