Your business card is likely to end up in a business card holder with hundreds if not thousands of other cards. If you opt to go down the cheapest route and order your cards from one of the top online printers your card could quite easily end up in a card holder right next to someone else's with exactly the same logo and design. There may be many designs available on the web site but some will be far more popular than others.

On the other end of the scale you have the landscape gardener who impregnates his card with seeds so once watered it can grow into a mini garden, very pleasing to the eye and certainly sets him apart from others, but there are not many business card holders that can accommodate a living card so it's likely to get separated from the rest and ultimately end up in the bin. It's not always a bad thing for a card to be separated from the pack, a card made as a fridge magnet is an ideal solution for a fridge repair man.

If you're opting for a conventional type of business card, the first consideration would be the orientation, landscape is bar far the most common and the majority of business card stands are in landscape format. Important if you're considering distributing your cards in bulk or considering putting in a plastic business card holder in a newsagents window or supermarket etc. There is a school of thought that says by printing in portrait format the recipient has to take an action (turning the card) to read it and by taking this action he/she is more likely to remember the contents. No sure if everyone would bother to do this in Tesco's however.

Next thing to consider is size, not all printers use the same standard size, most business card stand, card holders and business card dispensers will accommodate landscape cards up to 92mm wide and portrait cards up to 55mm wide, but not all. If your hoping the recipient will carry your card in their wallet rather than storing in a business card holder (for example a taxi firms card) then a smaller card no bigger than a credit card would be advisable.

Now you have the size and orientation of your card time to think about what to put on it. A logo or cartoon catches the eye and as long as it relates to what you do, it's a good visual reference for the potential customer.

Don't be too artistic with your choice of fonts, it may look good on your computer screen but once printed it may be difficult to ready and not everyone has 20/20 vision.

In the west we typically read from left to right and from top to bottom so put the most important information in the top left hand corner or across the top. It's also good to remember that most business card dispensers, support cards from the bottom and so the bottom of your card can be hidden from view, even in clear plastic business card holders the bottom of your card will not be readable.

Finally choose the right grade of cardboard for your business cards, don't just accept the printers standard board, it would be a shame after all the agonizing over the design to end up with something that looks cheap.

Here are some common misconceptions.

The bigger the better.
The more information you show the more the customer will learn.
A telephone number is enough.
Promoting all your services will land you more customers.
The traditional matte print is for professionals.

Let's start with the first one, shall we?

"The BIGGER the BETTER".
As a graphic designer, many times I have a new client that wants me to make every word in the design bigger, as if we were designing a billboard. The truth is, when designing a business card, the person will not be looking at the information from afar. Instead, the person will have the business card in their hands, up-close. Keep a clean and concise design makes your impression more professional. The focus should be on the name of the company and niche. Everything else should be a moderate size to keep a sleek look and feel to the design. How many times have you received a business card that was so busy it made you not like it immediately, even before you read it? That is what you're trying to avoid.

"The more information you show the more the customer will learn."
Wrong! Keep your information simple and direct. Do not overload a business card as if it were a flyer or brochure. Many times I ask the client for the most popular services they provide. This list can be placed on the back of the business card in a vertical direction, opposed to the traditional one-sided horizontal design. At the very bottom you can always add "and much more," "as us what else we offer," or anything else that may suite your criteria.

"A telephone number is enough."
We live in the information age. The telephone for some people is so last year. They rather be people to look up information on a website or talk through someone via e-mail. Again, this is not everyone. This is why it's best to know your customer and how they would more than likely be contacting you. You might want to also try to include all avenues of communication, but remembering to keep the text at a moderate size. Many companies now are even placing their FaceBook address. Try as many contact streams as possible without overdoing it. You do not want to have more contact information that actual business information.

