Well, obviously i thought wrong.<br />
<br />
No problem with design and logo albeit temporary and of course with text layout and print-outs but the main crux was plenty of typographical errors, missed blog address and a mis-stated postal codes.<br />
<br />
<br />
"I just copied and pasted." Don't give me that mister card maker.<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson no. 1</b>- Don't copy and paste give each individual attention.<br />
<br />
I made sure i checked everything only to realise about the errors when i was leisurely going through the cards after a long day of running[actually walking] up and down[town]. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Lesson no. 2</b>- Don't rush [these sort of] things, don't be in a hurry. It will cost you not only money but most important credibility- especially from potential clients.<br />

<br />
But the best thing is i already saw the potential mishaps beforehand. Swallowed my pride and dropped the ego and realised no matter how grammatically ultra-confident i was[or probably feel] am no angel and prone to stuff passing my notice.<br />
<br />
Though to save face i can always blme it on 'time' "man i was in a hurry". true or false that's debatable.<br />
<br />
So whenever you're ordering 'them cards', let 'em come in small batches of ten- for obvious reasons- and test them with family and friends first to have their POV[Point Of View] and as i like to call it "UE" [User Experience] before passing them on to potential customers/clients.<br />
<br />
It turned out the mistakes were so devious even my gifted niece passed over the blue bolded header "SUCURITY" and i know why- that Cambridge study.<br />
<br />
<br />
She was useful, she pointed out the flawed postal code- 00100 instead of 00200. So fairly speaking she managed 2 out of five. Not bad on my part(read self esteem) which means am not destroying those cards and other co-founder's but advised them to dispense them cleverly- family and friends ONLY ;)Ellys GSM Security Solutionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18362857916852272631noreply@blogger.com0
