You have all come up with some clever ideas. I personally will use the meaning of a VA, together with services offered. I think it´s great !!

Thanks

I like the idea of using up the back too. With everyone going "green" I may use something like, "don't throw me away, without using this side first."

These are great ideas. I started out making my own cards and some I put my services on and others I have put down what software I have available to use or what farming programs I could help my clients apply for.

I particularly like the idea of putting my services on the back of the business cards. I'm in the process of getting my cards designed, so the timing is great.

I've always left mine blank, but may be rethinking that idea. Personally, I like the idea of listing services, or in my case, the types of transcripts I do (focus groups, insurance recorded statements, etc.). I took a survey of the women in my Sunday school class (one runs her own business and the another one does marketing for her husband's business). Most of them said that when they receive business cards, they prefer the back to be blank so they can write on it. Has anyone ever heard that before?

I am thinking about putting a referral bonus offer on the back of my cards when I redo them. Something like - Get 2 hours free for referring a client, ask me how.

I'm in the process of making my business card and I received a card from a VA who had her services on the back, and I thought it was a brilliant idea.

These are great ideas....I personally like putting a list of services or the definition of a VA on the back of the card......also like the referral bonus idea as well......so many too chooose from.

Thanks,
Isabel

I was thinking of getting tent/ folded business cards that have a tear away contact form. I like the idea of leaving with a lead in my hand and can follow up with that person with out waiting for first contact from them. It keeps me fresh in their "mind" and builds a nice referral/ network list for me!

Something else I was looking at was the great cards that MOO (moo.com)has. I really like the mini cards. Not to bad on price.

I'm loving all the ideas for the backs of the cards, especially the one's that define the field or specifically geared to the business.

For those that printed cards and want to use the great ideas everyone came up with; use the old cards as magnets or stickers. No harm, no foul!

I like the idea of listing services on the back. Business cards are like greeting cards we naturally turn them over and look on the back.
