Business cards are a great way to advertise your business and an easy way to swap contact details, especially with potential customers. Although social media now allows us to find almost every business online, business cards are still an effective, on the spot marketing tool and if done well, can give a lasting first impression of your business.
Almost every time I pull out my business cards, I get asked “Who did your cards?” or “How can I get mine done?” and I am always so happy to share that they were done by two good friends of mine. The logo was designed by Kevin Parke and the cards were printed by Mark Forrester.
If you were following Islepreneur from the get go, you will know that I switched logos recently. The first one was designed by me, but I outgrew it and needed something a bit more modern and attractive with more colour, but not overdone.
I contacted Kevin Parke, creative genius and independent graphic designer, explained what I wanted and he went to work. He did a fantastic job with my new logo and I totally loved it! Parting from my old logo was tough, but I was able to let go. Eventually. It was part of the first phase of Islepreneur, so there was some emotional connections.
My cards were printed by Mark Forrester, owner and CEO of Corporate Solutions – Print • Graphics • Web. Corporate Solutions – Print • Graphics • Web, as the name suggests, provides branding material and packages for businesses. Printed material includes calendars, flyers, brochures, postcards and pens. They also provide high quality graphics and web designs to reflect your brand message. Believe me, you will not be disappointed.
I was very impressed with Corporate Solutions. Mark is very professional and listens well and can certainly sort you out even if you’re not sure about what you’re looking for. I did have a design for my cards, but due to some issues I was having, we could not access it, so he gave me some options. I settled on a double-sided print card on matte stock.
The cards took just about two weeks before I received them and did I tell you how much I was impressed with the quality? I was very happy with the finish. The cards are clean, smooth and the print is crisp. The colours are sharp and match the design.
I also love that the logo, my name and icons are lifted and glossy on one side which added some character and class to the card.
I highly recommend Corporate Solutions – Print • Graphics • Web for your branding needs.
