CHEAP BUSINESS CARDS WITH A WOW FACTOR

Everybody needs business cards. Full color business cards can be one of the most effective sales and marketing tool you have. They can be the wedge to separate you from your competitors.
With state of the art printing, you can print cheap business cards and add the Wow Factor to help brand yourself from your competition without breaking the bank. It is amazing how many entrepreneurs and small business people could benefit from a new, inexpensive business card but don't. New business cards can revitalize you and give you reason to feel good about going after new business.


WHAT IS A CHEAP BUSINESS CARD??
You can go online and find full color business cards for as low as $9.95 for 100. They are generally printed on color copiers using thin 10 or 12 Pt card stock with no coating. Sure, they will get your name and company out there and you will be saving some money in the process. But what kind of first impression are they making about you and your company? You only get one opportunity to make a good first impression and that’s the one that sticks.


Wouldn’t you be wiser to spend about $25 for 100 cards? I’m sure the extra cost will not break the bank. But what are you getting for this extra cost? You can get a card printed on heavier 14 point quality card stock that feels good to the touch and has a UV coated finish. These cards look and feel great and indicate to the receiver that you care about quality. Isn’t this what you want to represent you and your business? If you can use 1000 or more cards for under $100 dollars, you can even get them printed on heavy 16 point card stock at no additional cost and have UV or aqueous matte coating on them.


When you use a high quality full color business card printed on quality card stock that’s finished with a UV or matte coating, you can look forward to the opportunity of handing out your card and impressing the receiver. Chances are you will get a positive reaction like “nice card”. How much is that worth? I’m sure, most of us agree that it’s just basic business common sense to show you understand quality.


If you agree that quality and value are more important than just the lowest price, then why not go to the next level...The WOW Factor!!. Stand out from the crowd. The Wow Factor is the tool that helps assure that you will get noticed. Using the new affordable printing technologies (offered by a very few online printers), you can create a very important first lasting impression- one that makes you remembered. It is now possible to add a spot UV coating to selected areas of your business card creating a combination glossy / matte look or high / low finish. Or you can print your full color card with a silver foil or gold foil. Other ways to add that important WOW factor is to use colored foils or 3D/ 4D lenticular effects.  Just a short time ago these techniques were impossible or the cost was way over most budgets. It is now very affordable as new printing technologies become available.

As with many new technologies that produce successful results (and these do), it’s just a matter of time before they become routine. Now is the time to take advantage of these new and uncommon looks and add the Wow Factor appeal to your business cards. Using these new techniques can help separate you from your competition. Why not try them on your next printing job and see the results for yourself!

HOW TO FIND THE BEST ONLINE FULL COLOR PRINTING SERVICE

You can save quite a lot of money buying your companies advertising, sales and marketing literature online. By combining your job with other common jobs and sharing the cost of a gang run you only pay for the amount of real estate on the press you use. This benefits you but be sure you are getting quality as well as price.

There are over 3 million printer sites on the internet. They are all fighting for your business. Some are excellent and some are scams and thieves. Most are average and will get the job done. Even if you narrow down your search and google on one of the most popular search terms “cheap business cards”, you will find over 700,000 responses. Finding the best one for your need can be a challenge.

When you have an important deadline for a trade show or need to send out cards or flyers for a direct marketing campaign, your reputation is at stake. Here are some tips that may help you become a hero by getting the biggest bang for your buck- quality as well as price.

Of course, every search term has the pay per click ads at the top and along the side of the page. The companies with the top positions in the paid areas are not always the best deal. Positioning on these pages are determined by auction. The company that pays the most gets the best spots. These positions have nothing to do with quality or service. They merely represent the companies with the biggest budgets for that spot at that time of day, week or month. Every few minutes or hours they move around and change positions until their daily budgets run out.

Most experienced search engine users prefer using the organic listed sites directly below the sponsored area. To get and maintain good organic positioning, these companies have to work really hard over a long period of time and that’s a plus but it’s no guarantee that they are the best value. You need to also be aware that some of these companies are the same site under multiple names. When you click on these sites, they all look and work the same and their pricing is the same too. The only change is their name and logo on the top. You may think you made a better choice by choosing one over the other and that’s their strategy. They are just clones trying to keep the individual quality cheaper printer from getting discovered.

