Use Appointment Cards To Help Your Business Run Smoothly


There are countless tools available to businesses today that can help them operate more smoothly. Some are expensive, others are not, but the key is to find something that really works for your company. Appointment cards are very popular for certain business owners. Salons, dental offices, doctor offices, pretty much any place that operates by appointment only.

There are so many benefits to making beautiful appointment cards for your business. First of all, having them at your disposal to be able to offer them to customers makes your company look professional and organized. Customers usually love the offer because then they do not have to spend five minutes looking for their own pen and paper to write down their appointment time. They are great for both business owner and client and cut down on follow up calls with people wondering when they are supposed to come in next.

Here are a few tips for you when designing your cards. First, and perhaps most importantly, you want to choose a non-glossy card stock to print your cards on. You want to be able to write on the card, as this is the entire point of having them. Glossy cards just won't hold ink the same way a softer card stock will.

You also want to make sure that your appointment cards have your office or salon phone number on there somewhere. This way, if your client needs to contact you for some reason, they have a quick reference to do so. Also, you can include the days of the week at the top of the card so you can quickly circle which day their appointment is on. Then leave a space where you can write the time and any other notes that may be pertinent to their visit.

Designing creative cards for your place of business is a great way to stay on track with your clients in between appointments. They create a professional image for your business and clients really do appreciate them. Another benefit is that in many ways, they also act as business cards. You can use your business cards as a guide to creating your appointment cards. It is nice to have the same logo and information present on both cards in order to help build brand recognition. Also keep in mind all of the benefits that will come from using them. Giving someone an appointment card means the will take it home and display it somewhere so they can reference it in-between appointments. This means that the card will be out in the open for everyone else to see as well. You can attract more business for yourself in this way. This is why it is a good idea to have your name and contact information displayed prominently on each card.
