Trying to start a business. What do you think?

I am trying to start a photography business. Below is my design for the business card. I could get 250 printed for about $25, or another place will do $1000 cads for $50( I don't want that many though. lol).

I think I want to change the font of the business name (just on the card) to something more modern, to match what's on my site.


This is my website. It still needs some work. The pictures on my 'gallery' page, will each become links to stuff I've done. Plus my little business saying about how 'we will care for you, etc' sounds pretty cheesy...

I'm gonna go with better to many than to few. Never know, it may take off quickly and you'll be glad you got that many. Just my 2cents worth.

 

this is nice... what do you plan on focusing on for your photography?

Are you selling printed photos or are your taking professionally for people?

 

I had a small construction co. in Pittsburgh before I moved out to AZ 3 mos. ago and seriously, business cards were my best friend. IMO I would order atleast 1000 to start out specially because you're just starting your business. You will want to pass out as many as you can to get your name and there and look for clientel. Post them in your local community, billboards ect. Business cards are a great marketing tool and you never want to run out of them. Good luck

p.s. check overnightprints.com I used to order mine from them.

 

Well I would like to sell prints of my work, but portrait photography is the big one around here. I'd have to do it outdoors, as I do not have a space for it in my house...which should be fine.

Portraits would be just to make money, while macro photography and other stuff is part I really like. I wish there was money in that side.

 

Thanks peoples. I guess Ill go with the 1000. Or maybe 500 if I can get that for $25 still.

Will they do custom prints?

 

I do like your biz cards and website looks good also! Just a tip though, when you click on "about" and "services" from the top menu of your homepage, the font is too small for most people to read it. Maybe make it a bit larger! Looks good though, nice work Seano

 

Yes, if I remeber correctly, overnightprints allows to upload your custom design.

 

Fixed.

 

How exciting!! I hope your business does well and you enjoy every minute of it!
