Local senior center & offer a senior discount. If you attend church that is also a great source.

Sit down and make a list of everyone you know…mom, dad, uncle, dentist, doctor, old teachers, etc. Then, talk to them and give them cards and ask them to tell everyone they know.

Once he does some jobs ask satisfied customers for a comment (make up comment cards like they have in restaurants) put them in a nice notebook/album and use them as references etc.

Besides business cards, he needs professional estimate forms, contracts, stationary etc. Get a magnetic sign for the side of his truck (Fastsigns does them cheaply.) On the weekends part the truck in different parking lots (mall, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.). (Make sure it’s clean too.)

Local paper runs little ads for $20 a week. Well worth it!

Hello there. I have been involved with working from home for many years and been through quite a myriad of businesses, some successful, some not so much.
My first concern here is your upline. Where are they? Whoever enrolled you should have taken you by the hand and lead you step by step through their process. I admit, I had the same problem with Shaklee. If your enroller isn’t available to help you, then whoever is above them should step up to the plate. There’s nothing worse than getting all excited about your home business, getting your products and your kit….then standing alone and asking “What now?”
Because it is such a competitive market, and I hate to say it but Shaklee’s prices are definately up there, you need company training to get you started. If you feel that the timing is right, the products are outstanding and can really help people both with their quality and prices, you can earn an income at it. If you have any doubts, perhaps the business isn’t the right fit for you. I know I had to make that decision before and it’s not fun.
If you would like to talk more about the market and where it’s going, feel free to contact me.

VistaPrint is crap unless you’re okay with them making unauthorized charges to your credit card and then selling your info to anyone willing to pay for it. Besides that, more than once I’ve had to fix a VistaPrint job for a customer because the backs of the cards haven’t lined up with the fronts.

I’m not sure why using an online printer is important here. Unless mobility is an issue you’re always, always better off talking to someone in person.

To put a job that small on a press, alone, will cost a few hundred dollars. For 250 cards, your job will be run on a big community sheet with at least a dozen other cards — unless you know precisely why you want a UV coating on them, you might be better off doing your cards digitally and perhaps having a matte or glossy film applied.

I would say your best option is to contact a trade printer in your nearest major city and find out who you need to send your job to so that they get it. Trade printers only print for other printers, but because it isn’t a front for a credit card scam you can have more confidence in the quality of the work. I will tell you that you’re probably looking at 500 cards minimum, but for a price difference of under $40.
