 How to design business cards? First, you need to understand that a business card is a marketing tool, not just a card to hand out. You can make your business or job-hunting card a strong marketing tool by designing a two-sided card. That’s the most effective business card for both job hunters and small business owners. 

Because the front of your card contains basic information like your name, logo, phone number, e-mail, and website, recipients might not be clear about your offer.

So you can explain that on the back of your business card. Examples would be your logo, mission statement, or one line pithy advertising copy when you’re a small business. For job-hunters, list several one-line bullets that relate to your most outstanding achievements

It’s unwise to put all of this information on the front of your card. You would have to make the font so small, your reader would need to use a magnifying glass to read the text. But when you put some of that info on the back, your card will look better with plenty of white space surrounding the information. 

Business cards are descendants of the old fashioned calling card had a person’s name embossed on the front. Period. A calling card’s purpose was to introduce oneself. The purpose of today’s business cards is to both introduce and market yourself. 

That’s why I said at the beginning of this article that your business or job-finding card needs to be a marketing tool in order for you to stand out. You need to consider a business card as advertising space. That spaced is maximized by using both sides.  that space by using both sides.

Become a freelancer and employ yourself

by Randy Place

You’ll recall last week’s post on Your Career Service about how to become employed — “How the unemployed can become self-employed” – gave ideas about getting customers for your new freelance business. But when you’re busy serving the clients you have, where do you find time to solicit?

I faced this problem after starting a writing/communications business some years ago. When early selling efforts landed my first three clients, I thought it would be easy street from there on in. But after I finished the assignments for those new clients, street came to a dead end street. I was unemployed once more. 

Then I bumped into an acquaintance on the commuter train. A copywriter for Compton Advertising for many years, my friend had left the agency to start his own writing business just as I had. But he had many more clients. When I asked the secret of his marketing success, the former advertising man replied, “I write for my clients at night and solicit new ones during the day.”

I faced a dilemma. While preferring to write early mornings, I learned from my friend the necessity of marketing each day in order to stay in business. So I continued to write each morning and made solicitation calls before lunch each day. The lesson I learned the hard way – even though you’re a freelancer swamped with work, keep on pitching in order to promote your freelance service. 

Freelancers can beat unemployment by pledging to make one call each day before lunch. After a week, you’ll have made five solicitations; and that’s 20 a month or over 220 per year. Your efforts will bring in more work. Guaranteed. 

A dry spell isn’t the result of a dry spell in business. It’s the result of slacking off in your sales role. Remember when you go freelance, you run the show. You’re the CEO, advertising, sales, and accounting departments. 

Your one-man sales department needs to make something happen. Things will happen when you make at least one or two calls every day before lunch.

Now that the unemployment rate in America stands at almost 9%,  this is as good a time as any for Your Career Service to revisit the working world of the freelancer. This is how the unemployed become self-employed. The reason? 

Lots of my job-finding clients, facing long job searches due to fewer jobs and more competition in their work categories, have decided to opt out of the corporate rat race by trying freelance work for awhile.

If you’ve entertained similar thoughts about going the consulting or freelance route, Your Career Service presents five tips for getting started and keeping going –

  1. You need to determine what you’ve got to offer potential clients. That’s the first step. Freelancers most often offer what they now do on the job; they make a freelance business of doing their current jobs for other companies.
  2. When you decide to apply your skills as a freelancer, it’s a temptation to have just one company as a client. That’s a lame idea. Your best bet is to attract a group of core clients. Many freelancers discover most of their business comes from a few to a half dozen good clients with whom they can work on a regular basis. Your business will grow at a steady rate because of the referrals given to you by clients who appreciate your work.
  3. You can get clients for your new freelance business by getting visibility. Join networking groups, social clubs, industry associations, and committees in your church, synagogue, and community. 
  4. After you’ve become a success at getting a few leads, telephone potential clients instead of sending e-mails. It’s a more personal way to introduce yourself. This will be uncomfortable at first for introverts and those with no customer service or selling experience. With practice, however, you’ll almost get to like making solicitation calls. 
  5. The idea is to involve potential clients in conversation. This, to inquire about their needs and how you can help them. Personal contact not only helps you to connect, but it’s an opportunity to research an organization as you converse.
