Does a yoga instructor need a business card?
Business cards may feel like something that is reserved for the corporate world but they often come in handy when we need to quickly share our contact information with someone. We highly recommend that you get a professional-looking and well-designed yoga instructor business card that leaves a positive impression on the person receiving them. The style and the design of the business card must align with your personal brand, the kind of yoga you practice, and your online presence.
Designing Your Yoga Business Card
Okay, you now realize that life has added up to almost nothing without your yoga business card, and you’re desperate to get something going. Let’s get down to the fun part of designing something super pretty.
If you’re going to have a crack yourself, then get a blank piece of paper and assemble some key information. Know your colors, know your fonts, and decide what information you want to include. Websites like Tailor Brands give you a platform on which to design your logo, and then away you go – you can use a tool like Canva or Picmonkey – or for the old school amongst you, a simple PowerPoint slide will do.
As you proceed to obtain a yoga instructor business card for yourself, here are a few things to think about:
- Keep it simple: don’t try to include too much information on the business card. It is typically best to have your own website and include just that one link in there
- Make sure that the email address you use is professional. If you have your own domain name, it is best to use an email address based on that domain name. Otherwise, use your preferred email provider but select an email address that aligns with the brand you want to convey. Good examples are [email protected] or [email protected] or [email protected]. Make sure to avoid email addresses such as [email protected]
- Be different: choose the right design, customize the business cards in some way that makes them stand out
- Make sure to have someone else proofread them: you do not want to end up handing out business cards with typos or incorrect information. You also do not want to have to reorder them because of a little mistake so make sure to have someone else review them for you
Here are a few instances where business cards can be highly beneficial
Conferences
Showing up to a conference without business cards can actually be kind of awkward because most people will have them. Collecting business cards can be a great way to remember everyone that you are meeting at a big networking event like a conference and a great way to follow up with those people. It’s also a great way to ensure that people connect with you and have a way to contact you if they want to collaborate, work with you, or just check out your offerings.
Turning students into private clients
When someone picks up what you’re putting down in class and asks where else you teach or what else you offer, this is the perfect time to tell them a bit about what else you offer and then hand them a business card so that they can take a look at your website and have easy access to your contact information.
Those random times when you meet a like-minded person
Have you ever been to a restaurant or out with friends and you meet someone who would be perfect to work on a project with or to connect with in the future? These moments are the perfect time to whip out your business card to make sure that you connect later.
Professionalism
It certainly can’t be argued that business cards can not only make us feel more legitimate but also make our business look more legitimate. Handing a business card to someone feels really good and feels professional. It’s like the cherry on top of the cupcake when it comes to setting up your business and feeling like you’ve done all the steps to get you to a point of making money and living your dream life.
It’s always important to look at what you want out of your career and what your goals are
