Clever business card design?

[Josh86]

I saw this clever image of a business card and made me think what clever personal trainer ones we could do?

While on the subject. What do you all recommend having on a business card?

You should have some sort of all/call to action on the back of your card.


Business cards honestly dont do much. By giving your card out, you're putting all the responsibility on that person to call you. chances are the card will end up at the bottom of their handbag or thrown out.

Instead, you want to be getting THEIR business card or contact details. This way you can make sure you speak to them again.

I agree most people may pitch them especially if you try to force it upon them, but if someone out in public finds out you're a personal trainer and wants your contact info I find it more professional to have them ready in your wallet. *shrug* Good points though.

I agree with this, just a means for them to contact you. But usually is just lost or thrown out. No need to go crazy with it, just get a professioanl simple design. And definitely have a call to action on the back. I have 1 free session on the back of mine, seems to work well

i'll try and remember to post mine up here when i'm at home. It's relatively simple...unless you have an overabundance of money then a card like u posted above is not worth it. People have asked for my card more so probably to remember my website address. I've posted some on apt boards around the area and left them at restaurants but never got a call back.

The card above is way more expensive than your normal rectangular card. Save advertisement money for more potentially successful endeavors

What is this 'call to action' you guys speak of?

Mine is a stock design from some website that I customized. It just has a barbell and says 'personal trainer' on one side, then has my pic and contact info on the other side. I like the idea of getting other peoples card/info instead so you can call them instead of relying on them to contact you.

Seems like a waste of money. I'd rather spend my marketing budget other ways.
