Printed Business Cards

Picture framers spend their time cutting mattes and choosing the right frame for your art work or photograph. They work with a variety of mediums and materials and may be employed by a large craft store, photography studio or work for themselves from a home studio. No matter the setting, the professional framer’s business card should be focused, direct and explicit all at the same time.

A framer’s business card can look cute with a frame background design. But depending on your potential clients, it could look a little tacky. Of course images or photographs of frames are the appropriate choice for the professional framer’s business card; it’s just about setting the right tone and realizing less is more. Think carefully about the choice of picture frame images you use as the idea is to get the customer interested in seeing more of your range.

A thick cut even textured card stock is perfect for the framer’s business card. Many online printers offer recycled card options or textured finishes to business card. There are natural wood or bamboo business cards on the market today and this may work for some framers but not for all. Think carefully about your finishes as they reflect how you as a framer finish your work and compile a picture.

Distribute the framer’s business card with every finished frame you give to your customers. Keep a stack on your framing counter if you work in a larger craft store and hand one out with every consultation or written inquiry. The professional framer is a profession sure to stay in demand and your business cards should match your busy creative work.
