Title: Business Card
Post by: GordTopps on November 12, 2009, 10:50:18 AM: I am making a business card up to advertise my machining hobby.

I will be visiting car/scooter mechanics offering a service to make new parts currently unavailable or awaiting long delivery times etc. (you know the kind of things I mean).

I plan to offer a service to machine/design prototype parts.

If anyone has any catchy slogans/words of wisdom/etc to put on the business card I would be interested.

Look forward to any ideas, however whacky! :bugeye:

I am located in Spain and speak good conversational Spanish but limited to the technical idiom. The card will be mainly in English but I can incorporate both languages if necessary.

Thanks in advance. :beer:

Here is the approximate text of a joke business card I put together for work:

Weston C, Bye

A sufficient level of technology is indistinguishable from magic
Amazing Concepts - Ingenious Ideas - Astronomical Observations
Profound Thoughts - Magnificant Mechanism - Elegant Devices
-illiterates astonished at no extra cost-
Miracles performed daily at:(company name and address here)

Even the president of the company was amused.

Was my card when I was doing business. it is the size of a 3x5" index card, I also had them in 5x7" and 8x10" Being a clown and in the prop business it was easier to get away with stuff. What has amazed me, is that people with businesses that have my cards still have them were other people can see them. And that 10 years after buying a couple item, a large foam rubber sledge hammer and a number of foam bricks. When I go into his store he introduces me to what ever customers he has in the place and an 8x10" card he has framed behind the counter. Must be something to do with knowing a star :bugeye: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The blacked out line are to protect the parties that now have the Post office box, and phone number, and since this is on the web any other innocent parties!
