A Unique Idea: Starting a Photo Business Card Business
Business Overview:
If you’ve ever gotten a business card and just stuffed it in your pocket never to be seen again, you should look into starting a photo business card business. Imagine if someone gave you a business card with beautiful photographs on it that helped explain the business and piqued your interest? You might not just stick it in your wallet and forget about it. You only have a few seconds to make a first impression and a good looking business card will go a long way in establishing that all important relationship with a potential new client or business contact. The good news is you need no experience and no special equipment. You can operate this online business idea in your spare time with just your computer. But perhaps the greatest feature of this business idea is your clients will come back to you again and again when they run out of cards! Marketing practically takes care of itself since your clients will market your business each and every time they hand out one of their business cards. You will of course need a marketing plan to get going but this can be relatively simple since almost every business person needs business cards. Set up a booth at a small business fair and you should pick up enough business to get started. Once your client list grows and residual orders start coming in, you may have to farm out some work to a small staff to help handle the orders. In no time at all you will be enjoying a successful business that markets itself.
A Day in the Life of a Photo Business Card Business Owner:
In the beginning, your day will begin by marketing your new business. You will research small business fairs and look into setting up a booth to display your business. You may also want to consider setting up a website to capture some online business. Once you have a few customers, you will spend part of your day creating new and exciting photo business cards. You will email proofs of new cards to your customers, get their approval and send the cards out. You will explain your referral and reorder policies to try to bring in new business. If you have a staff working for you, you will assign them certain projects and check in with them periodically. At the end of each day you will review your orders, check progress and record the day’s income.
