You want us to do WHAT?!...
… DESIGN 1-SIDED BUSINESS CARDS
By all means: provided your business card is double the size and can comfortably fit your company name and logo, mission statement, name, job title, telephone number, mobile number, email address, website, registered address (a legal requirement for all Limited companies), and – if required – a summary of services.
Also to bear in mind: if you're so cheap-minded you can't see the investment in printing 2 sides, your clients will assume you cut corners everywhere else.
… DESIGN BLACK AND WHITE BUSINESS CARDS
99.999999% of the time, there is no justifiable reason (even in print costs!) to present your company as bland, uninspired, flat and monotone, except in cases where:
- your company is bland, uninspired, flat and monotone, or
- see 1.
… PUT IN 'SOME FANCY GRAPHICS' TO FILL UP THE SPACE
Ornament is vacuous. Your business is not, we presume?
Space, on the other hand, can brim with meaning, provided you know what you're doing. Try explaining the reasons behind any unnecessary wavey bits and lines, to a curious client, without squirming or blushing. All our design has meaning.
Be proud when you hand over your business card, not ignorant.
… USE CLIP ART
Sharp, long, intake of breath.
Tumbleweed.
Did we hear "clip art"?
As in: the nursery-school doodles that failed illustrators sell to software manufacturers and stock libraries, for 2p each?
Cheap looks like cheap is. The question: does 'cheap' sum up your company?
… SKIMP ON THE COPY WRITING AND COPY PROOFING
We don't skimp on anything. That's why you're here, right? – So you don't overhear them saying:
"Ha! They couldn't even afford a copywriter – they'll be out of business tomorrow"
"Ha! They thought they'd do the copy themselves, instead of hiring a professional – bet it's one of those I-can-do-everything-myself business types who actually does nothing all that well…"
"Jeez! Did they STUDY English?"
… MAKE SURE ALL THE COPY FITS
Oh-oh …! Information overload! Brain implosion … followed by … the dreaded … shutdown. We employ a Plain English writing and editing style that will save you and your customers time, money and unnecessary confusion.
You should have the measure of our company by now. We cut no corners: we deliver high calibre solutions. So call us on 0117 924 6264, or email us: we'll be one of the best investments your business ever makes.