"Promoting all your services will land you more customers."
This one here is something I personally have to fight with on a daily basis. Besides being a graphic designer, I'm also commercial printer, music promoter, and a marketing consultant amongst many other services. Imagine if I was to write all of this on a business card. First impression might be that I'm not successful any in field if I have to do so much work. For the most part all my services go hand-in-hand, but the truth is people want to know that you are 100% dedicated to what you offer. You want to embody the vision of a master in your niche. If you do more than just one thing, then create a business card for each industry you take part of. Once your relationship with your prospect turns into a loyal client you have learned more about their needs, you would know if they are interested in your other services.

"The traditional matte print is for professionals."
Many times I have older clients that want the matte print rather than the new glossy card-stock. Matte prints have a longer turn-around time and are more expensive than glossy prints. There shouldn't be any shame in using glossy business cards. They last longer and have a nice shine. In the exception that you would like to write on your business cards with a pencil or pen, then matte is the way to go. The ink doesn't stick to the glossy prints.

To review. The only thing big on your business card should be your company's name or niche. Keep a small bullet point list of the most popular services you provide. Know your demographic and what would be the most useful contact information to provide. Finally, keep it short and sweet. List only one niche per business card and there is no shame in glossy prints.

If you follow the advice above your business card can help you land more leads and generate more clients.

Your edition of Construct-O-Set is very simple because it was targeted toward preschoolers, but it's easy to see it has enormous potential beyond that. Unfortunately, the programmers who designed the initial version did not have the artistic capability to develop the sophisticated and challenging designs that would appeal to older children and adults. Hence, they are staging a competition to attract graphic designers capable of exploiting the game's full potential.

Currently, Construct-O-Set comes with five designs to complete. The developers have a number of other iPhone applications they'd like to see produced, with each theme consisting of four or five designs. For example, the "Vehicles" theme would include designs for a car, a truck, a train, and an airplane. Artists interested in working on one or more of these designs would have to upload the completed template picture, the separate shapes used to complete it, and an audio file of the sound that vehicle makes (i.e., a car horn or train whistle). Construct-O-Set provides complete submission instructions online.

All designs are due by September 30, 2010. The public will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorite design in October, and winners will be announced in November. If your design wins the most votes, you will receive a nifty Wacom Bamboo Fun graphics tablet. The top vote-getter, as well as other winning designs, will also be included in the next Construct-O-Set release, and will be eligible to receive royalties on all sales including that particular template.  Enter now, and that top vote-getter could be you!

So don't delay - grab the chance to become part of one of the most exciting iPhone applications on the market today! Construct-O-Set works with iPads too, thus doubling your potential for market exposure. Check out Construct-O-Set's contest instructions below and win the chance to be Construct-O-Set's next hotshot designer!

One of the best methods is to adapt some form of identification for yourself on a personal level. Purchasing professional quality name badges, generally made from PVC, will no doubt immediately break down that "stranger" barrier between yourself and the customer. More often than not the customer will address you by your name on that badge, this makes the customer feel in control as you do not yet know their name and the customer is now only a stranger to you.

Photo ID and visitor cards are great for business's that require a level of security. With today's occupational health and safety regulations, Photo ID cards and visitor cards allow the business to control the safety and security of their employees and guests whilst still displaying your logo and service, thus also providing a simple form of business advertising. If your after free advertising take this for an example. If 5 employees or guests go to the mall for lunch, this is 5 (basically) FREE advertising boards walking around other potential customers.

Corporate key tags offer a simple yet effective advertising medium that can be used as a quick and easy reference to your business. Every person has a set of keys, and being able to use a key tag for a "product reorders" phone number or help line makes the customer feel comfortable using your business and makes your service easily available to them when they need you most. You are not operating a business until you aim to provide the highest customer service and satisfaction.

Loyalty cards tempt your customers back to your business, offering a free or discounted service for continuing business is a small price to pay for a regular customer. A coffee club is proof of this system working with loyal customers.

