Business Card Design–Why a Custom Design is So Important

Business card designs. How do you keep a potential contact from throwing your business card away?

You make sure they want to keep it!

How? Let me illustrate!

Last night after a meeting attended, I had a conversation with the speaker. In the course of our talk, I gave her one of my business cards, which of course, I always have on hand.

What was her response?

Very favorable! As soon as she saw it, she made some kind of “oh” sound and something about, “I like it!” Very enthusiastic!

Do you think I gave her a Vistaprint free card?

Absolutely not!

I gave her one of my custom-designed cards. This card features my logo, my picture, a nice background, my website in big letters and a little pitch for my ezine list (see above.)

It’s definitely unusual and she noticed immediately!

What about you? What kind of responses are you getting with your business cards? Do you even have business cards? What is the purpose of your business cards? What kind of response are you trying to get with them?

Cheap and free is not always best. In fact, it can be detrimental to your business!

If you want a successful business, then you must take it seriously. And this means investing in custom-made business cards. Then your brand will truly sizzle!

Happy Valentine’s Day! A Little Gift to Inspire You!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Just for a little change of pace and to wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day, I’m going to share with you a couple of poems I wrote in 1996.

These were written after spending Valentine’s Day with Travis, my husband. We had been dating for a little over a year and attending a wedding of a friend at Glen Eyrie Castle in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

May these poems inspire you this Valentine’s Day!

A Valentine’s Day Poem for God, 1996

A Valentine’s Day Poem for My Friend, 1996

Blessings!
