Hello UKBF’s

I have been a busy lad recently developing how you can use your business card as a great marketing tool.

Some of you may know that I do a lot of work with DJs and models and I have been developing with them how to get a great response from your business card, and I believe we have cracked it!

We all know how import a business card is, cheap and nasty reflect badly on your company, while nice quality and well designed ones show you in a great light. Well we have found that instead of just name, company and contact details, people were not using the reverse to its potential.

On the back of your cards you should add a consumer guide, this does several things. The warning on the back firstly educates customers in an area they may know little about, it shows that you are a professional company and it helps to build trust. We have tested this photographers, plumbers, DJs and several other professions.

Here is what we put on the reverse of a DJs business card;

WARNING
Before you hire a mobile DJ, make sure you ask these following questions;

Are they fully insured?
Is all their equipment PAT tested?
Is their equipment fully serviced?
Are they professional, arrive on time and give excellent service?
If the answer to any of these questions is NO, they your safely may be put in jeopardy.
For a company that can answer YES to all of these, please call us, the professionals

We did this for someone who runs a children’s disco and they put a business card in each child’s goodie bad that goes home with them. From one disco of 30 children, he got 7 bookings as a direct result!

Practically any profession can include such information on the reverse of the business cards. You will be amazed at how good the response is when you hand them out.

If you need a hand doing them then we can design your cards for free with any order. Of course you buy business cards from a lot of places, but not many printers also research direct marketing techniques.

In fact if you buy some of these business cards off us with a consumer guide on the back, if they do not generate their own cost price in extra revenue with 3 months, I will refund you 100%!

It's almost a year since MKprinting posted on UKBF, so I'd guess he's probably not visiting the forum any more.

So, if you want to get in touch with him, you should probably do it direct.

Hope this helps,

Steve
