Cheers Danny.  I think I have a winner.  I was going to do something along the same lines for the flyers/leaflets but the idea is not mine it's Roger's but a very good one it is too but I am holding off until I get my pro shots before I do that  :roll:[attachment=0:3ac08bia][/attachment]Double Sided Business Card.jpg[/attachment:3ac08bia]
Oh and I had a play again and fiddled with it so I think this may be the one, unless anyone can see any glaring errors  

Yvonne, just triple check your contact details!

Danny have you actually noticed something that doesn't look right or is that general advice not to make a stupid mistake? Just had another look and I'm pretty sure my contact details are correct but you have me worried  

Last one I promise  [attachment=0:1v6yosp0][/attachment]Double_Sided_Business_Card.jpg[/attachment:1v6yosp0]

Yes it was general advice!

Looks good!
 

I prefer the details in white but do not understand why you need your details on the card twice. Is this the front of the card or is one picture on front and the other on the back.

LOL Graham.  Yes there will be the one picture on each side.  The idea is that if someone is asking after décor I can hand them the card Oscar side up and if I think it appropriate I can also flip it over and say "Do you know I also do children's entertainment too?".  Even if I don't show them the other side they will probably look and will hopefully mention me to other who mention the need for my services.

The reason I want all my details on both sides is that I don't want one side coming across as my "proper" business just because it has my phone number on especially if they are wanting my services from the other side of the card.  I feel it will look like I'm not bothered by that side of the business and they are less likely to book someone who they feel treats it as a lesser service.  Not sure I'm making sense but it does inside my head  :shock:

QuoteFuzzy I'm not sure where this idea has come from but I am trying to streamline things rather than make them more complicated. I am perfectly happy with the email address I currently have.

Example:1

You get a general email asking "What do you do & how much."

You would not know what the prospect was after.

example:2

kidsinfo@......

Balloondecor@

Facepainting@

You would be able to respond with relevant information instantly.

You can create specific response emails which have the same design as your card or the relevant web page.

Great for checking which marketing tools are working best.

Have you thought what are you going to do if your email gets on a spammers list?

Hope it helps.

For our business - we have a generic business card which has our company logo, a list of what we do and contact details.

We then have a variety of 3 fold leaflets offering the different facets of the business.

I find this good marketing material, in that if some one books one of the services we offer - for example decor for a wedding, I can send them additional leaflets with the confirmation about childrens entertainment, party goodies and printed ribbons, and vica versa if they book entertainment I can offer decor leaflets etc - which they quite often come back and book, giving 2 bites at the cherry rather than hitting them with everything in one go..

People who have got used to booking you for face painting wont even think of the rest you offer. I know its madness but even now we get people we have worked with for many years saying they dont know the other services we offer, after receiving a different leaflet from us, in a pack..
