How To Create A Standout Business Card

Your business card represents you and your business. When designing your business card be sure that it makes the statement you want to send and add that extra punch so it stands out above the rest.

Give serious consideration to the type of business you have and how you want to be remembered. One example is the Verde Boutique which let’s you make a splash. This business card example shows that they are stylish and interesting. It allows you to include your company name, name, title, address, and all the necessary contact information including address, phone, email and website. An extra touch that I just love is that it allows you to upload a photo on the back of the business card. It is a great way to keep your name and face fresh in your customer’s mind.

Depending on the business you are promoting, I would suggest uploading your logo. Some business are truly recognized by their logo. Just putting your logo makes a statement all its own. If you are in the entertainment industry, consider going with a black card and neon print. Be sure to add your Instagram, Twitter and Facebook account information. Another great way to connect to your online world is adding a QR code right on your business card.

The assortment of all-occasion cards found in these boxes are varied enough to ensure a selection that will please even the most particular card sender. There are also birthday, sympathy, thank you, holiday, get well and congratulations boxes available – if you know the occasion you want to be prepared for. Or if you are looking for a more on demand need, you may consider picking up a religious art or fine art assortment box. These blank cards can be individually tailored for occasions as they happen. Your recipients will surely appreciate the unique card designs contained therein as you pick the perfect design for the occasion in question.

The cards you will find in any of the assortment boxes are the same outstanding quality that Prudent proudly stands behind and knowing these cards cannot be found in stores will give you piece of mind that your sentiment will not be lost in the deluge of cards people often receive on special occasions.

Sending Baby Congratulations Cards

Recognizing milestones with a greeting card makes such an impact on someone’s life. Having a baby is such a special time in anyone’s life so this makes for the perfect time to add light to an already special moment with a Baby Congratulations Card.
The Gallery Collection offers new baby photo mounted cards that are so dynamic with their foil designs and embossed stamping. They are sure to bring on smiles when received.

The Colorful Baby Congrats cards in particular is a simple card perfect for whether the bundle of joy is a little prince or precious princess. The stripes and polka dotted details add the perfect touch to the card.

Lately, I’m a fan of the vertical orientation cards as they offer something a little different. The Congrats Mobile Card is just delightful. The mobile is dangling sheep set against a backdrop of the blue sky and stars.

Another of my favorites is the Welcome Baby Card. The banner across the top with the clothes line below is so different. The onesie, sock and bag hanging from the line are nice touches, but what really makes me smile is the floppy bunny suspended by a clothes pin.

Customize your card with a greeting wishing the new family happiness with their new bundle of joy and best wishes for a fun-filled future.

Birthday Greeting Cards Are Special

Hooray for the Fourth of July

Family, Friends, Food, Fireworks! What can be better? Every year across America people are celebrating the birth of our country. It’s a great holiday and enjoyed in all 50 states. I wonder how many people stop to think why we are celebrating or is it just another holiday. The Fourth of July also known as Independence day screams to me history. Don’t get me wrong I love the fun and sun, but I also love the reason we celebrate. My company sends a Fourth of July card as a remembrance. I look forward to this every year.

In 1776 the Continental Congress voted on July 2 to declare their independence from Great Britain. The day we celebrate is July 4 because that is the date on the actual declaration and that is when it is signed. If you read history you will note how powerful these words were in 1776. “When in the course of human events…..” stirred the hearts of men in all walks of life. The founding fathers were a courageous group of men. We remember them often. Perhaps you don’t know that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were two of three signers to become president. They both died on the 50th anniversary, July 4, 1826.  James Monroe also a founding father, died on July 4, 1831. I wonder about the coincidence of that.

I am inspired this year to reread the Declaration of Independence in honor of these brave men. Then it is time for hot dogs, ice cream and fireworks. Make sure to send out your July 4th cards and have a great holiday!

Presentation Folders Send a Powerful Message

Few of us worry about how nice the folders on our desk look. They’re usually filled, filed, and rarely given a second thought. That is, until we have a meeting or a trade show and realize we need something professional and striking to present to clients. You’ve spent weeks preparing the perfect packet, creating business cards, finalizing charts and now you’re left wondering, “What is the best way to present all this as a cohesive, professional package?” The answer is Presentation Folders!

Presentation Folders send a powerful message that you are prepared and ready for action! Handing an existing or potential client a beautiful card stock folder, with your company logo, and your business card tucked into the pocket is a small way to make a big impression. No one likes to carry around an assortment of loose papers, or scramble to keep them from going everywhere while paper clips catch on one another.  Presentation Folders will make you the hero who solves this messy problem.

If you’re using presentation folders for a trade show or exhibit, they are also a great marketing tool! Much like the infamous little black dress, a distinguished folder design with your company logo embossed in eye-catching gold or silver foil is an easy way to project a classic, never out of style image. People will be talking about your company!
