Richard, I like the look. One thing I might add (only because this has been the most requested I go that I did not put on ours) is an email address.

Sorry to join the party so late Richard.
I hate the "leading restoration specialist"

Leading who?
What does it do for the client?
It is just meaningless fluff.
A wasted word that does not really add anything. No room for any word that does not add something important to the total effect you want, particularly not in a business card.

Ofer.....leading EVERYONE! :lol:

Ok ok, you know the rules you can't make a critic without giving me the solution! What would you use in it's place. The "Following" restoration specialist? :winky:

I like the use of the QR code, what do you have it link to? Homepage or special offer?
The intent was for the website but Dan wants a plain back and scratched my QR code.

This card I still need to complete, along with the carpet, wood floors, fire & bio-recovery brochures that are just comps right now. I need a few more photo's and some copy writing still......I'm behind..........actually I am a behind! :frown:

Oh well back to work! (insert slave smiley) :biggrin:

Who says that?
Critics do it all the time. As a matter of fact, that's about all they do. :winky:

Jokes aside. It really has to come from your company's credo and whatever the image is that you want to promote.
In my card it says: "meticulous + eco-friendly" I am not saying that that's the best but it promotes what I want. Dave uses "Lincoln most recommended..." trying to promote trust and quality suggested by the claim that others recommending him (not himself as it is recommended by others.)

What is it that you want to promote?
What makes your company special?
What do you want to be associated with your company.
What do you want implied?

The Restoration side is truly what we specialize in, everything else I would say were are much more a generalist. We still do it well but it just doesn't get the focus that restoration does.

Me...ummm well I'm ME.

Ok Ok Special huh......I struggle with this one. Well I'd say we are "committed to providing response service, trained, experienced personnel. (same as everyone else!)

I'd like to project an image of professionalism. (I want to be the Leader :p)

I'd like the prospects to feel confident that we can be the solution to their problems.

Forget about everybody else, they don't matter. As far as you are concerned they do not exist. What does matter is what you can do for the clients that will be special for them. Miller brewing company had a multimillion marketing campaign based on "cold filtered." Well, almost everybody cold filters their beer.

I'd like to project an image of professionalism. (I want to be the Leader :p)
You do that mostly with the professional clean design and a little with text. For example, putting the cel phone code on the front of the bus card, tells them that you use technology and try to make things more readily and easily available. However, at a price. The price being- A big ugly thing on the front of the card, that to begin with has very little space. In my book, the price is too high to pay. It does not look professional- it looks cluttered. Cluttered as opposed to clean and organized. Not a message I would want to project.

I'd like the prospects to feel confident that we can be the solution to their problems.

Now you are talking. Maybe that's what you want. Not a bad idea at all.
The solution to all their problems can be different things to different people (less money, dependable, no hassle, take it off their worry list etc.) But if you can consistently convey that message and in their mind you really are the solution, that would be great. Wouldn't it.?
