Make a Great First Impression with Your Business Cards

Business cards are one of the first marketing tools used for self-promotion, and have been used for many centuries. In 17th century Europe, an individual's success or failure in society often depended on how well they promoted themselves. Business cards are still necessary today to make a connection, even with vast Internet access and smart phones. To leave a memorable first impression, your business cards should be printed on premium card stock with high quality graphics and readable text. To make your business cards stand out, Smart Postal Centers can help. We offer color printing at the Lake of the Ozarks and full graphics capabilities. Here is a list of reasons why business cards are effective for business and you should keep a handful of them at all times:

Business Cards Are the First Impression of Your Brand


The purpose of business cards are to share your name, numbers, email address, and other contact information with business prospects. Another reason to have a quality business card is to create a memorable impression of your brand. You should express the tone of your company through your business cards.  A unique business card can create conversation and may stay in a person's pocket longer.

Business Cards Allow Follow Up


Business cards are a personal way to encourage people to follow up with you. When offering a
product or service, this could be your opportunity to make a sale. Handing your business card to a prospective client will look more professional than reaching for a pen and paper. Typing contact details in a mobile phone or tablet is more impersonal and not all people are comfortable with it. Engaging in conversation and making eye contact is how a real relationship begins. This becomes a perfect opportunity to offer your business card to the person.

Business Cards Show You Are A Professional


Presenting your business card when meeting with people, whether at scheduled meetings or in unplanned situations shows you are a professional. Printing business cards for your business and carrying them with you indicates you are prepared. This can send a message to the prospective client that you operate your business with the same organization.

Business Cards Are A Good Referral Tool


Networking events are common among business owners and having a good supply of business cards can bring you referrals. Your business card should not only list all of your contact information, but also information about the company or your skills. This allows people to follow up with you regarding possible business opportunities. If the card gets passed along, the extra detail will make a difference to the person that you initially gave the card to. They may know someone in their network that could use your service.


Let Smart Postal Centers Create Your Business Cards


You can meet a potential business prospect at a tradeshow, charity fundraiser, or even at the grocery store. By arming yourself with business cards at all times, you shouldn't miss an opportunity to make a valuable business connection. Smart Postal Centers can handle the printing for a large or small business. If you are a new business or company looking for a re-design of your current business card, let our design team help you today!

Make Your Marketing Pop With Color!

Colors can really make a difference in your Lake of the Ozarks marketing campaign. Often, colors can affect our emotions in many different ways, by evoking the sense of taste or smell or by bringing forth past memories. Make your next marketing campaign really effective by spending some time thinking about your color scheme. Fortunately, Smart Postal Centers has a huge amount of experience working with our clients to pick the perfect colors for their marketing campaign.

The Psychology of Color


Color is powerful because it can change the mood of your consumers. For example, many people love blue. It is serene, and reminiscent of water and sky. A boat rental company might choose a blue logo, to remind its customers of a good day boating at the lake. Every time the customer sees their blue logo, it invokes a positive memory and they may continue to use the company's services. If appropriate marketing can positively change the state of mind of a customer, then this can deepen the bond with your brand. 

Common Colors Used in Marketing


Since the beginning of marketing, color has been used among marketers to distinguish different products and services. Think of the ways colors are used when decorating for baby showers versus the colors of decorations you would buy for a 40th birthday party. Obviously, these colors could be very different. Here are some meanings of commonly used colors in marketing:

  • Red is eye-catching.  It is a warm color associated with love, energy, excitement, and intensity. Restaurants use red often because it raises the heart beat and can make people feel hungry.
  • Orange is not as overpowering as red. Theme parks, toy companies, and entertainment products use orange because it suggests positive energy.
  • Blue is calm and refreshing. People view it as pure and therefore mineral water, toothpaste, mouthwash, and deodorant is often times in blue packaging.
  • Green gives a sense of harmony and balance. A lot of spas and health clubs use green to portray restoration and healthy living.
  • Yellow is happy and friendly. Yellow is another warm color used frequently in children's products because it is bright and characterizes fun.

There is not a universal combination when choosing colors for your business, but certain colors will appeal to specific social groups,age groups, and genders. It is essential to know your audience and how they use your product. Pink would probably not sell motorcycles, just as black is probably not the first color choice to use for children's wear.  

Color Sets the Tone for Your Business

Certain colors signify sports teams, business logos, and consumer products. If you have an established business, your community probably recognizes your logo and most likely the color(s) associated with it. When producing marketing materials for print to represent your business, make sure they stand out. The colors should be vibrant and not faded. Full color digital printing can produce quality looking materials. If your marketing looks careless, customers may think that is how you run your business.  

Full Color Marketing Materials Available at Smart Postal Centers
