Repetition Is Key

Repetition is key. Research has proven this.
Research has also suggested consumers must encounter your brand seven to twelve times before they’re ready to purchase.
So put yourself in front of your target audience over & over again. Repetition is key!

{print} Brennan C Phillips Photography Business Cards

with 2 comments

I have had the pleasure of working on some custom business cards for an old friend, Brennan Phillips. Brennan is a photographer who specializes in weddings/events, portraits, prints and retouching. She leans towards more non-traditional styles and is currently the Lowcountry Highrollers Team Photographer in Charleston, South Carolina. She wanted her cards to be colorful; bright and colorful with lots of swirls and curves. We went with a brown background color on the front to relate to the warm color palette of the photo on the back of the card.

For the back of the card she wanted to use a self-portrait photo that said HELLO. How cute is that? This photo adds such a personal touch and introduction.

Ivan Molina is the mastermind behind the name DJ Atropine. He wanted to create a new business card to advertise his music mixing services. Ivan loves to mix electro, hip-hop and techno but is available for all event requests. He wanted his cards to connect to the music he loves to mix.

The heart also helped capture Ivan’s personality perfectly. The colors were all bold and neon and we chose a glossy stock to really capture the colors. I gave Ivan 3 options and since he couldn’t decide between these 2–we just printed both.

So tell me what you think! Then, do you need some personal calling cards or business cards?

For those that have been following me and Paper Cut Industries, you know that I have a fond love for stitched paper. It all started with a Fiber class I took in college. I fell in love with fabric and combined it with my love of paper. However, my skills have not been mastered. I can’t stitch paper without losing my patience. Just a shame, because I wanted to offer stitching on Invitations since the beginning. My business cards were even stitched and they were a huge hit! We can also stitch custom designed business or calling cards for you!

Well, I am now going to officially be offering stitching as an option for all wedding invitations and stationery alike. Together with the skills behind The Neighborhood Press, it is now possible! We can apply stitching to Signature Collection options and of course apply it to any Custom Collection design.

I checked out Lori’s blog for The Neighborhood Press and instantly admired her skill and precision with the stitching she did on her Invitations. You should check out her site and see what goodies she has available. Lori is an English teacher turned amazing crafter and I am so happy to be working with her.

Here is a sample of some bronze colored thread. G O R G E O U S !
