My latest Business card (what do you think?)

I like it alot.

The only thing that wouldn't be clear to me if I got one of your cards without knowing anything about your business is whether you're a detail shop, or a place that does a little bit of everything. Specifically the terms "personalized service" and "mechanical repairs" kind of throw it off for me, especially since your company only has "Auto Detailing" in the name and no mention of other services.

I like it Dave. Especially the discount on the back. Very smart idea! A little color for the font would be nice, but the card is simple and to the point. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[bl3ujay07]

I like! I hate the super fancy business cards that a lot of auto related shops have. Simple, plain, and non cluster phobic.

 

[Rix6]

Yup, classy, informative yet to the point without information overload. It's great! Awesome Dave!

It looks great, simple and to the point. I do not want to be extremely picky (my family runs a printing brokerage business and I help out with checking proofs for errors when I can). The only thing I noticed was that the "s" in service in "Personalized service" is not capitalized whereas in "Mobile Service" it is. Hope this helps!

Also don't mean to be picky but you forgot to place a common after Etters which I'm assuming is the city.

Email contact? Some people are weird about having to call on the phone these days.

Someone mentioned earlier about to fancy equals clutter. Having been a pre press graphic artist and type setter for 6 years at a big print shop, I'd like to say that design doesn't have to look like a box of crayons barfed and exploded on your card. A few simple font changes and a bit of. Olof would be simple enough to look professional without looking too plain and "back yard." I'd be happy to help if you need. Pm me.

Helps a lot, thanks. I lost all my old designs when a virus took over my old computer and just loaded an office suite to start making new cards and brochures. This is just the rough draft so picking out the typos is what I am looking for. I also want to play around with straightening up some of the spacing on it.

Thanks, I'll be sure to fix that up.

I just now got done setting ud a new email client so the [email protected] will be going on it for sure. I only printed a page worth of cards till I got everything adjusted.

I thought the discount thing was pretty smart too. Thanks

Thanks. The folks that will be handed these cards will likely get them from my customers or directly from me after I explain to them what I do. Word of mouth stuff you know.

Here's a revision of it after a little tweaking.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

[alko]

Looks fantastic Dave!

Thanks Alex!

you (waist space) repeat yourself with:
High quality detailing - show cars and exotics...

About the 10%...
to me the message sounds like this:
you never worked for me but i i leave a review online and i get 10% off? nonsense, review on what ? u never worked for me.

do discount cards separate and don`t mix your bc with that , use both sides of bcards and show quality and a nice design , the front of the card is heavy , keep it simple
that`s my opinion

 

[tuscarora dave]

Thanks, you make some good points there.
Also for the 10% thing I could just leave these in the car after the service. I'll try to clean the redundancy up a bit. Thanks

 

[Mike McDonald]

Looks good. Like someone stated above, save the 10% off to leave in customers cars. Make them earn it.

I use the back of my business card for appointment stuff.

I like it man - Clean, Simple, and the back is a great idea.... great job man :dblthumb2:

 

[sscully]

I have to agree with a post above. The "High quality detailing" either reword it or loose it.

The font change to keep the column straight is a bit off when I looked at it and it is repetitive.

This might be buy design, your card looks like all high end, as in the DD detail is not what you do. If that is your target, you are spot on.:xyxthumbs:

Don't know if you want to move this list to the back of the card ( change to portrait ) ??

The referral / review tracking "note cards" just use the same size cards ( can go lighter stock to save $$ ) and have a spot to put in a tracking number / code.
This can be as simple as the invoice number on the job, so you know who refered or reviewed you and you know to put them on the 10% discount list.

just some non expert / non owner ( i.e. consumer ) thoughts on card layout.

in general looks good.

Are you fully licensed to perform mechanical repairs? Often there are stricter requirements for that and huge fines if your shop is not properly approved and/or you don't have a mechanic license/ASE certification.

Might want to check that out with the state before advertising that sort of service associated with your business.

Thanks High end is my target but I don't want that to scare off the daily drivers so maybe I'll make a change for that, some middle ground statement or something. Good tip on the referral thing.

I am not and I'll look into that, that will probably be removed for now. Thanks Charlie.
