Also, instead of having a sweet picture of a BMW/Ferrari on the BACK of the card, would it be better to have my logo? (Once I have one made...)

I mean I figure it would be wise to have the logo of a business on the business card.
 
I would go with the BMW (w/grey background). More people will be able to relate to that. I think adding your logo to the back of the card makes more sense then another picture

Nice cars btw!

I agree. You can also use the back for stickers or labels to offer a discounts or specials
on their next visit. Use your business card to get more customers and advertising.
The business card can be used for marketing, etc. Most people will never turn the card
over. Save the money.

:buffing:Darn spot!!!!
 
The ones with the grey backgrounds are easiest to read.

Leave the backs plain so you can write stuff on the back like appointments and such.
Big mistake spending extra money for a photo back that makes it too hard to read any notes.
 
Hey, Back No. 1 looks good which means it make the front a bit sedate, so dump the BMW, use Front No 1 with the Ferrari, but try to use Back No. 2 image with the Ferarri and work the type into it in the dark area.
IMPORTANT! Sorry BMW but you have to go!

I hope these are photos of cars that Ginger has actually done, otherwise they don't mean anything.

One of the questions people may ask when receiving the card is whether those cars were ones he actually did. If he didn't do them, he will have to backpedal and say, no, but I work on cars like that. Not good, IMO.
The white cars don't really show the quality of shine that black cars would. If you want to impress people with the quality of your work, it should be of a black car you did.

I suppose white cars save ink on the cards.

Part of me thinks that a picture of a Ferrari may alienate people who can't afford a Ferrari, and anyone who owns a Ferrari probably isn't going to let someone work on their Ferrari that they don't know, just because they gave them a card with a Ferrari on it.
I could be mistaken on this.
 
Your logo should always be on your card no matter what. If have one use it! This is how people will know you and your business.
 
No that BMW is not one I detailed. It's just a picture I found that i thought was cool.


I am going to redesign the card though. I'm going to give it a blue color scheme instead of grey. When I do get a white cargo van I'm going to put my logo and text on it as most mobile detailers do. Yet, grey text won't show up that great so I'm going with a color that will "pop" more than grey. So blue is my go to color for now

Blue is a soothing color

Will fit my email in there somewhere when o redesign it.


Deciding on when I do redesign it with the blue color scheme to use a blue BMW picture in it similar to how I have the white one or use my red 240SX 'Vert I detailed myself... Problem is that it's red... Problem with the BMW I didn't detail it lol

Lots of people like to use pictures of cars that they like on their cards. If it's a kind of car you have done, then a simple graphics line type drawing is ok. If it is a photograph, it definitely should be of a car you did.
If someone had a website for their detailing service that featured photos of cars that were great looking but OTHER people had detailed, that might be considered misrepresentation.
If you have a picture of a car on your business card in photo quality that you didn't detail, it's the same thing.
I'm sure you can take a picture of a nice car you did in a nice setting that you can put on your cards. THAT would be compelling.

I would go for between an ultramarine blue and a navy blue for your graphics. No lighter. You need contrast for the lettering to be legible in most lighting conditions.
I think Royal blue might be a nice choice.
 
DO YOU HAVE A LOGO??? If you do use it!!!! If you don't get one!!
 
If you don't have a logo you can get one made for $5 on fiverr.com it's where I got mine done and I am happy with it. If you want you can check out what they did for me on my site. www.nolimitsdetailing.com
