Printed Business Cards

We all need and appreciate the IT folks. Their special skills have saved many a document, program and computer. For those in the technology field, business is usually booming but this also means competition in some areas may be stiff. Create custom IT focused business cards to keep your name on the lips of all firms and office workers who are unaware of how to fix their multiple user errors.

Information technology encompasses a wide range of services and skills. Be sure not to lead blissfully uninformed clients in the wrong direction by not clearly communicating your skill set. Before designing your card, jot down your main skill areas and use this to focus your business card choices.

Choose images very carefully on tech support business cards. If you don’t fix office computers, avoid placing a computer image on your business card. If you design websites but don’t develop software of fix hard drives, avoid anything that doesn’t say writing and design. And of course, if your main skill is fixing computers be sure to place the image of a desktop on the card.

When it comes to what information to include, be sure to mention all forms of communication and not just web based contact information. It’s easy for those that communicate mainly through e-mails and online chats that not everyone is so inclined. Include a land line or at least a cellular phone number on your business card. A physical address will help convey your professionalism and legitimacy.

Remember to buy your business cards in bulk because everyone needs an IT guru to hand. Consider magnetic cards for returning clients. This way they can keep your number on their filing cabinet so you are easy to reach in a technological emergency. Fold over cards are a great way to include a coupon for your services. IT can get expensive. Being the only tech geek to offer a discount means more repeat business.
