Do you put your private/home/cell number on your business cards and website?
I'm making a big batch of business cards and can't decide....rent a voice mail box just for hooping? or keep it simple (but possibly more complicated!)
Have you had any problems putting your personal number on business-related stuff?

Re: phone numbers...
Sat, May 3, 2008 - 12:31 PMHi Sadie,
A lot of cell phone companies have deals where you can add a line and a phone for only about $10 more per month. I have a seperate cell number for my hoop business, which has been working really well. However, I put both the business number and my cell number on the business cards. Haven't had a problem so far :)

I think it depends on how much energy you have invested in a web presence. Meaning, prospective students can find so much of what they need on my website, that I very rarely got phone calls. If, however, you aren't yet to the point where your website addresses common inquiries... then you might consider a separate line.
Things my website offers that minimizes lots of call backs: class schedule, class descriptions, online registration, testimonials, links to class location, etc.
And, of course, my web address is the most visible font on my biz card.

Mon, May 5, 2008 - 1:49 PMI don't put it on my website, but I do on my business cards. I guess I prefer email from the general internet public, and I wouldn't mind (and actually prefer!) a phone call from someone I've met.

Thu, May 22, 2008 - 10:48 PMI agree with the above posters. Although I've been handing out business cards for only about 6 months now, I have always put my cell phone number, which is my only phone line, and I haven't had any problems yet.
I totally agree with Candice too, I always make the website font bigger and bolder :-)
