Game, Set and Match: Tennis Coach’s Business Card
As summer approaches many people want to work on their tennis game giving tennis coaches and instructors ample opportunities to increase business. A professional tennis coach provides assistance with technique, understanding of the game and improving natural skill. They usually charge by the hour or timed session. The tennis coach’s business card should be informative, attractive and reflect the experience of the owner.
The tennis coach’s business card should include as much contact information as possible. The cell phone number is very important as a client may have to cancel a session when you are already on the courts. It is a good idea to include the main number of the tennis courts where you teach your clients for emergency situations. Be sure to include any academic or sports affiliated accreditations and qualifications on your business card.
When it comes to background design for the tennis instructor’s business card there are a number of choices. The tennis coach usually has a niche area of the tennis coaching world and their card aesthetic should reflect this. For the tennis coach with low to reasonable hourly rates a cute card including a tennis ball and net may be appropriate. For those with higher end clients it is better to set a serious tone and keep clip art and creative touches to a minimum.
Use the reverse side of the tennis coach’s business card to list your rates and or directions to the tennis courts you use for teaching. Consider a fold over business card so a client can tear off half of the card and use it as a coupon. For repeat clients hand out magnetic business cards to keep you in easy reach.
Distribute the tennis coach’s business cards at area sports facilities, gyms and community centers. Be sure to hand one to every client and any friends they bring to watch a training session. Many people are nervous about taking the first step to learning a new skill. The right kind of business card can give them a gentle push in the right direction.
