What do you think about my business card?

Mirror Detailing said:
Actually I look at that card and the first thing coming to mind is...what business are you trying to offer. Other than your name that card does not give any type of idea to what you do. Hell I would think you either work in the Club Industry or some type of Art Industry.

Hell mine is not a great example, but it at least gives idea that I work in something automotive related and says at least Mobile Detailing.

I agree. Other than the name...there's really nothing hinting at your service. Try incorporating one of your pictures maybe?

I know man - just kiddin with ya...... I like to keep it simple and professional personally.

There are many businesses that get flashy and succeed because of it...... if you do a great job on every detail your cards will stand out that much more :dblthumb2:

That's exactly why I disagree with the name. If the name at least mentions real quick the service he does he would save a lot of work and time trying to show what his DBA really is and it wouldn't be consider a simple card no more.

I personally think that in the business of detailing...the look of your card doesn't matter as much. Once you impress the customer...they'll keep your card regardless. Your card can be made of gold, and if your service is lack luster...it's getting pawned for cash, ha.

Doesn't hurt to have a good looking card, cause you come across professional. But, whether or not they keep the card has nothing to do with how it looks after they try your service IMO.
 
Slick Auto Detailing would have been better. I don't know how much you thought about it before purchasing the domain and doing the business design. But is extremely important in have giving it a lot of thinking before moving on. I think you going to fast my opinion basically. But what's done is done and keep moving on working hard to make it happen, unless your willing in doing it again

Very true. But in a professional environment, giving some a overly artistic card trying to sale a manual service, speaks volumns about the business. The first impression for your business and yourself is the handshake and your business card. Give someone a over flashy card and there going to think your someone who is overly flashy and not very professional.

Yeah Kris I get that. I'm sure the work that I will provide will be above what other people do around here. I think I have OCD when it comes to detailing, I have to make sure every spot is clean before I can say I'm finished.

I think the card being so different and stand out will also add to what people think of my work. I don't take any breaks when I'm working, the last two S2k I worked for 10 hours non stop. Once I start, I don't remember to take breaks other then bathroom. :) I just keep going, I think I have a problem guys. LOLIm the MAN

This may be odd and I thought of this when he started this thread...... but here we go lol:

The name at first made me think of Big **** Detailing..... thats what it sounds like. So originally I thought, well that won't go over well.... BUT, the reason I didn't say anything is because subconsciously Big Slick Detailing will sell to women more than likely. This is not inappropriate guys, just something I learned in business class and economics believe it or not.
 
Right now most of the working that I'm getting are from friends or other people on forums where they already seen my work. And there seem to be a lot of people really interested in my service. I think most of my work will be from forums so that people will already know what they going be getting. And after each car detailed, I can pass out a few to the client to see if he has any friends that wants detail done on their cars.

HAHa yeah a few of my friend thought of the same thing when they first saw it. The only reason they thought it was **** was because the "sl" looked like a "d" before. Now its capitalized it looks much better.

I wanted to put some meaning into my business name. And I have always use slick in my user name. So I was remembering how I missed playing poker and "Big Slick" came into my mind. I may have rushed it but I still like the name.

Ok heres a professional girl's POV.

1. Make it glossy. Glossy shows quality. Shows you care about the quality of things with your name on it.
2. Use thicker/nicer paper. Again shows quality.
3. I think dark blue over black. It flows better to me.
4. Use both sides of the card. Its a good use of space. Potentially you could do before and afters, or a saying or something car related. This is where you could add detailing stuff like people have been speakng about.

Only my opinion on it. Hope it helps. :)

Thanks! We were going go for the glossy look. it also give it more professional feel. Changing color will be kept in mind. We were going for professional grade paper. Going look into using extra space and maybe put some auto stuff there.
