Business Card Opinions

[Baby Beluga]

I an legally licensed exempt so my address is not listed anywhere. I give out my approximate location and give my actual address the day of the interview.

I would like to make business cards, but don't want to put my actual address. Would it be weird to put "located 1 mile south of Smith and Wayne Road"?

I don't think it would be weird at all but have you considered instead to say something like "Located in the Petter School district" or "Located on the south side of Mytown" ?

I don't have my address listed on my business cards either. Didn't feel the need to put it because of safety reasons and I really don't think it matters. I have families that live and work in different cities that I provide care for.

I draw a "map" on mine. I draw two lines as the nearest cross streets and then a star where i am located.

My flyers just have the village and the subdivision names on them. If I did cards for the daycare I would do the same.

Mine will also just give a general idea of where.

I think in normal communities this would be great - but the location of my community is set up weird. My house has great freeway location which I think is a big selling point as you have to use the freeway to get in/out of my community. Some areas you have to drive a good 20 minutes of residential before hitting the freeway, which would add traveling time to working families. I figured maybe putting cross streets would give me a leg up location wise.

A map is a great idea! I was looking for something to put on the back on the card anyway.

I needed to fill up part of the back and this was the perfect way. I got the idea from another business card i had seen

the only address i have on mine is my email address.

I'm so glad to see that all of you don't list your actual address on your cards/fliers. I thought I would be the odd man out by not wanting to do so - but it is such a big safety concern for me.

before I knew any better, I did put my address out there on stuff. one sunday we are getting ready to go to my sons football game, lots of chaos going on in the home, I had 4 other football players with me at my house. well what do you know, some lady comes to my front door asking if this is the preschool. all she sees is 4 very loud half dressed 14 year old football players running through the house. My son came and got me, said some church friends are at the door.
when I got to the door, the lady look mortified. Of course, I told her we don't operate on sunday's, but I was pretty sure she was never coming back anyways.

lesson learned.

It was very funny and I never did see the lady again. The funny things that happened my first few years in the business because I just didn't know any better.
