I'm making a business card to give out when I sell my work. I don't really want to use the name "Scroll Saw Artist" because I'm not sure if people know what a scroll saw is. I wonder if that matters though.
But anyway, if I didn't want to use that, what other titles could people like us have? (be nice!)
Thanks!
-
"Goddess of Woodworking" is appropriate! You always make beautiful projects!
Seriously - "Creative Wood Artist" would be nice :)

We called ours CE Woodworks...Stands for Cherie Eppler woodworks. Jaun does not scroll or the Eppler I guess can stand for some things that he does. LOL
-
Janet, I don't see any reason you can't use "Scroll Saw Artist". If the customer does not know what that is, then explain what a scroll saw artist is!
-
I agree with dgman.
I have on mine Flying Dutchman Scroll saw blades.
Som have asked me what scroll saw blades are, I was always glad to explain it.

I like that Sheila... Creative Wood Artist ;D
-
I call myself "A Maker of the Finest Kiln Dried Fire Wood in Kansas".

Rog that is a good one. Do you charge for that fire wood?
-
I agree with Dgman, the heading on your card reflects what you do or what you are selling.
I head my card, JimPardoe woodturner and Woodcrafter, that will change before my selling season this year, but will still put my name up front as people like to know who they are talking to,
good luck on your new design and lets know what you come up with

hi janet, my card says what i specialize in, mine says specializing in scroll saw portraits and gifts, along with all my contact info such as: phone, mail addy, and my online store etc.
-
I chose not to place my home phone number on my cards. I give it to a select few people.

Hi Janet
Nothing wrong with name. Like the name Sheila came up with. Haven't got to making cards yet, but am pondering on making a website and cards. I have my name all ready Woodwormworkshop. My family calls me a woodworm.
Make some nice cards Janet and put a pic in here for us once you're done.

How about Creator Of Fine Saw Dust.. LOLOL ;D ;D ;D
P.S. I do use that on my cards.
-
;D LOL Russ,
So do you sell that fine sawdust that you Create. :P
David

How's about "Wood Surgeons"???? :D ;D ??? :o
-
Didn't you say you work mainly in 'poplar'?
"The Poplar Princess"
"Artist in Aspen"
"Wonder Woman of Walnut"
"Outstanding Oak Objects"
"Wooden Wonders"
I tried!

Just a friendly tip for David and others. If you are thinking about domain names (web address) and aren't prepared to purchase it you don't really want to put it out there until you're ready to do so. There is an industry of people that go out and purchase them only to try and sell it to those that wanted it. At about $6-10 it costs them next to nothing to do so and could end up costing us big time.

Good Idea to purchase your 'domain name' even if you are not ready to set up your site!
As stated it is a regular industry out there buying up names just to sit on them and make money from others.

I need to make up some cards. Mine will say "Rightarm's Woodhead Studio", and under that it will say "I've Got Wood". Dave
P.S. I'm having some TiShirts made up like that also. ;D
-
Cards are great most customers want one but very few use them to re-order, I make and print my own to keep the cost down and only do a few at a time as I change the wording as my range changes, the next one will have scroll work at the fore

Thanks Don for the advice. Never thought of that.

I'm not selling on a website. I'm just going to sell by word of mouth. Imnot doing it for profit. I'm donating to charity. I'd like to make alot of money to give to charity but i don't want to create more work with an online store to take care of.
I ordered cards from www.vistaprint.com. I just ordered from the free ones and just paid for shipping. When I get them I'll post a pic.
Thanks for the input!
-
This is what I ordered... I found a way to get a picture. Go to my site... it's on there - http://www.jwillem.webs.com/ (http://www.jwillem.webs.com/)
The website I still need to update... but like I say on it, I'm not going to do a whole lot of work on it. I'd rather work on the scroll saw ;)
I think these should be fine to pass around.
Thanks Cherie for your help on the website. I switched it over to my name instead of a "company"ish name.
In case anyone is wondering, I get 250 of them (I picked from the free ones) and just pay shipping. But shipping is $5.67. I ordered on 6/20 and should get by 7/12. I paid for the cheapest shipping.
-
That really looks great, Janet! The cards are just beautiful! (I like the name too!)
:) Sheila
-
Thanks Sheila! I didn't want to use a woodwork type of card even though that would probably be more appropriate. It will mainly be coworkers, friends, and friends of friends that purchase from me.
-
Hey Janet, I'm so proud of you! Your work is excellent and the cause is admirable.
Your doing a wonderful thing here!
-
I call you a class lady as well as a creative person!!!
Nice cards and a very wonderful thing you are doing for your fellow man!
HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZ to You!

The cards look fantastic and a wonderful cause to donate to. Way to go. 8)
-
Very nice. And the thought is very caring. Dave 8)
-
Great card Janet did you design it your self?
Jimbo
-
Yes... well, the template is on www.vistaprint.com... I just filled in the blanks.
-
I really like your card Janet and your site is just awesome. We do most of our sales by word of mouth also, but that is only because I do not have much time at the saw itself.
