Business Cards

Business Cards are a simple piece of your real estate business that can make a difference. One piece of advice that I can give when you are considering business cards is "Keep it Simple".

I've seen business cards that have so much information, so many pictures, so many offers and/or slogans that it takes me a minute to find the persons name and phone number! The purpose of a business card is to give that person your contact information and maybe a little insight to what you do. Alot of people like to write information on the back of your card - a little note from your conversation when you handed it to them.

Keep it simple! You have other marketing resources to state everything that you do. Your business card should have the following:

MUST HAVE: (Need to be large enough to see easily)
* Company Name
* Your Name
* Job Title (ie: Real Estate Investor)
* Phone Number
* Email
* Website (if you have one)

OPTIONAL INFO:
* Address
* Fax Number
* Slogan and/or message ie: "We Buy and Sell Houses"

I have seen business cards where the font size for the phone number and email address were so tiny that I needed a magnifying glass to read it. Make the font size large enough that it is easy to read.

Your business cards are a quick and easy way to leave your contact information on a moments notice and/or use integrated in your marketing materials. For example, instead of "tear off tabs" on your fliers, tape business cards across the bottom. Then they have ALL of your information!

Business cards are on of the cheapest forms of marketing. You should be giving them out as often as you can. A box of 250 should last 1 year. If you haven't gone through a box of 250 in 1 year then you aren't working hard enough

Keep your business cards simple, professional and easy to read.

Happy Investing!
