RM Small Business Builders
I am a serial entrepreneur. I own 3 related businesses that I am trying to tie together. You can see my company core values at http://www.rmsmallbusiness.com/.
I am attaching the draft copy to give you a bit of an idea of the style I am looking for which is professional yet a bit quirky. I like pushing the envelope to a certain degree. I am into Dave Mathews and David Letterman.
Business to business. Mainly small businesses who are struggling to run their whole business and want to outsource some of their tasks to another business (ours). The work is unexciting yet needs to be done efficiently and accurately so the target customer can build confidence in me. I am trying to breath some life into a dull part of a business, which is shipping and warehousing their products.
Card should speak to small business owners needing help as well as staff at smaller companies who need a solution to a problem that was dumped on them on top of their already heavy workload, where we are not necessarily their lowest cost option.
I want a rack card that can be handed out at trade shows. A winning design would be something I hand out that the recipient will want to leave on their desk, hang on the wall, or show to others in their company. It needs to inform the audience of our services as well as show why we are a bit different (and better) to work with.
Design must be respectful and tasteful.
I will supply the copy and I would like you to use or complement my corporate colors (which you will see on the logo on my website). I have attached a draft of the copy for one subject area that will become one of the rack cards. Different copy will be used for different cards using the same design.
Design must fit on a 4 x 9 rack card (either orientation) and ideally will be adaptable to follow on graphic work on my web sites.