Most of us are suckers for the lowest prince. But the lowest price is often not the best value. For example, when you order the house wine in most restaurants it’s generally the cheapest. The truth is the restaurant makes the most profit from the house wine. For some people who are looking only for the cheapest price and don’t care about quality and value, this is just fine. They got what they paid for. Would you order it if you were entertaining an important client you wanted to impress? Probably not. Be sure to look for that commercial printer who offers quality, service and price.

LENTICULAR CARDS ARE THE MOST UNIQUE AND EFFECTIVE PROMOTIONAL PRODUCT

-->

Lenticular cards such as business cards and postcards from Color Printing Pros are very effective promotional products. Research has shown that 3D and 4D pictures attract more attention 6.5 times more than ordinary flat pictures. People will stop and examine these objects for a long time. Many will save them as souvenirs to show others. Rarely are they thrown in trash like ordinary cards. Isn’t that what you want? This increased interest is more effective marketing than ordinary cards.

Lenticular cards are a new product that offers you dimensional print to deliver twice the message in the same print. This card is a Lenticular product that allows you to have two or three different pictures in one. You take your images and create a swapping effect, each image vanishing and then reappearing from one to another as you move it up and down. There is a backing that can also be printed in normal 4 color process. Total thickness with both plastic LenTek viewer and backing is 21pt.  Only the front side will have the lenticular effect. Your images will transition from one to another as you move the card up and down. Right now these cards have only a vertical transition or flip. Need information as to how to create a lenticular card, there is a help page for you.

Consumers are bombarded with marketing messages every single day. From the often annoying ads that they see on TV to billboards on the side of the road to the banner ads that are present on virtually every website, consumers are constantly being told to buy, buy, buy. As a result of this constant bombardment, consumers have to filter many of these messages to avoid being overloaded. Because they filter many marketing messages, companies that rely on generic marketing approaches are not going to be able to effectively reach consumers.

In order to bypass consumers' marketing filter, your marketing needs to get their attention. By taking a unique approach that grabs their attention, they will turn off their filter and actually absorb what you have to say to them. The best way to get this crucial marketing edge is to set yourself apart with WOW factor effects. By using WOW factor effects like a lenticular 3D card, you can rise above your competitors and grab the attention of your potential customers.

COLOR PRINTING WITH A WOW FACTOR

When thinking of ways to draw customers to your business, it’s worth bearing in mind that you will almost definitely have some kind of competition for their attention. It is very important to give the best first impression possible, in order to rise above your competitors and show that you are indeed the best choice.


Having a Wow Factor is something that will help your business to stand out from the competitors; when customers can see the care and attention that you have put into creating your business cards, flyers and other advertising and marketing literature, they will be far more likely to consider using your company over the others.


Striking artwork is, of course, essential to this. You need to come up with a design that is relevant, simple, eye-catching and balanced. It has to really work. Think about what kind of image you want to portray – Classy? Vibrant? Energetic? Professional? Your logo and the design of your printed products will be what people remember when deliberating what company they should be going with.

As we have mentioned time and again, first impressions mean everything. If you don’t feel you can come up with something inspiring yourself, it’s worth commissioning an experienced professional graphic designer to get you the look needed. The additional cost can be well worth it if it increases your conversion rate.


And once you have chosen your logo and branding design for your printed products, it is time to think about your choices with regards to full color printing. At Color Printing Pros, there is a large range of color printing ideas and services that will add that Wow Factor you are seeking.

In addition to this, you can choose to have the 14 pt and 16 pt card stock finished in a dull matte effect. This reflects less light and gives your printed card products an elegant look and feel.


Spot UV Coating is a fantastic way of drawing your prospective customers eye to the design that you or your chosen artist took so much time and effort into creating. The sharp, glossy contrast between your design and the more matte finish of the main body of the printed product draws your eye into your message and gives it a real premium look.


Gold or Silver Foil or our special EveryColor Foil can also give your full color printing jobs that Wow Factor you are looking for. Color Printing Pros offers you a easy method of creating the full range of CMYK colors with a light reflecting metallic foil finish. This new unique first class printing effect is guaranteed to make your business cards stand out and get noticed at a price that will give you true competitive advantage.
