Just a thought any of you guys have your business cards printed on both sides
for example windshield repair on one side and headlight restore on the other side.
I know some would have it all printed on one side it would be cheaper but it would make it too busy on that one side.
I know it would cost more but to me it would seem cool to have one card with each business on the same card.
So guys what ya thoughts on this?

Mine are printed on both sides.

The opposite side has before and after pictures and a message about the free windshield repair if they have full coverage.

A card is so small that printing on both sides is a good option to get more of your message across.

Before I had my business cards done I had the same dilemma on the design & layout. I decided to go with before & after HLR and rock chip pics on one side and logo/contact info on the opposite. It doesn't cost all that much to get the other side done as well - I got 5000 full-color two-sided cards for a very good price! The more you buy - the better!

Here is a free preview of our current business cards and the actual form is in my "Essential Business Tools Marketing Package" and many others if anyone is interested. This post is an old post that I dug up. Hope it helps.

Based on my efforts to wear all hats at this point with my business, I did a little research and here is what I designed based on the Ogilvy ad layout formula.(mini ad layout). Now there are different schools of thought for cards so go with what works. Just depends on what your needs are. I felt for windshield repair to keep it simple and attractive but informative on the front and educational on the back.

Look at: http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/pagel...zcard_info.htm for ideas.

I bought 10,000 cards from vista print, 100# premium stock, full color front and back and had them in like five days. $267.35 shipped. I am very pleased.

Hopefully the cards uploaded.

The images of Brian's cards are too small to see clearly.
