Construction and Trade Business Cards

Let your business cards do the heavy lifting when it comes to marketing your construction and trade business. Competition is tough, so make sure you get your construction and trade business cards right the first time. Here are some tips to ensure your cards connect with customers and build business on your behalf.

Use Color
An easy way to stand out of the construction crowd is to have full color business cards. Match your graphics with your trade. Run a bulldozer service? Hang dry wall or manage roofing projects? Make sure your card has some graphic elements that connect to your line of work, such as a bulldozer silhouette. Full color typically cost about the same as black and white, so no need to fear major price differences.

Basics are Best
Keep the information on your card simple and focused. Your business name, your name, your phone, email, and mailing address are all that need to be on the card. Your web address is fine if it is different than your email address, but otherwise it is redundant to put your email and website. A cluttered card is confusing, so stick to the basics.

Over the Top Designs
PrintPlace.com has a number of unique card designs that can make your information jump off the page - literally. Folded business cards are an example of a unique design that is easy to do and presents your information with a lot more pop. These designs also give you room for more information or larger graphics.

Use the Back
Whether you stick with a standard business card or go with a folded business card design, use the back of your card for service details. Here you can list your certifications, accomplishments, special services, website, or anything else you think your customers might like. Saving this information for the back of the card keeps the front clear and uncluttered.
