			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most business don&#8217;t consider their business cards as a promotion item.  But let&#8217;s face it, it is the very first exposure of your company to your potential clients.   Gone are the common white stock business cards, and in with the creative and colorful business cards.   Take our business card out and take a good look at it, does it make you go &#8220;Wow! That&#8217;s neat!&#8221;</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 470px"><img title="Razard business card" src="http://brandmedy.com/images/cool-bizcards/cutting_edge.jpg" alt="A cutting edge kind of business card" width="460" height="271" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A &#39;cutting edge&#39; kind of business card</p></div>
<p>Spend a little time brainstorming what kind of message are you trying to project to your clients.  A little creativity can last forever, and this is so often overlooked when it comes to business cards.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 470px"><img title="edible business card" src="http://brandmedy.com/images/cool-bizcards/headhunter.jpg" alt="I wonder how this creative business card taste?" width="460" height="247" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I wonder how this creative business card taste?</p></div>
<p>In my business I give out and receive hundreds of business cards every year.  There&#8217;re always a few (not many) that I might not remember the information on it, but I remeber what it looks like and where to look for it when I need it!  If you can get your customers to remeber that little bit of information, then you&#8217;re already ahead of your competitions!</p>
<p>Not sure where to go?  Here&#8217;re a few more examples of business cards that I considered CREATIVE!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 485px"><img class="alignnone" title="Cure for the common promotional products" src="http://brandmedy.com/images/medical_bag2.jpg" alt="" width="475" height="335" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cure for your common promotional products</p></div>
<p>The doctor is in!!  Tell us your symptoms, is it the economic blues?  Back to school fevers?  Halloween chills? or the Hurricane dizziness?  If you  think there&#8217;re no cure for any of these symptoms, you&#8217;re very wrong!!  The cure is everywhere, you just have to use your noggin a little.  You can find a good reason to promote and market you business every month and every season of the year if you just think outside of the box!</p>
<p>Are you client&#8217;s wallet being squeezed by the economic blues?  I think everyone&#8217;s business and their customers are all effected by it, regardless the size of their business.   What would be a better time to let your clients know you feel the same burden and you&#8217;re here to &#8217;save them more money?&#8217;, &#8216;<a title="Good example to promote your message" href="http://brandmedy.com/images/strech.jpg" target="_self">strech their budget</a>&#8216;, &#8216;ease their financial problems&#8217; or simply to let them know that &#8216;you&#8217;re here for them!&#8217;  For a few bucks print up some creative business cards and mail them off with a hand written message, your customers will appricate it more then you think.</p>
<p>What are some cures to help your business through the next few months?  <em>Back to school products</em>, ever seen the credit card booth at the &#8216;back to school orientation&#8217;?  A free shirt or a water bottle can get a student to sign up for potential life-long debts,  imagine what can be achieved with a little more creativity!!</p>
<p><a href="http://brandmedy.com/images/candy.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="Custom Candy" src="http://brandmedy.com/images/candy.jpg" alt="" width="111" height="111" /></a>Halloween is right around the corner,  spend a few bucks and get some nice candy bags and stuff them with some sweet treats.  Let your clients know that your business is &#8216;all treats and no ticks!&#8217;   Make sure you send a message with your sweets, attach a business card message, <a title="custom candy" href="http://brandmedy.com/images/candy.jpg" target="_blank">customize a bag with your logo</a> (if you a little budget to spend) or simply design some good looking stickers and stick them to the bag!  Your customer will most likely leave the treats on their desk to share with their friends and co-works and that means more exposure for your business!</p>
