Does anyone have a sample of their business card that they would share? I need to make some business cards and am unsure what info to include. I'm really not that creative. I would like some sort of image but am not sure what would "catch the eye", so to speak. I know someone her talked about an apron on their card. Thanks
 
This is mine. Feel free to use any or all of it. I'm determined not to order any until I make it to Director - that and the fact that I'm not crazy about the ones from Merrill. I wish we had other options for our logo merchandise!

Sure, go ahead and use it. I think I took the graphic from a flyer that my director sent me when I first started, I don't know where it originally came from. It is cute - wish I could change the hair color to blonde though, then it would look sorta like me :) - anyone know how to do that? If so, do it and email it to me.

For the rest of you, I have no idea how to save this in any other format. If someone else wants to take that on - then go right ahead.

I don't have Publisher. Can anybody convert it? I have Microsoft Office. Thanx.
 
my mom got my business cards made for me i will ask her where she went to do that but they have 4 different pics that go on one side of them! its pretty cool. ill ask then repost
 
I'll try to see what I can do for converting this sunday when I have time its not an easy conversion because it is a funky size.
 
This is the card that I use. You can do a search and replace within Word to change the card to fit your information. I've included the business card format number in the file name so you know which cards to buy. I bought the cheapest blank cards at Office Max and print them myself. You can also print a master copy on plain paper and then make color copies at Office Max and save your ink cartridge.

I have Publisher and cut and pasted Linda's business card onto a word document for you to use. All you would have to do is go to Avery.com or Nancy's and download a template for vertical business cards and create your own.
Love the great ideas.

Ditto that,
I was just looking for a template, and these came out BEAUTIFUL!
Thank You For Doing This
 
Here is mine. Best darn picture I've ever taken! It will still be on my cards when I'm 80!

I was waiting for Directorship before I ordered mine also. I will be getting them done at Leadership.

Good luck!

Here are a few things to consider:

Many of us don't list our addresses because this is information that is not needed by our customers. I do have the town that I live in but even that's not necessary.

I added my Consultant # after we had some ordering opportunties that required our customers to have this number.

If you have a website, you may not want to list your email address. Your website address probably will not change but occasionally you'll want to change your email service and then you'd need to change your cards.
 
All of the cards shared are great! It makes me realize that I haven't followed through on my business card idea. Is there anyone out there that either is familiar with PHOTOSHOP or knows someone who is familiar with PHOTOSHOP that would be interested in doing a small job in return for a reasonable fee? What I want to do is use a childhood picture of myself and add a chef's hat for use on my business cards. I've tried it myself, but I need to learn too much before I'd be successful. Thanks!
 
would love too

Here is both mine and my recruit's. I just use Word.


I LOVE these Debi!! I think I'm going to steal them!! The look is very nice!! I realized that the rest of my business cards are on magnets and I have nurse's week next week!:eek:

And I told myself that I'm not ordering business cards again until I promote to Director which should be next month!!!:D
 
Just a note guys - you CANNOT make your own business cards using the Chef Hat logo:

"You may not use the chef’s hat icon by itself in any format in any way other than on pre-approved materials you purchase from our licensed merchandise vendors or downloaded from Consultant’s Corner (for example, promotional flyers). Because we want this image and the tagline to become a symbol of what The Pampered Chef® stands for, we must carefully control its use. If you have the chef’s hat icon on your Personal Web Site, use it in e-mail, on flyers or anything else you produce, you must remove it."
 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! :D :D :D :D :D I'm printing my cards now!!!

I've changed a few of the pictures but I really like the fonts and the way they look.

Thanks for sharing!:D :D

Yes you can use it it says
or downloaded from Consultant’s Corner (for example, promotional flyers)
If the icon is downloaded from CC then you most certainly use it.
