YooperCandles Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Been having a heck of a time coming up with a business card that reflects my business name. Let me know if either of these does it for ya.*** Just to clear things up a bit, the pic of the candles is NOT mine, just a reference to see if I am getting the right idea or not. I am planning on using the company digital camera, but couldnt today because of the snow storm causing everything to close for the day. I just want to see if I am in the right ballpark! Believe me, I wouldnt like it if someone used my work on their business cards...lolLets hope I do this right.......lolOk, Ive added two more cards for you to critique....please be honest with all of them. Let me know what you do and dont like about them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmadness Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 They are both nice... I would pick the purple ones. The reason being that they are more "neutral" and would appeal to all potential customers- JMO.Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I really like the bear....to me, seems sentimental, relaxingboth are good, but the bear does it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanna Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I like the purple one - are those candles that you sell? If not, I would suggest you put a picture of your own candles on them...just my 2 cents! Otherwise, they are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowlite Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I love the purple one! It definetly would call to anyone. Bears aren't my thing and I usually pass up stuff that is too frilly...but thats just me:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YooperCandles Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 I am getting the idea that although the one with the bear is cute, it is only going to attract those who like bears. I have a few more I am working on and will post those when I am done.Thanks to those who have posted, and to others, please add your input.....the more the better!Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrie Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I think it really depends on the area you're in.......country look or a more sophisticated look. I like the purple myself, but that's cause I'm not into the country theme. But I think they are both nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinesShower Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I like the bear one - it really reminds me of your name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I think I'd tone down the purple to a muted shade of lavender. This one to me looks to bright. But hey, could be my monitor too?I can see using both. How about if you have more of a country display on one table with your cards in front..and then on the other side of the table where its a cleaner feel, you put the purple over there?People can grab it when they're looking that the stuff they themselves really like.

islandgirl Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I like the Bear and the Girl/Tea... Very Nostalgic and inviting !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhardy1234 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I like the Bear and the Girl/Tea... Very Nostalgic and inviting !!!I agree with her, those were the 2 that I had picked. If your company name is scentimental gifts....thats what those 2 remind me of. Days gone by....things like that. I see candles, potpurri, soap, unigues gifts....ect.The lavender one is nice but too purple for me...maybe mute it down a bit. I guess it really depends on what market you are trying to hit. If your country, homey type of thing the bear/girl/tea will work. If your going upscale go for the candle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 While the purple one is nice, it doesn't say nostalgia to me, and that's the idea I get behind your name. I really like the teddy bear one ... the parasol, the bear, it all reminds me of sentimental items a person would keep and I think it goes well with your name. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'm not a bear person, so that didn't do it for me. I'm not a good one to say though - I see *so* many bears that it's common to me, but it might not be common to your customers - they might be more intrigued by it. I liked the girl/tea one - seemed to match your name more. The purple one was more formal cuz of the frosted jars, though it would have a completely different look with your own pics.

Scented Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Oh I really like that one, girl tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I agree with Scented, I also like the 3rd one the best. They are all very pretty, but I think the 3rd one really says "scentimental" to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breanna Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I like the Bear one and the Girls Tea party,,,They are lovely!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I vote for the brownish one of the girl and the bear having tea. That really looks sentimental to me. It really has a charming feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I'm not a "bear" person, but that bear seemed to fit....now that I see the girl with tea, I've changed my mind. It's just the feel of that type of pic....the purple seems modern and not what I associate with scentimental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YooperCandles Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 I havent decided for sure yet, but the girl/tea one is the one I am thinking of the most (third one).Again thanks, and keep the thoughts coming!!Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perlgoodies Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Two suggestions.1) Email or E-mail. It's not E-Mail. Generally it's Email and it looks better than a hypen would.2) Hotmail email addresses are not to be placed on business cards, letterhead, business letters or lables. I learned this in a business course at school. If you need an email address, make a free one somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
