Background Information on Bicycles
Bicycles have been around in one form or another since the 19th century. Some of the earlier versions of the bicycle did not have a crank system, instead they were powered by pushing the bike with one's feet. The bicycle evolved from here by adding a crank system, by creating shock absorbers, by creating a breaking system and by adding rubberized tires. Some of the early ancestors of the modern bike included the velocipede, the hobby horse and the pushbike.
Bicycles have taken on many roles throughout their history. They were originally used as a form of entertainment and recreation; however, they were quickly adopted by the courier service industry. Telegraph deliveries, grocery deliveries and mail deliveries in both urban and rural areas have been made by bike since the 20th century. Also, during many of the wars that occurred in the 20th century, bicycles were used to transport messages between the front line and the base camp. The Germans even used bikes to make their retreat from France at the end of World War II. In addition to deliveries and fun, bikes have also been used for exercise and for racing.
Bicycle Rentals
Bicycle themed business card designs work great for companies that specialize in bicycle rentals. When selecting the bicycle graphic for your business card you will want to look for an image that will compliment your current promotional material design and color palette. You will also want to look for a graphic that portrays bike riding as a fun and convenient way to get around town. Also, don't forget to utilize the ad space on the back of your business card. For example you can print a coupon for a free hour rental or for a rent one day get one day free offer.
Bike Repairs
The bike repair industry is always in high demand. People who love to ride bicycles know how important it is to keep their bike in peak condition. Customization is also popular right now. If you offer bike customization services, or if you have special training for repairing certain brands of bikes, then you need to highlight this information on your business card. You can further entice customers to come to you for help by printing a coupon for a free tune up or a free water bottle on the back of your business card.
Bicycle Sales
Companies that sell bicycles need to put a lot of energy into promoting their business in a manner that will not only attract new customers, but that will also encourage repeat business and referral business. One of the best ways to do this is to create a professional looking bicycle themed business card.
The front of your business card needs to feature a graphic that is attention grabbing and that people will remember. On the back of the business card some kind of marketing tool needs to be used to encourage people to come to your store. For example, you can print a coupon for a free gift with their first purchase or you can print a raffle ticket on the back of the card to encourage people to visit your store.
