Design Valentine’s Day Business Cards and Flyers They’ll LOVE

Whether you look to Valentine’s Day as a once-a-year opportunity to celebrate romance, or you think of it as a nagging reminder of the loneliness of the world, there is no debate about one thing – it’s definitely an excellent opportunity to make money. From the five-year-old looking to wow his kindergarten classmates with the very best candies and cardboard Valentine’s Day cards, to the shy guy-next-door desperate to finally make his affections known, everyone is eager to fork over their hard-earned salary (or allowance) on some sweet trinkets de amour during this yearly love fest. Read on to discover how you can print business cards (that aren’t really business cards) and flyers to get people thinking about your product or service as a potential gift for their sweethearts, friends and families, even if your goods have nothing romantic about them.

Tips for Banner Design and Printing

Unless you’re trying to run some secretive underground nightclub, your business needs some kind of marking to let potential guests know it’s there. In choosing how to broadcast your name to the public, there are a few different options. You can have a custom sign painted or printed. These can cost a pretty penny, and they’re often very heavy and immobile – they’ll generally be affixed to the wall on the outside of your establishment. This is great if you have a big business that’s completely stationary. But if your operation sometimes hits the road for tradeshows, to do product samplings, or to represent in other capacities outside your store, it can be nice to have a banner that’s bold, bright, lightweight and fully portable so that you can create instant visibility and mobile advertising, wherever you might roam.

Picking a Printing Company

All across the United States – in Miami, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., San Antonio, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York and beyond – people need to print things. On an everyday basis, many people need to print a few documents for record keeping or the like. A little less frequently, people find themselves in need of thousands of pieces of printed materials – be them business cards, flyers, posters, postcards, direct mail marketing materials, brochures or booklets. And then they’re stuck trying to find the answer to this ever more difficult question: “Which frickin’ printing company should I choose?”

Foil Stamped Business Cards with Silk Lamination

It doesn’t matter how high your IQ is. Everyone – smart, dumb, young, and old – likes shiny things. As humans, our eyes just gravitate toward light, and there’s no exception when it comes to business cards that have a little flash.

What Makes a Good Printing Company

There have definitely never been so many options before when it comes to finding a good online printing company. All of them have their specialties, and many of them have their weak spots. But what is it that sets one apart from the others? If you’ve never really worked with a printing company before, or if you’ve always worked with the very same printing company, it can be hard to know what to look for. Having worked in the printing business for years, we feel that we’re qualified to point out the basics as far as what makes a printer worth hiring.

Custom-Printed Bottleneck Hangers – Little-Known Marketing Magic-Makers

Who said you can’t make money by just hanging around? Okay, it’s true, loitering is not the best skill to base a career on, but a different kind of “hanging” can work wonders for certain businesses, and the marketing trend has recently seen an upswing.

The tactic seems pretty simple – and it is – but because of its ingenuity, it gets results more often than one might expect. The on-site marketing method is known as custom-printed bottleneck hangers that advertise sales or discounts on all things beverage and nightlife related.

Foil Flyers

If you’re not in the printing industry, the words “foil flyers” may not mean much to you. But if you’re looking to print a flyer that will stand out in a sea of other printed marketing materials, it’s a good idea to get to know a little bit about foil printing. As their name implies, foil flyers are normal full-color printed flyers that have been enhanced with foil accents. Rather than use harsh chemical metallic inks, many printers have turned to using actual pieces of metal – gold or silver foil – in providing their foil printing services. The choice to forego metallic inks in the foil printing process is not only better for the environment, but also less expensive, as it makes use of materials that are less processed and more accessible than toxic chemical inks.

Print Advertisements to Save Your A$$

We’ve got a lot of entrepreneurs and small business owners in our circle of friends, and so we get to see firsthand the ups and downs they go through with regard to business. From our observations, though, one thing holds steady for all of them. When they try to save money by cutting back on advertising, they do themselves no favors. It’s like a man who is dying of thirst and so dehydrated he can’t make his way out of the desert, and yet he saves his little canteen of water in case he has to put out a fire. That man has got to “spend” those drops of water to get himself to a faucet or a creek. Similarly, struggling businesses need to spend their dwindling funds to attract more customers, thereby replenishing their bank accounts. Yes, it’s a leap of faith, but just think about these wise words spoken by everyone’s favorite American author, Mark Twain:

“Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.”

That said, the “right kind” of advertising is going to vary by your business. But for many, printed advertisements are going to be the most financially accessible and effective tools to reel in new clients. (Don’t get us wrong – television and radio ads are also effective, but production costs are sky-high compared to the small investment needed to create great printed advertising.)

Note Pads

In this digital age, there is something to be said for the simplicity of just jotting something down. The act of writing a “note to self” by hand is somehow more memorable than simply typing another text message into a cell phone or even pasting an event into the calendar attached to your email account. Don’t get us wrong – those things are valuable time-tracking tools. But in our experience, they don’t swallow up the need to write physical notes to oneself. And it’s even better if you can go on to stick said handwritten note to your desk, refrigerator, dashboard, or wherever else you’re likely to see it.
