Good quality letterheads and business stationery ultimately say a lot about your company, they represent your business to anybody who sees your letterheads or business cards
What will your would-be new clients think when they pick up your promotional material as well as just simple and tacky, or your business cards or letterheads?
They will obviously inevitably think that you are a service that cuts corners and no-one wants that, most definitely these days when things are tough for everybody in business
If other businesses observe that you cut corners, will they want to let you provide services to their company, maybe the answer here is a big fat no
There are a few options available to you for producing letterheads or other business stationery;
1. You could print them yourself if you have a good quality office printer
2. You could get them quite cheaply from a web based printing site, just do a search
The alternative obviously is to have them done properly, your letterheads and other business stationery should be designed and printed with a professional printing firm, remember, these are what people see first so don't let them think your a tacky company
When you are thinking of having some letterheads printed, ensure that you give some thought to this, you need to make it look right, the design must be just right for your own kind of business, no 2 letterheads would be the same, you really should try to be noticeable, they need to be eye catching without being too much
Try and realize that with letterheads, business cards or every other part of your business stationery, they need to make an impression and capture peoples eye, do this and you may be sure they will at least get read
Suppose some promotion from another company arrived on the desk and it was printed on the badly produced letterhead, what could you think?
I would imagine you might be the same, but if it truly stands out and its printed on quite heavy paper you will give it a look over as your natural reaction is, this can be a professioanl organization
Your company stationery and letterheads are vitally important to your success and it’s not only letterheads, it’s your business cards as well and all of your other business stationery
When you go out to networking gatherings or any where you are able to interact with other businesses, make sure you pick up their business cards and publicity literature, they are not only fabulous for contacts but will help you choose what looks good and what does not
I must stress upon you the significance of the paper quality used is essential, never go for the thinest and ensure your business cards are on the heaviest card you can afford, at a minimum 350gsm
If you are going to have all your stationery printed on bargain basement priced nasty paper, there really isnt much point in bothering a lot of with the design
If you are going to have all your stationery printed on low priced nasty paper, there really isnt much point in bothering a lot of with the design
To really make an effect and be prominent above all others, have all your company stationery done at the same printers, this includes your company cards, letterheads, compliment slips and envelopes, it will cost a little bit more but it really is well worth the extra expense
