Sustainable Skills: Carpenter’s Business Card

No matter how far we come in this techno-paranoid world we will always require the services of the guild workers. The modern carpenter has a number of specialties from large real estate construction to antique furniture restoration. The carpenter’s business card should be focused, informative and professional.

Depending on what end of the carpentry market you work for, your business card should be appropriate in the use of images and clipart. If you work for a larger organization, the profile picture always works well. Be sure to choose a smiling confident image of yourself. Think about the clothes you wear in the picture as they are important in setting the tone for your carpentry business card.

Choose card stock and textures that reflect your business for your carpenter’s business card. A heavier card stock and perhaps a grainy or linen finish will help invoke the spirit of working with wood to your potential clients. Browns, creams, blues and greens all work well for background colors for a carpentry business.

Avoid over glitzing or glamorizing your carpentry business card. The world of the carpenter is about serious attention to detail and proficiency in a craft. Personality is great but not necessarily appropriate for a craftsman’s business card. Think friendly but professional, easy going but hardworking and make your business card sell your carpentry services.

Distribute the carpenter’s business card to clients and potential clients as well as vendors, suppliers and queries. A business card is advertising people keep and the still the best way to keep you in mind and in a sustainable business. We will always need carpenters. The right business card can make you the specific carpenter people want.
