Politicians and Self Promotion: The Mayor’s Business Card

The town or city mayor is both politician and town promoter. They are responsible for meeting with the town council, signing off on town grants and loans, meeting with established and new businesses and attending meetings on state and local affairs. The Mayor’s business card is a blend of self and community promotion.

Incorporate a mixture of personality and town emblems on the mayor’s business card. If you have a town logo, motto or letterhead, find a way to blend elements of that with images and designs that give potential voters a good idea of the man or woman behind the office. Perhaps a representation of a favorite hobby or even a portrait photograph can provide a little insight into the individual’s personality.

When it comes to contact information on the mayor’s business card, use both the private office information as well as the main numbers for the town hall or municipality. As mayors often have other jobs or commitments consistent availability may be an issue. Including alternative phone numbers, web sites and e-mail addresses will ensure that residents and business people will be able to get a hold of a town representative during business hours.

Consider the fold over business card with engraved printing for the mayor’s business card. Fold over cards offer room for additional information as well as being able to free stand on a person’s desk. They are the latest in business card trends and show people that you are up to date and willing to put a little effort and quality into your printed handshake.

Distribute the mayor’s business card to fellow politicians, local residents, business owners, state and county representatives and anyone who you meet in the day to day business of being the mayor. Always have a pile on your desk, in the town hall, the council meeting room and available at any local government offices in your district.
