Real Estate Marketing – The business card and how much it matters.
As I was surfing the internet, I came across a website (http://www.graphicfirm.com) that offers a free graphics designer for business cards. When I looked closer, they offered over 10,000 different backgrounds, clipart, and styles for free. I was shocked, because other printing companies offer this for a fee. So I started to explore their site ever further and found in Coldwell Banker (Real Estate) section that there was nine different styles just for the front to choose from. It was one of the easiest three step processes.
Of course you could design your own, but why go through all that hassle when these are some of the most professional cards I have ever seen. No need to re-invent the wheel, right? So I messed around for a bit entering my information and then I went to the backside of the card and saw that they offer five more options there. These five different options were some of the best ideas for business cards. The first two are typical and stating the obvious, but the last three are great ideas to have on the back of a business card.
- Your own design
- Blank
- Tip calculator
- Mortgage calculator
- Appointment maker
My personal feeling was when I was buying a house and my broker gave me his business card, it was blank on the back. I wish, that I had that mortgage calculator available at the time. I can’t stress enough how easy it would have been to just look down at that card. The great part for you (agent) is that anytime someone needs that information, they will look at your card and always have your name in their mind. It’s a great tool to have.
A tip calculator is also a great tool because your card is most likely on the person where ever they go. This is another great idea…
What I like about the appointment setter is that not only can you write on it and give it to your customer. You should also consider giving them a couple of cards so that the next time they need to write on something, they can and hopefully they give it someone. Now another person has it from a referred source without the hard sale. Great referral tool…
Now the kicker: The kicker is that you can spend only $15.99 and receive 1000 business cards. These aren’t your home-made business cards with perforations on the side, these are 14pt. premium business cards with UV coating. Other options available are satin finish, spot UV, and rounded corners. I was and still am quite impressed with the setup over at Print Firm, Inc.
