I have been sent a voucher from our early years team to get 100 free business cards and 250 free flyers which can be printed by our local printer :thumbsup:

Have just been to see him and he is ever so nice and will help with the design side of things but I need to tell him what wording I need.

What do you all think??? He says not to put too much down as it ends up with the wording being too small.

I was thinking

Hi Jo,

I wish I could get free flyers. :( Do you need to include your area on it maybe?

For my business cards I put the following on the front side;
My name
Registered childminder
Full time, part time, before and/or after school and school holiday care for children aged 3 months upto 11 years old
Area
Telephone

Then I put registered childminder (again) and my website address on the reverse.

If I could afford flyers I'd put more or less the same information.

Personally I wouldn't put my full address on a business card or a flyer.

I would put all the rest plus:
Ofsted Grading
Area I live

Vistaprint do free flyers and postcards!!! You just pay the postage which is pretty cheap. www.vistaprint.co.uk. x

i use vistaprint - do the 250 business cards first as they are free (choose slow postage - cheapest and normally within a week!)
once you're set up with them they send you emails for free other bits too!!!! just postage to pay - qgain always go for the slow one!
i.ve had stamps, car magnets, hats, tshirts, postcards (ideal for flyers!)

i dont put my full address on cards - just my road and area
:D
