Some business card printing companies offer on the face of it very “inviting” offers – some even offer to yours for free! However when ordering business stationery and cards you need to think about the following issues.

When you give out your business card to a prospect or existing client or customer they will instantly judge it, both consciously and sub consciously make a note of how it feels and how it looks.

When your client FEELS a quality product is a perfect first step in showing customers and clients that you are a professional and a quality business.

When choosing your business stationery it always works best to keep it simple and professional. Your stationery will represent your company and your brand so it is important.

Use your company logo on all your correspondence stationery. You could go for a pre-printed design as there are many online services out there that enable you to select pre-designed templates and order them off the shelf, however in the interests of individuality, it would probably be better to have a designer provide you with a unique look.

When you have selected the style you want, carry it through your entire stationery set, letterheads, business cards, compliment slips, brochures, leaflets etc.

Choose a local printer and talk to them about the design, the colour finishes, the weight of the paper and so on making sure to find a printer that offers a competitive price for the quality you require. Go through all the details with your printer with a fine tooth comb, leave no detail out, especially when you receive the print proofs. Make sure that you check all spelling and colors. If you give your printer the OK to go ahead, he will print it including the spelling mistakes, and charge you for it. Checking everything in detail at this point could save you money in the long run. Once you are satisfied, order your stationery, wait for the proofs from the printer and then finalise the order.

Aswell as your advertising and shop or business premises, your stationery is the face of your company or business. Get your look right first time. Your business stationery is important and the more professional it looks, the more impressed you customers or potential customers will be. Don’t be tempted to go for cheap alternatives. Money may be tight, particularly if you are setting up your business on a small budget, but cost cutting at this stage could be disastrous and you could end up making your company profile look cheap, just like your business stationery. Start your company with a crisp, clean professional image. It will pay you dividends and you wont live to regret it.
