Create business cards that leave a lasting impression

Premium quality business cards with painted edges

Over the last year we’ve attended quite a few trade shows and events…along the way, trading business cards with quite a few people.  Without fail, each time someone receives a Brand Spirit card, they comment on how unique they are and would like to know where we got them.  The intrigue that these cards created speaks to the fact that businesses have an easy opportunity to leave a lasting impression with something as relatively simple as a business card.

The quality of the cards you choose,  along with the time and effort that goes into designing a noteworthy card is definitely worth it’s weight in branding gold.

For our business cards, we used a company called PremiumCards.net.  We went with the silk cards which turned out to be even cooler than we had initially anticipated.  The best way to describe the “silk” part is that it is a silky smooth coating that allows the fingers to glide over the cards, leaving a nice feeling on the fingertips.  This coating also inadvertently creates a waterproof shield, yet one can still easily write a handwritten note on the card if needed.  These silk cards are created using a heavy 16pt card stock, which also helps to give them a high-quality feel.  Last but not least, we went with the painted edges.  This extra little detail really catapulted the design off to another level.  Since the card stock is thick, the colored edges really pop.

For some business card design inspiration, check out the business card gallery which showcases some of the coolest business card designs from PremiumCards.net customers.

Vintage Leather Coasters with contrast stitching (custom branded) – as low as $1.75 each. Click image for product info.

Marketers really can’t beat these promotional leather coasters when it comes to elegance and affordability.  The look and feel of the leather instantly oozes quality while the contrast stitching around the edges adds a unique detail.  And to top it off, your logo is debossed onto the coaster, adding that extra touch of classiness to the overall impression that is made.

These vintage leather coasters are excellent gifts and giveways for just about any type of company.  We recently worked on a project with a contracting company that that used these as client gifts.  However, these are also perfect promotional marketing pieces for just about any type of business including: food & beverage, financial & banking companies, manufacturers, professional services, design firms, accounting firms and much more.

In a previous post, we mentioned how coasters make great direct mail pieces since they are flat and don’t weight that much.  Depending on the style you choose, they can also be quite cost effective.

Whether choosing the the brown, red or black version of these coasters, you are sure to make an elegant, long-lasting impression.  Most recipients never toss a nice coaster thus giving your brand the chance to make daily brand impressions on the recipient’s desktop or coffee table.
