Let's suppose that you are the owner or president of one of the greatest companies in the world. You wouldn't settle for just any business card when it comes to presenting yourself to others, would you? I didn't think so. When it comes to business cards there are many options to choose from. On the low end there are plain old black and white business cards which are great for people on a tight budget or others who may be just starting up in the business world. These cards are typically non-flattering and usually only contain basic info such as company name, the representative's name, the address and phone and fax numbers for the company; All important criteria for any business card regardless of price or features. At the next level, business cards get a little fancier. They may feature such extras as raised print, full color graphics and specially textured card stocks. These cards are great for people who really want to make an impression. They have probably been in business for a while and can afford to upgrade to a fancier, more impressive business card. They are reasonably successful in business and their business card reflects that success. But for the ultimate in business cards you will want a top of the line product. So what exactly is top of the line you say? Well, let's think about what a top of the line product says about you and your business. What impression do others get when they see a golden Rolex watch on your wrist? They immediately think (right or wrong) that you are rich and successful. Many a wife has been snagged with this form of advertising. If you are a high rolling hot shot in the business world (or at least want to be perceived that way), then gold business cards are for you. That's right, I said gold! I'm not talking about gold flaked paper stock; I'm talking real gold plated cards. The actual card base is aluminum and surrounding that is a remarkable coating of gold plating! Imagine the looks and compliments you will receive when you present these gems to your clientele and peers. No one is going to just casually pocket these cards without taking notice. You and your business will be instantly burned into their memories and when the time comes that they are in need of your services, you will likely be the first one's that they think to call. Some people might even keep your card in plain view on their desktops as a conversation starter with their friends. Another benefit to gold plated business cards is that they are pretty much indestructible. They won't get worn out in someone's pocket, even if they end up going through a wash cycle in the laundry. What about the price you say? Well actually, they aren't as expensive as you might think. Compared with other fancy paper cards, they can be had for about twice the price. And if you go out of business, you can always melt them down and cash in. |
