Makeup businesses are thriving nowadays. Eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, a wide array of foundation shades, different brands, different formulas — they all keep popping up.
How come not? Make-up is a 50-billion-dollar industry in the US alone. Sure, so many people will want a share of the pie.
But this phenomenon where everyone can sell lipsticks or be a make-up artist easily makes the makeup industry a very saturated place for business.
So how do you rise from the crowd? How can you market your brand amidst the numerous names in the make-up industry?
There’s many— social media, proper branding, online marketing. But turns out, one of the easy and cheap ways you can do so is by handing out calling cards.
Yes. Calling cards are still relevant nowadays. It can still lure in your target customers in ways that online means cannot achieve.
Instead of casually telling people about your contact details, which they can easily forget, why not hand out business cards that contain all those information?
It will force people to take a look at what you offer, and perhaps visit your store. Even better, if they book your service.
So what does a business card look like? To help you with that, we present a list of creatively designed business cards for makeup artists and the like.
Makeup Artist Business Cards
Make-up artists can either work independently or in the salon. Both have to do proper marketing and branding to sell their service. Which means both will benefit from a handy-dandy business card.
What should a makeup artist’s business card look like? Well, it depends on the owner and the service.
First, the owner of the business card can opt for a wide array of colors for makeup. Since makeup is a dominantly feminine industry, the artist can choose traditionally feminine colors such as pink, red, purple, and white. You can choose almost any type of color as long as you steer from boring monotones such as brown, grey, and black.
The offered service will dictate what kind of images will be presented on the business cards. For example, if you offer bridal makeup, then an image of a lady wearing full makeup and a bridal headdress is great.
But if you offer face-and-body painting makeup, then the images should showcase your creativity in body paints.
In terms of the font design, you could never go wrong with sans serif typefaces, because it’s clear and modern-looking.
But if you choose script and decorative typefaces, make sure it’s legible and copyright-free. Some of these typefaces are custom-made for other brands and you could get in trouble if you choose one that is not free to use.
What information should be included in your makeup artist business card? Name, website, specific make-up service (hair and makeup, fashion makeup, wedding makeup, etc.), contact numbers, location, and social media pages.
