SETTING UP THE RIGHT BUSINESS CARD

It is said that a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Here's an example of a good business card. None of the numbers are still active but here's what to look at.

MAJOR ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE BUSINESS CARD

1. Company Name
2. Website - In this case it is embedded in the email.
3. Slogan - We Buy USED Homes
4. Offer - Offer in 24 hours, ALL CASH, AS IS
5. Address - for credibility
6. Phone, Fax, Email


Done on the right paper, this card can be used for both professional meetings (bankers, chambers, etc) and informal meetings (with sellers)

IMPORTANT! Make sure the back of your card is NOT laminated. I know people tell you to sell here but I disagree. This is where you write SELLER information when you don't have paper. Afterwards you can pass that card on to one of your G.R.E.A.T. Buyers so they can go look at the house.

Many companies can produce these cards for you. I like a company called AAA Business Cards out of California. They are not the very cheapest, but they ship on time and have a back that is not laminated. (Google them)

Hope this helps,
