Here is my business card design.

My strategy instead of having 1 business card of like 5ooo cards. Just get 250-500 of 3-5 different designs and see which one gets the best response. DOn't play off what your style is, go b what your "potential" customers respond to and actually get them to call or stop in!

~how many times do we look for things that are already in our pockets...(sometimes we already have what we are looking for!)

Sorry I haven't yet figured out how to place picture. What do you guys think, it's simple.
 
My grandfather was a Chevy dealer here in Houston for 31 years. His buisiness card was a 1" x 1" card. It had his dealer name and logo on the front along with his name and title. The back of his card read this "If I had some of your business, I could afford a larger card." He passed those out to everyone he met. As a kid, it was pretty embarrising at times. He was a great man....

My newest design,
Detailed both the truck and the car in it's reflection! I like showing my work
 
I'm all about "less is more". I've seen a lot of cards where they're trying to fit their resume and family pet names on there and you get lost. Unfortunately, I have to add a little more info than I normally would since I've had so many customers say they didn't think lens restoration was possible. I did what I could and thought using the back would keep things balanced out. If I did mobile detailing, I could encompass everything with fewer words.

Here's my front and back. I love the font and not a lot of places have it. The background is a "composite" style, honeycomb pattern. Last batches I printed on heavier stock and with a matte finish and I've had several people say they like them. However, once I run out, I may opt to reorder these with the same heavy stock but with a gloss finish or maybe just do 50/50 split and decide which ones I like best.

Keep it simple. Your logo is the most important information you need, make it pop. Cars that you have detailed always a nice touch. Keep it simple. Remember, your work does the talking!

Remember, you want to stand out and be remembered - this is not a time to be conservative :) If I was going pro, I might print up some up MF's or some application pads as a business card. Just an idea..

Seen some of those and looked into them as well. A lot of those are big $$ cards. Better have some good clientele LoL. They are like $1 ea depending on many factors but they are awesome designs!

I'll post mine up that i've been using for a while:

Open to comments. It's always nice to exchange ideas.
 
I would personally save the CC symbols for your website and move the Facebook logo over by your contact info. The "F" seems a little too distracting over the car IMO. Their eyes are drawn to the logo instead of the car. I'd let my contact info draw them to the FB logo instead.
 
I did something a little different. I had some cards printed front and back....

My buddy and I came up with a business card idea for my side work. I subscribe to KISS Keep It Simple Stupid. I put the name first and right under it a catchy phrase (not too cheesy). Then down in the corner my name and email address and on the opposite side once again, KISS, carwashing-polishing-waxing.

Is it a good idea or necessary to put prices on the card anywhere ?
I was thinking about putting some on the back but then didn't know if that was a good idea or not.

A business card is YOU representing XYZ.
IMHO It should be "This is MY CARD".

You should always put a phone number on it.
You can put a Quick Response Code on it.
You can put a website address on it.
You can put an email address on it.

KISS
The Company, YOUR name and a way to contact you.

I wouldn't put prices on my card.
That's what flyers, rack cards, brochures etc. are for.
 
I work out of my house. That is about to change next month. So then once I use up all the cards I have I will add the address as well.
