Bartender business cards are a must have for your mobile bartender business. Your business card will serve as a catalyst for word of mouth advertising and referral marketing. If you’re interested in the exciting opportunities that await you as a mixologist at private events, weddings, corporate parties and more, you need to start by creating the right business card.
You can make your bartender business card using photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. (NOTE: You can download free 30-day trials on their websites) If you buy some business card templates, expect to pay a little more. If you can’t do it yourself, hire someone to do it for you. Find that friend who is a graphic designer to help you out. Ask him to create a logo and design for you.
Remember when creating a template or design for your mobile waiter business: Make it attractive. It has to have that “WOW” factor. High quality and professional design are important. People will form their first impression of you and your business based solely on your card. If it looks boring, it will mean the same for your bartender business.
Next, promoting yourself is a must in this business. Your business card is the first step in self-promotion. Using it, you can easily hand them out to people you just met at a party or networking event. Imagine you’re at an event where you’re a mixologist: every guest there is a potential customer. Introduce yourself, build rapport with them, and give them a card. But most importantly, tell them, “If you know of someone who is having a party and needs a bartender, let me know!”
I also recommend having some of your bartender business cards displayed nicely on your bar. You may be too busy to interact with guests and they may simply pick up a card and take it themselves.
Your goal is really to pass your card on to as many people as possible, especially while you are “on the job” serving at other events. When people see you in action, they’ll be more inclined to hire you because they know you’re good. Your bartender business card; Don’t leave home without it!
