why not let the card speak for your business?

-
My uncle M had been singing in different bars and hotels ever since I was about six or seven years old. He does not only sing - he plays the guitar, the piano and he makes the audience laugh with his jokes and antics. Today, I heard he would also add some "magic" tricks to please his audience, a new talent he had learned from the Internet. When he was here, he took the time to have a really good photo of him taken. I can still remember his very first business card - he had used the beautiful view of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol as the background and he was sitting on a chair with the guitar on his lap. Well, that was like nine or ten years ago then... The card had his name with the title "Multitalented Artist" and contact details. With the use of business cards, he was able to manage his own career and he had a lot of bookings.

Today, you can easily have custom business cards online to speak for your business. If you want your businesses to stand out, it is not enough to have quality products or services to offer. It is not enough that there is advertising through word of mouth. You also have to make sure that more people know that your business exists; otherwise, it won't matter if you have better products or services to offer than anyone else. For this reason, business advertising and promotion is really important. This is why you have to see to it that you have business cards laying around your purse or wallet so that you can easily hand one out whenever you would bump into anyone you consider as potential customers for the business. As they always say, you will never know who you will run into.

    I can vouch for the business cards! I use mine to promote my photo biz. ;)

    I love your uncle's long hair---he totally looks like a musician! He's rockin' that Bohemian look right there. ;)

    Yes, business cards speak for themselves and promote our own businesses. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.

that's my dad

I am not sure if I have mentioned in any of my posts that my father is a professional mechanical engineer and that he works at a sugar milling company. Career-wise, he actually had humble beginnings where he started from a mere rank and file employee who works hands-on with bearings,  vise accessories and other industrial supplies and equipment that I am not familiar with, until he got promoted to a supervisory position. Today, even when he is already past the age of retirement, he is still working, although now I heard he is already holding a consultancy position (sort of). I am proud of my dad's achievements especially that I am aware that he worked really hard to earn his title. He's not from a well-to-do family; so, he had to work his way to get to college. I remembered even when he already got promoted in supervisory level, he's still willing to do manual labor if he deemed it necessary. He also has a lot of friends at work and this is because he didn't forge...