There are a few Identification companies available, one of the best i have used is ID Zone www.idzone.com.au . They ship internationally and supply FREE shipping within Australia, FREE SETUP (normally $40), NO MINIMUM ORDER, Friendly and easy 24 hrs online service, Online security payment system and they provide and guarantee a high quality merchandise, fast and excellent service at a competitive price.

In case you would like to try your hand at producing your own design, have a look at these ideas to get you started. Remember, if it all gets too hard, a graphic designer is only a phone call or mouse click away.

Surfing the Web

If time is on your side, surf the internet for ideas. Microsoft Office has a free tutorial for setting up a letterhead using Microsoft Word. There is advice for the initial layout and format and instructions on the use of colours to suit your business and existing logos. Trying design ideas on line is so much easier than on paper. Cut and paste or edit existing documents till you get the image you are after or close the whole page and start again.

If you don't already have one, there are free or share wear paint and drawing software programs that allow you to draw your design and experiment with layers and backgrounds.

Pre-designed templates

There are some rather good sites on line that have pre-designed templates especially for letterheads. Once you have downloaded the template, editing is easy. You can start with the basic white background and the addition of one or two colours for your logo and see the results on screen.

Brainstorming

Get creative and set up a brainstorming session with your staff. Start with a blank sheet of paper or an existing letterhead. Grab a bunch of colourful marking pens and see what the team comes up with.

Graphic Designers

The best outcome for a professionally styled letterhead is by using an experienced graphic designer. Most printers have designers on staff or perhaps use freelancers who will work closely with you to bring your ideas to life or start from scratch to portray your company image. They may even suggest envelopes printingto match the letterheads.

Online Printers

Consider the convenience of using online printers over the local printer. There are many to choose from online so do research the market well to make sure you are dealing with a reputable firm. Look for a printer who offers discounts for bulk printing or equal costs for colour over black and white.

Letterheads can be bold and brassy or simply elegant depending on the style of your company and the look you want to achieve. Strive for perfection to present a professional look and you will go a long way in setting your business reputation for the future.

Moreover, it does definitely not have to be concise when designing a printing template in order to fit your message. It requires the consideration of important images that are related to your company. There are images that you must never ever forget when you are designing a high quality output for your business.

In order for you to have an effective printing endeavor, you have to carefully take note of the images that are very vital in developing the image and philosophy of your company. This will help you achieve the goals of your advertising materials faster and better. There are crucial images that you should always remember when printing.

Your Company Logo

A logo is one of the staple items that you need to have if you are starting out a business. Your company logo is the symbol of your business. It is the reflection of your company. It adds credibility to your company by making it more official, legal, and authoritative. Most of the time, by just looking at this standard representation, your regular and target customers and clients can easily identify the products and services that your company offers. By just its simple presence in other printing materials such as your flyers, catalogs or even custom print hangtags, it can also immediately serve as a reminder and advertising tool of your company to your target consumers and clients.

Your Team Picture

You can also incorporate pictures of your group or team of the company. You can add photos and pictures of your staff and employees. By introducing the members of your team or your human resource, you actually make other people feel more welcome in your company as they see real people actually working to make your products and services care for your target clients. This will help you make your target clients and customers appreciate your business better because they would be able to see the persons behind every product and service you deliver. Remember that it is important that you make people feel that you foster relationships, build associations, and you value them as family members that you would take care of 24/7.

Your Best Products

Of course, it is important that you flaunt the very products that you are selling in the market. Nevertheless, in doing so, you should avoid making your print brochures look like catalogs. You can at least insert the best pictures of your flagship items into your brochures printing to better attract your target clients.

Your Office

You can also try adding a picture of your workspace. The physical arrangement of your office reflects the attitude of you and your workers. A good and tidy working environment makes your customers feel how organize and professional you are as a company.

These are some of the vital elements you need for your print brochures. When you do apply them to your designing and printing of your marketing collateral, you will have more chances of achieving what you have dreamed of for your business.
