when getting business cards made for my wholesale business, what should i ad on the card. should i put my own name or just we buy houses. Can anyone let me know the best way for business cards
Name
Real Estate Services or We buy houses
number
website if you have one
email
Who are you giving these business cards to? and what do you want them to think when they look at it a week later?
I use different business cards. If I am after private lenders, equity partners, lenders, etc. I am not giving them a card that says I BUY HOUSES with comments about bird dog fees on there. Rather a nice professional card that looks business!
SETTING UP THE RIGHT BUSINESS CARD

Here’s an example of a good business card. None of the numbers are still active but here’s what to look at.
MAJOR ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE BUSINESS CARD
1. Company Name
2. Website - In this case it is embedded in the email.
3. Slogan - We Buy USED Homes
4. Offer - Offer in 24 hours, ALL CASH, AS IS
5. Address - for credibility
6. Phone, Fax, Email
Done on the right paper, this card can be used for both professional meetings (bankers, chambers, etc) and informal meetings (with sellers)
IMPORTANT! Make sure the back of your card is NOT laminated. I know people tell you to sell here but I disagree. This is where you write SELLER information when you don’t have paper. Afterwards you can pass that card on to one of your G.R.E.A.T. Buyers so they can go look at the house.
Many companies can produce these cards for you. I like a company called AAA Business Cards out of California. They are not the very cheapest, but they ship on time and have a back that is not laminated.
