Glad I could open your eyes to the design world a bit, Dave.

We have found that rounded corners have become increasingly more common recently. We just loved the cards with only 2 rounded corners, it just finished them off so nicely. It was actually inspired by the card of the guy we deal with at Media Works.

P.S. As you can see I experimented a bit more with breaking up the text using images and quote tags. What do you think?

Thanks Ian! Good point, I was considering adding that point but some people like to create really unique cards which are different shapes and sizes. Although I discourage it, it can actually be quite effective if used correctly.

Great post, I would add the cards should be the standard South African size which is 50mm x 90mm or smaller, as the business card holders are designed for that size and bigger cards get thrown away.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for commenting!
We do have a website but it is undergoing major renovations at the moment. I'll be sure to let everybody know once it's up and running.

We have found that our major problem is getting the business in the first place (especially in such a saturated market.) Once we have the client they are usually more than happy with our service and tend to keep using us. I think the different nature of our products might also be a contributing factor to our different views on the subject.

Glad to hear you know what your USP is and that your business seems to be doing well.

I could not find the link to a website, I assume you do have one.
I have found that customers you gain on price you will lose on price so I hope the low price strategy works for you.
My USP is adding unique products and one of the most successful is the Kwikfolder. Now the short run die cutting has also taken off.

Thanks for commenting and subscribing Neville!

I have had first hand experience with you and your USP is most certainly a good one!

I did take a quick glance at it when you first announced it. You'll notice I took a bit more of an in depth look now. I do wish you had started blogging here on TFSA, though. It would make a nice convenient addition to my daily TFSA visit.

Thanks for this Mark - I have subscribed to your blog and look forward to your future blogs.

I can certainly relate to what you are saying, as that is exactly what I am endevouring to do with my consultancy, i.e. to stand out amongst all the other consultants in my field. My USP is to be able to consult remotely with any of my clients, wherever I may be in the world, and wherever my clients may be situated. It's convenience for both parties.
