Printed Business Cards

Communities across the nation are home to branches of the Red Hat Society. The organization is a social group of older women who come together to socialize, raise money for charity or host events in celebration of their age.

Red and purple must feature prominently in the color scheme or design of the Red Hat Society business card.  A red hat clipart with a purple bow is the most common design. Although a red card with black writing and a little metallic purple embossing is a choice too. Choose a design and layout that best reflects your particular groups aesthetic.

Include contact information on the card. If the society does not have an established, mailing address or geographical address, determine which member’s information should appear on the card. Often in smaller communities, the chairman or vice chairman of the society lends their postal box address to the card as well as their cell phone number. Treat the card like any other business card and make sure it is useful and not just creative.

Consider a little metallic foiling to give your Red Hat Society business card an extra level of sparkle. Foiling can be used in the lettering of the group’s name or as a part of the logo or clip art.  A metallic foil red hat would certainly catch people’s attention.

Use the back side of the business card to share established meeting times or impart rules to new members. If there is a code of conduct or general sentiment carried by the group, placing it on the reverse side of the Red Hat Society business card will make the card must useful.

Think about purchasing a number of magnet style business cards for your Red Hat Society. These are durable and colorful and can be kept as mementoes or distributed to new members in a gift bag or welcome package. Give one to each local business to display prominently.

Distribute Red Hat Society business cards to potential members, at community centers and senior centers, the tourist information board as well as the town hall and established fraternal organizations. Letting new members of the community as well as established members know of your existence is a great way to boost membership and increase fun.
