Business cards are an essential piece of business stationery for the following reasons:

• They eliminate the need to find a handy piece of paper, and an obliging pen to jot down your contact details for whomever you’re talking to
• They also eliminate the need to fumble with your phone, and accidentally save the incorrect information if you are in a rush
• They carry more than just your contact details, and can also provide a description of your services, allowing potential clients to see how they can utilize your services in future
• Having a great business card, allows your clients to ‘read between the lines’ (not literally), because if you have a really great business card, designed by a professional graphic designer, using a good quality stock with the appropriate finishes, it leaves the best possible first impression with someone each time that they look at it.
• Remember, business cards are not just for the professional business person, but also a handy way for moms to exchange information at school to easily organise playdates!

There’s an old saying that The Shoemakers kids go barefeet…and that’s largely true I suppose, considering that I’ve intended to finish this blog redesign/revamp/extreme makeover for the longest time.

But if the distraction that keeps me from it is real work, and a deluge of new and valued clients, then all I can say is that it’s fantastic, and universe, please keep it coming!

For now I’m going to continue with the rollout of pages and list of services etc, and will set up a regular blogging schedule soon.
