New Business Cards Designed And Ordered!

Okay, so on my Podcast Answer Man Blog, I shared that I’m am going to be speaking at BlogWorld And New Media Expo the week of May 23rd. This event is quite simply the biggest networking opportunity that I’ve been faced within since launching my business and I’ve been faced with a large number of amazing networking opportunities.

With that said, I’ve decided that this is the perfect time to upgrade my business cards. You see, my business cards that I have today are still sporting a comic avatar from when I was fifty pounds heavier and sporting the old mustache.

I’ve since had a new comic avatar made, which I blogged about here, and so I spent some time creating a new business card that would incorporate this new look. Below is what I came up with.

New Podcast Answer Man Business Cards Cliff Ravenscraft

As you can see, I’ve designed the card to be double sided. On the front, I prominently feature my consulting/coaching work that I do through PodcastAnswerMan.com. I’ve designed the back of the card to introduce folks to what gspn.tv is all about. I knew that some of you would want to try to read the wording from the back of the card, so I’ve embedded the image of the back of the card here.

I finished designing this business card at 2 o’clock this morning. I read through it many times, so I hope that you don’t find any awful typos that can’t simply be overlooked. You see, I need those business cards before I leave for my trip to NYC and I just ordered a box of 1,000 cards from OverNightPrints.com (Affiliate Link). They should be delivered this Wednesday.

So what do you think?

I like it. However it does violate what I consider to be a good recommendation from Chris Brogan and Julien Smith in their book "Trust Agents". They recommend leaving the back blank for notes.

Yeah, I've heard that recommendation before. Though, I definitely wanted to be able to promote both brands with a single card. And since they are so closely related, it works.

Thanks for the feedback Hank!

Good Catch! I hope most won't even notice that I did that one. :) I'm not sure how the back will look until they come in.. We'll see. They will be good enough for taking to NYC at least.

Thanks for catching that! If I do re-order with keeping the story on the back, I'll be sure to correct the typo. ;)

In my first post I already should have mentioned that I like the look of it. Good job. Corporate design and all that jazz.

One tiny thing though which might be nothing since I am not that familiar with the American grammar. In German you wouldn't need another comma after "consultant" in the job listing on the front side of the card since it's followed by an "&". Again, nothing major, just some improvement for the next batch (that is, if it is a mistake at all).

Cheerio.
