BUSINESS CARDS
Business cards are your shop’s OPEN sign flashing 24/7. Business cards are the perpetual handshake every time a customer pulls one out of their wallet or purse. Business cards are your way to stay in the hands of your customers when they aren’t in your shop. And business cards are one of the most efficient and low-cost means of branding your business in a mobile and consistent way.
Motorhead Marketing can design and implement the use of your custom logo and contact information for use on business cards for some or all of your employees. Here are just a few powerful networking and advertising techniques utilizing the simple and underestimated business card:
Make a habit out of carrying business cards with you, wherever you go. You never know who you will run into and where. A quick trip to the store for milk might mean running into someone you haven’t seen in a while. A handshake and a business card mean a connection and a possible customer or referral.
When you give one of your business cards, ask for one in return. Not only is it polite, it’s free networking and a perfect opportunity to build your list of contacts.
Send a business card in all of your correspondence with a personal note jotted on the back. Don’t be shy.
Give friends and family members a small stack to hand out and be willing to do the same for them.
Ask local merchants if you can leave a small stack with the owner or manager and offer to send people to their business in return.
Motorhead Marketing cannot only design your company logo and business cards; it can help you help your business all day, every day.

LETTERHEAD
Custom, professional letterhead is the business equivalent to the Honor Roll in school. The best businesses utilize branded letterhead in all of their correspondence and the ones that do not use letterhead look like amateurs, no matter how good a shop they have.
Letterhead is a sophisticated, professional means of advertising every time you drop a letter in the mail. Motorhead Marketing can design and customize your shop’s letterhead from the initial logo creation down to the heft and color of the paper it’s printed on. Matching branded envelopes complete the ensemble for a polished appearance to all of your written communications.
Here are some tips when writing business letters on your custom letterhead:
- Type it and print it on a quality printer. Unless you are sending off a quick note, a typed letter is easier to read and has a more uniform, refined appearance.
- Use your word processing software’s Spell-Check function. It’s one click and a swift scan that can save you from possibly embarrassing typos.
- After you have printed your document, sign your name with a blue or black pen. No one wants to think they are receiving a form letter, even if they are.
Motorhead Marketing knows the value of branded products like letterhead and it knows just how important a consistent and professional tone is in all aspects of your business.

ENVELOPES
A seemingly simple thing, the envelope. But ask yourself this: when you grab the mail from the mailbox and do a quick visual scan of the day’s mail, which envelopes do you toss on the counter and which envelopes do you open immediately? Motorhead Marketing can make your custom branded business envelopes the first ones your customers open when they get the mail.
Business envelopes are the proverbial knock on your customer’s door when they arrive in the mail. They are the first impression and will determine if your correspondence ends up in a basket on the counter or in the hands of current and potential customers. Much like your custom letterhead, your custom business envelopes speak volumes about the polish and professionalism of your shop.
Your business envelopes and letterhead should match, like gloves, in color, feel, weight, and print. Motorhead Marketing can make this happen by working with you to choose the perfect paper stock, print styles, and color schemes for your envelopes and letterhead.
It’s true that you only get one first impression, but remember that every element of your business –envelopes, letterhead, business cards, fax cover sheets—count as individual ways to impress!

INVOICES
It goes without saying that invoices are an integral element of any profitable business. When you receive or process invoices, which ones make it to the top of the to-pay pile? Do you look at a professionally printed and easily read invoice in the same way that you look at a carbon-smeared, scribbled slip of paper? Neither do your customers and business associates.
Motorhead Marketing can design an easy-to-use template with all of your contact information, invoicing data, and branded logo for convenient use and attractive business purposes. A seamless and professional and readable invoice means less hassle with verifying information, fewer hours searching through piles and files for that an invoice.
