Handyman business cards say a lot about the company that any new customer is preparing to do business with. Think about it for a second, would you want to enter into a legally binding contract with someone who cares so little about their business that they don’t even expend enough effort to have a professional handyman business card?

I personally will not do business with any company that I feel may not be around for the long haul, which will leave me with no recourse should the services rendered fail to be satisfactory in the future.

The typical business card handyman will carry should include pertinent information such as their phone number, business address, license information as well as a few other tidbits of information like a few of their offered services. Many beginning Handymen believe that it is necessary to stuff as much information as possible all over the business card and slather the entire card in multiple colors.

My own research has proven this to not be an effective handyman business card template.

Free handyman business cards templates and low cost handyman business card samples are available everywhere on the internet. Anyone who is in the Handyman business, or who is considering this occupation as a career has surely poked around looking for handyman business card ideas.

If you have grown tired of looking for the perfect handyman business card template, then you are not alone. I am a handyman in Jacksonville Florida, and I have tried to create my own handyman business cards templates in the past but there was always something that was simply beyond me in the designing of my own cards.

Many times the printer will not cooperate with the margins, leaving unnecessary white space around the edge or over run onto the next card. Another issue I have encountered is the high cost of printer ink, while I have a very nice cannon picture quality printer, the inks does not seem to go far when printing loads of free handyman business cards.

When you consider the cost of the card stock, printer ink, software used to design business cards and time used in trying to design them yourself, they really cannot be considered “free” even if you DIY.

Once all this is tallied up you can easily see that these homemade handyman business cards will not hold a candle to a professionally designed and printed one. When giving out your new cards, you want to have the utmost confidence that YOUR cards are indicative of the quality work that your company will be performing.

In closing, please bear in mind that business cards handyman carries are a direct extension of your company image and you should not skimp on such a crucial piece of the marketing pie. While it may be tempting to use any of the standard handyman business cards examples that are available for free online, remember that your competition is probably using one of two things:

The exact same sample handyman business cards that you found for free and printed himself

OR

He is going to be using something that is professionally designed and printed by any of the numerous handyman business card printing companies that are available for a very nominal fee.

I am only throwing a Hail Mary here, but I can guarantee you that if you are competing with the professionally designed and printed handyman business cards guy, then his card will make it to the fridge and yours may very well be lost on the desk or some other perilous fate. Don’t let your business card end up in the trash with the other junk, make it stand out and scream CALL ME!!!!
