New Business Cards

[JimLewis]

Here's a pic of my new business card. I was excited about them so I had to share...

Sorry for the poor resolution. I didn't scan them at a very high dpi in order to keep file size down.

Nice looking cards Jim!!

Just for fun, here are all of my previous business cards. They're in order from oldest to most recent.

Looking at the progress of the biz as seen through the evolution of the biz cards is fun.

I like the fact that you have a consistent image across website and biz card.

Looks great, are those two different cards or are they front and back?

[JimLewis]

Front and back.

Good Lookin' cards:)

Very nice, like the combo horz. and vert. touch, differentiates from the rest.

Nice card.

Now to go a bit off the topic ....

How many of you get employees their own business cards?

[kutnkru]

I think tha employees should have access to many biz cards so that when they're in the field they can pass them out.

Oh, you meant their own -LOL!!!

Actually my brother has a guy working for him that has been with him since the beginning and he has his own printed out with a title of Field Supervisor.

Anything he wants to bid on he just passes out the cards to prospective clients and then he works out an arrangement with my brother for scheduling the work and receives a percentage of the work to be done as a commission check so to speak.

I have considered getting my foreman his own biz cards. But I decided not to for a few reasons. 1) I never know how long an employee will be with us (even though my foreman's been with us 2 years.) 2) My foreman doesn't really do a lot of the estimating. So it wouldn't serve a purpose for people to call him. 3) His cell phone number changes periodically, whereas our business line never changes. 4) I don't see any advantage to people having his business cards over having my business cards. 5) As a morale booster (Oh! I got my OWN CARDS!!!) I think there are better ways to spend that money to accomplish that. 6) Those business cards were pretty expensive. I don't want to pay that again any time soon.

Hello Lewis Nice cards..I really love the way you have also built your web site..Man I wish I could make mine look like yours:confused:
Hey check out my business card just built it on my computer

[kutnkru]

Ron I like the graphic you have chosen for your cards, nice touch. I know what your trying to say but I dont think that you want to promote how green the neighbors are even if your not specializing in Lawn Care.

I would try to find another catch phrase to use.

Ron,

Honestly.. IMO, your card needs work.

I would lose the "20% off" I don't think it belongs on a biz card and is too much of a discount.. especially on $50

I Would be a little More Consistant with the Fonts and With the CAPITALS & lowercase

"Free Estimates" is all you really need


Hope you don't take it personal...

I like the tree :)

Jim,

I love your site. Very clean and easy to navigate.

A free month of service... Isn't that a lot?

You do nice work too..

The color helps with identification. Very nice. Looks like you improve more and more as you go along.

[ron]

Hey NP I need all the help I can get...Thanks

[Guido]

I agree with TSG about your card.

#1 that big discount print up doesn't belong on your card,

#2 I think that it is a little much, you have me kind of worried.
To be able to swing 20% off services, you'd have to over charge by 20% which would keep you from being very competitive in your market, I would think.

[ron]

Ok thanks I have changed it to 10% off over $75

[Lawn-Scapes]

Ron,

I suggest you take the discount off the card all together..

That's still too much for too little $$

I try not to give a discount on any services less than a couple of hundred... maybe 5% up to $500 and 10% above that...

[ron]

OIC I will only do this for a short time so as I can generate a little more $$$$$$$$...
Hey thanx for all your imput....
