Exactly, the business cards I picked out have the little "recycle" logo and a green earth on the back, and I'm gonna pitch the safety, $$$ angle on the website.

I was in LOVE w/the idea of a "green" business from the inception of my plan. On the back of my card, under the "recycle" logo around a green earth picture it's gonna say, "Love your Mother". What could be more spiritual than a green business? I know!

Mark ole Coyote's words, FORTUNES are gonna be made behind this whole green movement. It's just the right, not to mention, sane thing to do.

Thanks and God bless us all,

The most important aspects of your business card are:
-the catchy name that everyone remembers
-something that tells the consumer WHAT the product/service is
-how to get it ... ie: contact info

Maybe a card that on one side the catchy name in big bold shiny letters, then a smaller print line under it describing what the product is, & your contact information. Simple & memorable.


IT'S PERFECTLY CLEAR
you need headlight reconditioning
call Coyote 21 ...


or something along those lines anyway ...

You could have the other selling points/info on the flip side of the card ... the environmental, safety, budget etc selling points.

Good Luck with it

When I lived in Florida there was a guy who went from office parking lot to office parking lot...he washed cars, I loved it, he was there every 2 weeks....but just thought that you might be interested in going to office complexes where there are lots of cars parked all day to drum up some business.

Helenlee, um.....you don't by any chance do this for a living, do you? I think you are what, in baseball, they call a ringer!

I'm on it! That and used car lots and, oh, oh, oh, a thought just rattled out of my brain....those auto sales mags, Autotrader, for contacts. People trying to sell their cars. You could get $500 more for your car.

The drivers side I did on my car, left the other side cloudy, (it's a rolling Before/After ad) makes the car look years younger.

Hummm, I may just slather some on me.

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote


THIS IS FUN! Thanks guys. I'm already counting my money.

I gotta tell you guys, whatever else HP has for me, oh and make no mistake about it, this is gonna happen;

I haven't smiled so much in a long time, my cheeks hurt, on my face. I can feel the love you guys have taught me to expect, coming right through the computer. Thanks all.

Thanks and God bless us all,
Coyote

You may consider reaching out to body shops, vehicle recycling facilities (salvage yards) and used car lots...they may give you bulk business.

Offer a drawing... once a week, month, etc... the winner gets the full headlight treatment... ask people to enter by dropping their business card into a container located at a local business... let the business owner pull the winning card... and you have a bazillion leads to boot.

Best of luck!

Actually, I think Re-Light on its own sounds good!
Oh, and then for a logo you could have a little smiling car underneath the name, shining rays of light ahead (like in a triangular shape).
