With marketing and advertising first impressions are most important.

If you are happy  with the results then your happy, but as for me and my experience in marketing and advertising, it just looks average, it does not stand out, it is not different and please get rid of your hotmail account i is not professional.

Please do not take this the wrong way, take it as a help in the right direction.

If you need any assistance then I would love to give you some suggestions, that you will be happy with.

Regards


Nathan

Cheers nathan,
I havent ordered it yet, as i'm not sure if i like it myself.

i wanted to get a photo or two on there, but i only have a 2mega pixel camera so the quality doesnt seem to be good enough.

Thats good.

Do not use vistaprint either. Reason... card quality, there are better for a little extra money.

Whats your colours.

If you need some advice just email me.

So many people just do the wrong thing with business cards, do not be stubborn when it comes down to the image of you and your business, listen and take other peoples constructive criticism, then again my
advice may not be right for you and your business!

Richy,

You must've moved from Caldicot!

Also, corking name for a Taffy.

I like your card also.

Richard

You need to do a few things.

Firstly Proprieter is spelt wrong. it should be Proprietor.

Next Cardiff should be on a separate line and in CAPITAL letters

Your mobile number on the back of the card should also have your land line as firstly choose, people don't like calling mobiles unless they have too.

Gutter Cleaning should have a Capital C

And finally Services should have a Capital S

Nice card

Also you shouldn't have your phone numbers crossed out like that or people won't be able to phone you.
OK.  Who's going to shoot me first?  :)

Cheers for the help guys. I hadn't done a final check and spell check yet, as it was just an idea really.

what a load of b*****s ive been using a fsmail.net account for 4 years and guess what weve had over £ 80,000 per year of work within the last 4 years with it plastered all over my van and cards....do you really think potential customers are going to care what email address you are using..no they are not

Richy your in the window cleaning industry not the advertising one.If your happy with the look of those cards use them.

I had 1000 leaflets back in 2003 and used 300 of them and all our work has come by word of mouth and not one single person has told me that the fsmail.net email on the side of my van looks crap and because of that they dont want me to clean their windows.

Oh and ive just turned down a cladding cleaning job for £5,000 for 3 days work for a world rallying company due to ill health and not because my f****** hotmail or fsmail account is on my cards,van,or leaflets.

I think I touched a nerve.

I am glad your fsmail is working, never said it would not work, your stats have proved that, well done ;D

Un-educated, small minded comes to mind. I was just offering advice.
