Get a small batch initially without a web site, imho I always order the 1st time a small amount, like 250 if they go that low. Just to make sure I like them. If I like them, I order a bunch if I want to change something, I'm not stuck with a huge stack of cards. PM Spoocobra on here, I suggest you spend a bit more and get plastic cards from here. They don't cost a lot more, and the feedback I've gotten on mine has been outstanding. Since we're not from the came area and in competition, here's the cards I got from him a few weeks ago. They're beautiful and really stand out. Just about everyone I've given one to has commented on how much they like them and how they've never seen a plastic card like that.

Great card and idea, will print off a small number first.

The vertical cards are becoming a new thing.

Then when my websites done ill get another batch printed:)

I actually think prices are spot on, In fact I'd raise the gold package $50-100 if you're doing a thorough interior detail and an AIO... get a polisher for this, you won't make it long hand polishing.

Thanks mate,

Question should I just use a all in one polish and wax for the gold package?

Instead doing the multiple steps.

Can imagine that could take hours and not worth my time.

Thoughts?

I hardly ever use my business cards, only time I use them is when I leave one in a customer's cup holder. Maybe it's me but they seem old school. My wife is a graphic designer and marketing professional and she is always pushing digital media as opposed to printed media.

Just had a look at your website nice and simple,

Exactly how I would like mine.

Ive been browsing a websites and often find myself clicking and clicking into different tabs.
 
Should have some sample business cards to show you guys today.

Feel free to comment and any changes let me know:)
 
Hi guys

Heres we go first draft disregard the wording of services he made them up:

I feel like the logo and the car photo don't relate I want a bmw being a BMW fan ? and im going to tell him to remove the white line and possibly the wording saying SERVICES.

My main concern is there is no business name on the front and also maybe another vehicle to suit my logo might solve the problem

Please give me your imput , anything I should change etc let me know.

front

Yeah, after a year I decided to drop my "wash and wax" service. I offer "wash", "AIO", and "correction/coating"
Anything more than that IMO is confusing. I've never seen a vehicle that couldn't use at least an AIO and a "wash & wax" on a swirled vehicle just doesn't satisfy me. I figure if you don't want to spend at least $150 on the exterior of your vehicle I don't want to touch it. And as far as using dedicated polishes... It's full correction or nothing... and with a full correction I always upsell a coating, because what's the point of an expensive correction if you're just putting a 6 month synthetic sealant on it?
 
Card looks nice, I love 2 sided cards. I'm from USA so I'm not sure what dry car cleaning is *about to go Google that* One suggestion, I see the icons, but no info on how to get there. While some people would be smart enough to Google your company name + IG or something to find you on there, I don't think most would lol. Also, it might throw off the design a bit, but you could put a QR code that'll send them to your FB or IG page. I don't really know what percentage of people even know how to use QR codes. But they've been around for ages now.

Most people spend less than 3 minutes looking on my site. I want them to quickly and easily find the info they are looking for. Sometimes those fancy sites have to much going on.
 
Van looks great! Good luck with everything I also think your prices are stable and fair depending on how many detailers are in your area and how good of a job you do for there services. I am from monterey, some of my clients pay 60 just for a wash/dry & window clean, 70 with a vac. I think your going to be a successful detailer.:cruisin:
 
The hand polish part in your package, I have some questions ?

How long does that take you ? Do you do any machine polishing, or you just mean like a hand glaze with that word.

I'd imagine that must take almost forever ? Even if you just hand polish each panel a few mins, it would still be not only faster but you would get better results with a dual action polisher ?
 
guys heres my final cards ,

I changed the modern look as it didn't suit my logo.

And feel this card is me in a nut shell

Do you think I should just have machine polish in the gold package?
Yes I do machine polishing I guess that will give better results.
