I made over one thousand extra dollars in one month by making use of a little plastic card. No, I’m not talking about taking a cash advance out on one of my credit cards. I’m talking about increasing my marketing power through utilizing the services of a plastic card printing service.

I stumbled across a printer in my neighborhood while waiting for a friend who was running late. The plastic business card display in the window caught my eye. Before I knew it, I’d gone ahead and ordered eye-catching cards of my own. They have the quote that I use as my professional slogan and they point people to the URL of my website. Once I had these cards in hand, I set about making them work for me.

First, I made sure to attend a few networking events in my industry where I handed out these cards. (Many people commented on what a neat design they were, I might add!) Then I put together a new media and marketing kit and sent that out to local businesses, including the new cards of course. And finally, I left stacks of these cards at appropriate businesses in the area.

When all was said and done, my business made more than a $1000 more in profits that month than it usually does. And that’s after taking into account the original cost of the cards. You can bet I’ll be looking into the other types of cards that the printer has available for me to use!
