Business cards ???
i just write me mobile on the back of an envelope after I've finished the job........oh & a false name....
oh & maybe switch a few of the numbers around :-[
:'(
 
I normally hand out just the one. I get my cards laminated with a calendar on the back so people tend to keep them hanging around longer. More expensive but worth it. Also, my cards are scattered everywhere, shop windows chinese/I****n takeaways. Anywhere that'll take them.

I love this gimmick, i do this too. ;)
I work out the price + 10% then tell the old biddy the price, then i take off 10% and your right they love it ;D


I actually learnt this from watching some pikey on rogue traders

Yeah but you should always be able to write on them as well not doing that is leaving money on teh table in my opinion

I hear you Danny but i don't really write on them. To my mind, cards should be simple but different from the usual. Some of my customers have even commented on the cards.
