Silk business cards. Different. Unique.

When most people start thinking of ways to promote their online business or website, they seldom think about including custom printing as part of their arsenal.

One great way to increase traffic to a business is by giving out printed coupons for specials and deals that are offered only on your website. These coupons can be in the form of a business card promoting a free consultation, a discount, or a free gift with purchase from your online store. To increase the odds of being noticed, your card must definitely stand out and be unique amongst all other cards. This is where silk laminated business cards have the most marketing value.

So what are silk business cards?

Silk business cards are business cards that feel smooth to the touch, almost like that of real quality silk or satin. These are one of the best business cards one can buy because they are highly durable under wet conditions (such as running water). In fact, silk business cards are laminated with a special thin film to give them that silky texture. The cards have a matte satin finish but many companies offer spot uv gloss on top of the silk laminate for an additional fee. While 16pt silk laminated business cards can be as thick as 16pt business cards, the difference becomes obvious when you try to tear the cards in half, exposing the thin laminate that protects the silk business cards as well as give it their unique feel.

A quality business card is a part of the "real world" -- something you can touch and pick up, not virtual like a website. Quality custom print jobs, especially in full color, can easily be the deciding factor that converts a prospect into a client.
