a church member played "The Pennsylvania Polka" as well as her other favorite polkas on Marilyn's accordian.

Isn't it awesome when the service really reflects the person's personality. Nice.

bonny -

I like the picture, but I think it throws off the balance of the whole thing. I think you would need to rearrange things somehow. Also, the picture either needs to be bigger or zoomed and cropped.

I didn't see anything misspelled. Looks good.

Thanks so much Laura and smonster.

I always prefer this type of material without photo. In my experience my opinion is the complete opposite of the entire population, therefore; the with photo option is likely the best choice. Seriously, when it comes to marketing wisdom I seem to always be in the minority.

Actually, Laura, I am of the exact same mind. The one with the photo feels a little 'real estate business card' to me. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, but I agree with smonster that it throws the design of kilter.

I'm nervous, however, about defying the notion that people can't trust people they can't see.

Then again the card does cite my website, which has all the photos anyone might need, right?

I like the picture, but I agree with smonster that it needs to be bigger or more close-up.

So this is just a card? I say you can lose the photo, then. It's on your website, right?

eta - also, do you intend "life changing" to modify "life coaching"? I can't tell. If so, get rid of the comma and add a hyphen - "life-changing life coaching." If not, I would reverse the two to make it less confusing.

Dude, my roommate's still napping. Guess I need to eat something, and I guess we're not going out.

I kind of like the picture too.

Another question - will the "complementary consultation" text be a link? It looks like it should be, and I get unreasonably aggravated when something that looks like a link isn't.

I always prefer this type of material without photo.

me too. Or, if you are going t add a photo, it needs to be put in a different place or sized or something.

My other favorite part was the fact that the priest sounded JUST LIKE the priest from "Princess Bride".

That guy did a family wedding once too. My mom and I were in quiet hysterics through the whole thing. Well, we tried to be silent. Mostly we looked like we were Very Emotional.

Then we went back to my place, rented Princess Bride, drank a bottle of wine and laughed ourselves into tears. Best.

Here is a new version with the photo resized. Thumbs up or down?

I don't know that it helps and one of the problems is that, while I like the photo in general, it is not the highest quality.

Another question - will the "complementary consultation" text be a link?

I'm with you...and tried to place a hyperlink in the pdf, but it didn't work. I'm not sure how to make that particular phrase stand out without the added color.

"life-changing life coaching."

Fixed.

This will be an electronic tool only. I have a bunch of printed cards that aren't doing much good. People take them, but don't have them in their pocket when they run into the person they want to give it to, etc.

I'm hoping that having something to email or a link to click on the website will make it easier.

This is my totally unhelpful advice. I always prefer this type of material without photo. In my experience my opinion is the complete opposite of the entire population, therefore; the with photo option is likely the best choice. Seriously, when it comes to marketing wisdom I seem to always be in the minority. This is why I stick to technical.

I like the clean look of the no-photo card, but at the same time as I was realizing that, I had that little thought in my head that some marketing expert probably would advise how a photo tends to make people feel more connected, and therefore more likely to make contact.

My little punctuation quibble is the colon after "Kids (7&up)" - it makes sense for it to be there, but since there is not one after "Adults" the lack of parallelism jangles a bit. It is not necessarily wrong, I just don't like it.
