Remember that the address of your business is only important if people actually come to your place of business.

For example, I like to order special-made cheesecakes that you can't find in any stores. (I do this because I like to tell my guests that I make them myself). I order from two different chefs who specialize in this type of product and I have both of their information on the cards that they gave to me. I've actually got both contact cards on my refrigerator at work as they provided me with business card magnets.

Both of them chose full color business cards. One chef has a picture of herself on the card while the other chef has a picture of one of her cheesecakes covered in raspberry sauce on her cards. Even though both chefs make equally delicious cheesecakes, I tend to order from the chef whose card includes the tempting picture of the cheesecake.

When you decide to make the jump from plain black and white to full color business cards, consider the message you want to convey. If you're selling cheesecake, use a picture of a sample cheesecake. This helps your customers to quickly find your card because it stands out and it reflects exactly what the client is seeking.

Remember that great idea used by many medical, dental, real estate professionals and my cheesecake resources, the full color business card magnets. It's an inexpensive way to get a place on customers refrigerators. By using a full color bleed cards as magnets, you keep your message on target and in front of your customers. This is a very cheap way to get maximum benefits from your advertising dollars.
