Get Noticed with My New Business Card - Expert Tips and Feedback | TIA

[etteluap70PC]

I'm 99% sure this is what I am going with.

I would love any feedback you awesome cheffers might have.

TIA!

 

[wadesgirl]

They look great. One thing is that I think you need to add "The" before Pampered (since that is the company name) and a registration mark after "Chef". I like your recruiting part too, will have people asking questions.

 

[chefbritt]

I love it Paulette! One thing, is it missing the "S" in Fundraisers? It's so small that I'm not sure. Also, I might put the word "a" in "What could an extra $100 a week do for you?" to make it flow better, but that may just be how I read it. It looks great though. I love the line about solving mealtime dilemmas, very cute!

 

[katie0128]

WOW! Those are great... I really love the "solving meal time..." line! How great is that? I would switch the placement of that line with your Ind Con line... when I first looked at it, I missed the "solving" line - yes, I know it is small in the pic, but I also think it would be easier to miss because it is sandwiched between the two bold, bigger font lines. Make sense?

And I agree with wadesgirl, I would also change your title like to "Independent Consultant, The Pampered Chef(r)"

Other than that... I'm impressed... I think I'm gonna stea.... um... borrow the "solving" line. I just love it!!! Great job!

I love the wording on your card and the $100 reference too...but I may go with '$100 a night' versus 'a week.

Did you make your card on Vista?

 

[etteluap70PC]

As for My Personal tag line I did not want to put it after the Pamperd Chef part since it's not PC's line it's mine.
I have been trying to come up with something for myself for years! I like it because people can see that I have been doing this a while and am not a "fly by night" Consultant.

I have not done a final proof read but thanks for all the tips.

I just dbl checked POP and I will change it to ind. Cons For TPC

Thanks!

Did you edit it for us to see on here? (since your website ends with the / omitting your name?)

 

[etteluap70PC]

Yes did them on vista print.

On the $100 A week I was trying to apeal to the Busy people who may ask "so how can I do that? My answer will be do 1 show a week (or something catchier... I'm still working on that part.)

Yup..............












Dang minimums!

<giggle>Personally, I like the "week" not "night" wording. "An Night" makes me think of a "girl of the night" instead of a consultant. I had a really weird dream last night and now my thoughts are kinda wild this AM.

 

[katie0128]

Yup..............

We need a smilie that is nodding yes for these replies.

Totally!!!!

I'm totally grabbing that smilie for my photobucket account! Thanks!!

You ROCK!http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b114/purrbal/yes.gif

 

[purrbal]

That is where I got it

I love smiley's...they really brighten up what could be an utterly dreadful post

good point....and i didn't think about the $100 a night conotation (more if your're associated with the Emporer's Club )...maybe a '$100 a show'

my favorite part of the card is your tag line

 

[legacypc46]

oh, wait. "a $100 a show" might be just as bad!

 

[etteluap70PC]

Do any of you put stuff on the back of your card?

 

[katie0128]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a warped mind this AM!

 

[legacypc46]

Do any of you put stuff on the back of your card?

I copied Ann's idea and put a recipe on the back on my primary card. On the back of my Wedding Registry and Bridal Shower card, I listed the benefits.

 

[etteluap70PC]

Thanks! It means alot that you all like it. I am NOT creative with words! It was not untill doing the Power cooking shows that it came to me.

 

[etteluap70PC]

Final DraftOk I made a few changes.... Here it is....

[purrbal]

I like it! Very cute.

I really like the idea of the recipe on the back. Has anyone found some good small ones that will fit on a business card?

 

[katie0128]

Great job! BTW... where did you get the chef hat/whisk pic?

 

[chefann]

I like it! Very cute.

The garlic bites or cinnamon bites works well. I have an artichoke salsa on the back of my cards.

 

[ChefJoyJ]

okay, I'm really tired, so I could be quite wrong - but isn't fundraiser one word?

Other than that - they look fantastic! :love:

 

[purrbal]

Thanks Ann

Thanks Ann! I was thinking of the Tropical Fruit Salsa, becasue I LOVE IT!

 

[chefann]

mmm... that would be a good one for summer. So would a punch or strawberry lemonade.

 

[etteluap70PC]

Every time I run Fundraiser thru spell check it comes up as wrong.... so which should it be?

 

[chefann]

I think most people use one word to refer to the event, and 2 words to refer to someone whose job is to raise money.And a spell checker is only as good as the dictionary it's tied to.

 

[ChefChris]

Paulette,
Great card - very impressed - I love the wording.

 

[etteluap70PC]

thanks Chris!

Did everything work out OK with your car?

I was thinking of you the whole next day!

I was chatting on here yesterday with a gal from Marlo's cluster. She lives up in Bimidgi.

Small world hugh?

 

[heather223]

I love this card and would be very inclined to steal the design from you, except I just ordered new ones this morning! BTW, where did you find the chef hat with whisk? :chef:

 

[etteluap70PC]

On Vista print. it was in their files with 4 hats in a row. I just cropped it down to 1.

The card started out as bhe blue one with the giant sunflower on it. I just cropped it. I love the advanced edditing tools!

I watched for a decent sale on the Premium buis cards so I could get a better deal. You can do them thru the FREE cards too but you have to pay 9.99 for the advanced editting.

If anyone wants step by step on how to make them let me know....

 

[ivebeen4given]

Here is what I am using for mine. I should have shown it before I ordered but it has been shipped, just waiting for them to come in.

 

[pamperedalf]

Well thanks a lot for the idea. I never knew you could take a pic and crop that is so cool. I stole your recruiting line. I put a referral coupon on the back of mine.

 

[purrbal]

Good job Steven

Here is what I am using for mine. I should have shown it before I ordered but it has been shipped, just waiting for them to come in.

I like it the front is very clean and now that I've seen the recipe on back I like it even more.

Amanda what is your referral idea you are putting on back of yours?

 

[pamperedalf]

I have a label that I have been printing and putting on my recipe cards on tons of things anyways......
I love Referrals!!!!
Refer a Friend to Me-
Receive $20 off your order
at their show!!When I meet new people I tell them they can refer themselves for an extra $20 in new products.

How's that been working for you Amanda? Do you find you get lots of referrals because of it?

 

[etteluap70PC]

Very Nice Stephen. I really wanted to do the apron but I did not wnat white cards. Everyone I asked for opinions said they liked color or texture in the background. I like the recipe on the back. I was just too cheep to pay more for it.

 

[pamperedalf]

Okay I just started doing this w/ the referral. So I will tell you later on, I am trying to expand on the referrals I get. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

 

[pamperedalf]

Okay, thanks again! I just placed my order, I ended up w/ 1000 cards for $27!

& that's with print on both sides. I received a bonus offer in checkout for 500 more cards at $7.49. Well worth it for me, because I know Merrill does not allow you to write whatever you want.

Paulette thanks for the recruiting line on there, my husband said it was a smart idea

 

[pamperedharriet]

Love your card, Paulette! Thanks for sharing!

 

[etteluap70PC]

Steal away Amanda! and thanks for the encouragement!

And Thanks Harriet!
