What Are Silk Business Cards?

Korum ServicesSilk business cards are a very new technology that many people have not even heard of.  The feel and touch of these cards are unlike any other and cannot be easily explained. They have the look of a full color business card that has been laminated but they feel silky smooth to the touch.

The beauty of silk cards is that they are almost indestructible! They are water resistant, do not tear or rip easily and can be written on if you need to make a note or write down a number. Silk business cards are easily the sign that you are ready to take your business to the next level.

Silk business cards look very elegant and are more likely to impress potential clients and customers. The reason for this is that a heavy card stock is used for the process. This combined with a silk or satin laminate produces a thick durable card. The cards are then cut using a die-cutting machine to your specified dimensions. Once the design is finalized and printed to the specific color specifications, the silk coating is then applied. Other enhancements can be made to the cards, for example, gloss UV coating in various places.

You may wonder why you should choose silk cards over other types of cards that are available. May be matte or gloss business cards. It is all about branding your business and the perception your card gives when you hand it over to some one. Most of all you want to stand out from a crowd. You want to separate yourself from other businesses and remembered. If you only have a small business card to do that with then you want to make sure that it leaves the greatest impact. It is worth spending a small amount to increase potential revenue for your business.

Tear off cards from Korum

korumservicesTear off cards are an underutilized marketing material that some businesses are unfamiliar with. So what is a tear off card? This is similar to an elongated postcard which has a piece the size of a business card that a client may tear off while retaining the larger card.

There are many different uses for tear off cards. Today some businesses use them for promotions such as coupons where a client can tear off a coupon and present it when they would like to use the discount. They can then keep the postcard and retain your contact information should they need it in the future. Tear off cards can be used by schools or organizations who run raffles for fundraising efforts. The purchases would keep one side of the tear off and the other side would go into the raffle. These options are to name just a few.

It is possible to reverse the promotion where the tear off is a business card that the client keeps and the larger postcard is taken to an event or is used to gain entry to a party for example. This is a good way to separate your business cards from other businesses and set yourself apart from others. When a client has to tear your business card off from a perforation it is more likely that they will hold on to your card.

As with postcards. Tear off cards have all the same options, and can come in unlimited colors and coatings. The smaller tear off portion usually has smaller font so that it can retain all the information that may be printed on the larger post card.

At Korum Services we are able to create tear off door hangers which work in the same way as tear off cards so if you feel that tear off cards may be an option you may want to look at door hangers too. Please give us a call at 241.74.12.80 so we can discuss the options that are available to you.

Custom Printed Stickers

korumservicesAt Korum Services we print a large array of custom stickers for our clients. You might wonder what you would use custom stickers for. In fact they are another marketing tool that can be used to promote your business quickly and effectively, getting your brand visually seen in many places that you may otherwise over look.

How many times have you seen the Apple logo prominently displayed on a car. You assume that this person probably owns an Apple computer and the sticker came free with the computer, but other than that the relationship stops there. This is still advertising on Apples part and it is free advertising! All of the people driving around with these stickers are not being paid by Apple,  but Apple is smart enough to market their brand every time you see the Apple sticker for free.

Imagine if you sent or gave stickers to your clients with their order or service. Maybe they would put one of them on the back of their car, or at their work place, store front window, or on a door. The exposure is what every business needs and every opportunity should be taken advantage of. Our stickers at Korum Services are UV coated therefore making it easier for them to withstand the elements and last longer if they were to be placed outside.  They come in round, oval and rectangular shapes and in all different sizes. Of course there are many different color options for your design. One of our design consultants at Korum Services would be happy to explain the different variations to you.

Stickers can be used at events as part of the promotional ‘swag’, at campaigns to promote candidates, window decals and of course any sort of promotional marketing.  Stickers can be put anywhere, and come in any size and shape which of course makes the possibilities endless.

Car Wraps By Korum Services

korumservicesCar wraps are the latest advertising media that is used today to get your brand and business seen. Custom vehicle wrapping  can be in any size, color or shape that suits your business.  A car wrap can partially cover a vehicle or cover the entire vehicle with your logo and design. The initial wrap is printed in  vinyl so that it can easily be removed from  your vehicle when needed. It can cover your car windows  to give you a total uniform look while still giving you the ability to look and see through the glass.

If you use vehicles for your business or even a vehicle for your transportation to and from your business it makes sense to combine your transportation into your advertising media. Once you have paid for the initial cost for the vehicle wrap you have the possibility of attracting thousands of impressions (people who see your ad ) each day, everyday for approximately three to five years. This is the usual amount of time that a car wrap can last for. This is a great return on investment. Don’t worry if you decide that you need to change your telephone number or something else on your car wrap, we can easily make a change  that doesn’t involve removing the whole wrap so your business can run smoothly.

The beauty of a car wrap is that it is not permanently  affixed to your vehicle. If you decide at any point you would like to change your car wrap you have the ability to remove your wrap and either create a new wrap or completely remove the wrap altogether without damaging the paint on your vehicle.

With a  vehicle wrap it doesn’t make a difference what color or shape your vehicle is, Korum Services can wrap all types of vehicles, trailers and even boats and buses.

Vehicle Wraps are one of the most cost effective methods of advertising that will make you stand out from your competitors as well as provide you with the most impressions for minimal outlay.

What’s a Restaurant Without a Printed Restaurant Menu!

korum servicesYou know it. There have been many times when you may go to a restaurant to get something to eat only to find the menu is up on the wall, literally written in chalk or black lettering all over one of the walls. It can be really confusing and over whelming and you wonder, why didn’t they just get printed menus?

While this may be the exception and not the rule, printed restaurant menus are really a form of expression. They can take on a life of themselves and are a brand of the business and what it represents. You can have the printed menu change from season to season or it can stay the same through out the year. The card stock and the type of finish that you use should be thought about when you design your menu. It should be durable to be able to withstand food and beverage spillage as well as continuous wear and tear of being passed though multiple hands of customers and staff.

Your restaurant can offer different types of menus depending on the service. Printed takeout menus might be of a lighter regular copy paper. Some patrons may take these menus with them to store at home ready for when they next order from your establishment. Some of these menus may be put into take out bags and get thrown away by mistake. These types of situations should all be factored into the cost of the printed menus. Seating menus as previously stated need to be durable and should be printed on heavy duty stock with a gloss finish. As these menus will stay within the establishment, more should be spent on making sure the menus are durable and stay looking clean and sharp for the time that you need them. There is nothing worse than looking at a menu that is dog-eared and dirty.

If you already have a design or logo for your restaurant, our staff at Korum Services understands how to put your menu together so that it works for you and your business. If you are unsure of which direction you should follow, our in house designers will be more than happy to sit down with you and explain what options would help your restaurant. Remember your menu layout, design and look is a direct representation of your brand. Customers view it before they even eat your food so much thought should be taken in the design process so that you are happy with the outcome.
