Business Cards are a Must

A business card is a little paper card that represents your business and gives all of the necessary information that you want your customer to have. In most cases, a business card will have the name of the business/company, the services that the business/company provides, the address, the telephone number, the fax number, email address or social media/ web site that the business may have.

On Gallery Collection, you get to create your own business card. The Website allows you to customize your business card, choose the quantity of the cards, pick out the card size, and choose which paper type you want the business card to be printed on. It gives you the preference of either Matte Card stock, or Glossy Card stock. My preference is the Glossy Card Stock! The Glossy card stock is the way to go! Having a glossy business card will not only make your business card look more professional, but it will make it ‘pop out,’ and draw customers and passersby’s to pick it up! If you want your company or business to look sheik, clean and cool I advise you to get the glossy business cards!

5 Ways to Promote Your Business

Whether you are a new company just starting out, at the peak of your business or struggling to make a successful go of it, you should be putting in an effort to promote your business. Get your name out there as much as you can. You want to be the first business that comes to mind in the heads of your potential customers to fill their needs.

Set up your company on as many search engines as possible. These include such sites as Google, Bing and Yahoo.
Use social media. Set up accounts with LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Be sure to write a good description of your company and services offered. Participate in conversations to get your user name out there. This is a great way to network with other businesses in your field and potential clients.
Sending postcards or mailings that showcase your specialty is a great way to spread the word to local customers and other business about yourself.
Another great way to promote your business is to offer free consultations and or samples depending on what your business offers.
Lastly, I suggest you go the old fashion route and break out the phone book. Directly reach out to local customers with a phone call introducing yourself. The personal touch really goes a long way to build up business.

Don’t just sit there! Get your name out there by promoting your business!
