How to hand out more business cards!

Thanks for the great tip Metina!

Oooh, great idea. Soon I'll be printing up my very first batch of business cards and I already thought about putting removal instructions on the back since so many people ask about that, but I didn't think of it as a way to push out more cards!

For me, baby wipes (or wiping in general) usually pushes the paint into the pores and actually makes it harder to clean.

I put the removal instructions for face painting on one side and glitter tattoos on the other side. Hubby handed out our card with the instructions.

Here's mine:

Face Paint Removal Instructions
(Italics red) Don't scrub or use harsh cleaners!
The quality face paints we are using will remove easily with soap and water following these instructions: Use a very soft cloth or sponge with a little soap or baby shampoo on it. In a circular motion rub the design until it's lifted THEN rinse away with water or wipe off with the clean side of the cloth. Anything left? Try lotion and rub gently...let it do the work.

I like Metina's though...short and sweet. I'll probably modify it for the next printing.

I second what colden said about the baby wipes. Plus, when you're trying to take paint off that has been on for a few hours with just baby wipes, it's of course much harder to get off so you start scrubbing harder and causing some skin irritation.

I'm late getting to this thread but I just wanted to share how I have been getting my card to more people recently.
As soon as I finish painting the child's face I whip out my camera and ask the parents if they would like me to take a nice picture for them? I explain I will put it on my facebook page and they can download the photo from there. I also mention that I offer a voucher for a free face paint for new facebook fans and voila!! they leave card in hand and they look me up later!
It's not as simple as instructions on the back of the card and it's early days yet but so far it is working well to get my card out, build my database of customers and snap some nice pics for my developing portfolio:)

I love the ideas. Something I gotta get working on right away!
