I started using plastic cards originally for special meetings I had. Each time I used a plastic business card the response from the person I gave the card to was always "wow" or "what a great business card". As time went buy I started using more and more plastic business cards giving them out in place of the older style cardboard cards. Sure the plastic cards cost more but I could see the professional look it gave me and instantly i stood out from my competitors because of the card. I had a point of difference instantly. As time went buy and I had made myself several designs to use on my business cards depending on who I was going to meet I needed to prepare some cards for a trade show I was attending. My products are sold into the construction industry so I decided to create a plastic business card just for the construction industry trade show....As I started thinking about my first design I was overwhelmed with ideas about what I could do. I created my first trade show business card and on the front was the usual stuff, name, company logo, phone number, email address etc and on the back of the plastic business card I put a crisp clean picture that i Googled the picture is of some timber beams and a hammer about to hit a nail into the timber beam on top of a fading green background. The hammer is the cleanest brand new hammer you have ever seen. The end result was incredible and was so easy to create I Googled "construction industry pictures" and decided to create a second card, I found a picture of 5 excavators lined up on a dirt construction site like 5 racehorses striding step by step together towards the finish line. The picture was an awesome picture and I added this to my second template and created my second plastic business card for the trade show. My head was spinning with ideas now about building product specific plastic business card, I realised I could create anything I could think off or Google. I wanted to build two more plastic business cards for the trade show so I had a set of four cards. I wanted to create something that might resonate deeper with the over 40 year old construction guys and I remembered the great comedy Home Improvement with Tim Allen. Who could forget about Tim the tool man Taylor.....and I remembered tool time and the tool time girl called Heidi. I thought to myself what about a picture of a tool time girl, I Googled again and found an incredibly sharp picture for the plastic business card of a girl dressed in bright Orange top and shorts, with a yellow hard hat and yellow safety vest flying open in the breeze. She had a tool belt of course complete with hammer, pliers, screwdriver and more. This girl in the picture also had on a pair of what looked like Blundstone work boots with low clean white socks. My final card was a simple "Under Construction" picture in bright orange with the words under construction looking like a set of bricks creating a brick wall and a yellow hard hat on top of the word "under" this card was looking very much like a construction card. The plastic business card that was most popular by far at the trade show with the builders and contractors was the tool time girl, my next trade show I will make sure I have double the amount of this card. Now I can build a plastic business card for any event, product or situation and every time I am standing out from the competition. Thanks very much Magicard for assisting me with my requirements, I do stand out now from everyone else....... Peter Managing Director JobClock Australia |

The 5 Problems with Manual Visitor Management |
|
Do you currently run a manual Visitor Management system? There are many types of manual visitor management systems today, we have supplied for years Visitor Management books from companies like Kalamazoo, Zion and others. You will know them to if you use these manual Visitor Management books today. There are many issues associated with any manual visitor management system today, Just ask the person running your manual visitor management system what problems they have.....Ill bet they have more than half of this list. - Cant read the writing of the person who wrote in the book!
- Visitor does not fill in company details correctly!
- Visitor forgets to right down the time they arrived!
- You still need to ask the visitor who they are after they have signed your book!
- Visitor leaves and we actually do not have any legible information to know who the visitor was!
Truth is, in many situations it’s fine to be vague about how we describe ourselves or how we record time. It’s no problem rounding to the nearest 15 minutes or so when asked “how long until we leave for the movies”. But in a visitor management system used to determine who is on location ... unacceptable Your reception or admin staff running your visitor management system may be losing 10 minutes a day managing the manual system, 10 minutes per day is 41 hours per year.....should you continue with your manual visitor management book? What are the 5 biggest problems with Manual Visitor Management Systems? Let me walk you through these issues and give you a link to watch a demonstration on how to resolve them..... Problem #1: Dealing with inaccurate manual systems - I'll show you how to take the guess-work out of Visitor and Contractor sign-in books, and eliminate "dumb entries" forever! Problem #2: Difficulty in managing visitors across multiple locations/sites - You'll learn how to make visitor tracking just as easy across 10 sites as it is for 1! Problem #3: Identifying and Reporting who is on location in real-time - Get complete transparency of who visits your location. Discover who is on location now, who was on location previously, and if the visitor is a contractor, whether their invoice for their time reconciles with how long they were actually on location for. Problem #4: Wasting your receptionists or security teams precious hours (or days!) tracking down staff when their visitor arrives - It's the 21st Century. These days your receptionist shouldn't have to waste precious time phoning, emailing, and looking for staff just to advise them that they have a visitor. I'll reveal exactly why you won't have to put up with this pain for much longer... Problem #5: Unable to access evacuation reports to tell us who is on location - most regular visitor management systems were designed to operate on a reception kiosk PC or with a server environment in mind – making getting an evacuation report out of them impossible when you are standing outside in the car park of your location. You'll find out how to get real-time evacuation reports for any location plus a heap more - including the ability to send Head Counts via SMS to your safety / floor wardens. I know this one will blow you away! Regardless of how many visitors you get per day, it could be 2 visitors per day and it could be 2002 visitors per day, you need to consider a better system than your current manual visitor manual system.

Read how Swimming Club made money from introduction of ID Card Printer |
|
I spoke with David recently and here is his story as he told it to me.....
I first became involved in my daughters swimming club in Western Sydney when my daughter was 8 years old. Swimming was an easy choice, as we were always swimming weekends at home in the pool, on holidays at the beach and weekly swimming lessons. I always thought swimming was a great sport and was good exercise for the kids as well. What I did not know at the time, was my daughter was turning out to be a natural swimmer and proving to be a very competitive one, but that is another story for another day.
As my daughter started winning race after race surprising her mum and dad week after week, it was inevitable that I was to become more involved with the swimming club. I got involved firstly with training, I took my daughter to training a couple of times per week sharing the load with my wife, I started to assist the coaches & trainers get equipment out for the kids, then moved onto race days, helping with the organisation of the races and general help needed within the club on race days.
Eventually I took on one of the top jobs in the swimming club - unpaid of course, these are jobs of love, my daughter was winning major carnivals now across the state, and I took on the role of Vice President of the swimming club. I felt with so much involvement I could add value to the swimming club and the kids. After watching my daughter over the past couple of years grow into a competitive swimmer I knew that I could help other kids do the same.
As the Vice President of the swimming club I had many hats to wear to look after all my duties, communication, reporting to the board, as well as thinking about membership, marketing and sales, events and swim teams. One of the first major issues that occurred after I became Vice President was one of the kids did not have the funds required to attend one of the upcoming meets.
I knew I could impact this, and set about thinking of ways we could raise funds for our swimming club. We had done sausage sizzles to raise funds, we had ticket sales with prizes to the winners. Fund raising for our swimming club was always talked about, and to me appeared to be one of the biggest challenges we had, as funds raised helped the kids. If we raised less funds from fund raising this only ever impacted the kids, equipment for the kids etc. I remember thinking about fund raising, membership, kids equipment and then I got an idea! I grabbed a piece of paper while sitting down in the stands watching my daughter train, I remember the day it was one of those middle of winter days when the outside temperature had dropped to around 5 degrees. I started writing bullet point ideas and thoughts.....then out came an idea....what if we had a membership card that all members could buy for 10 dollars, I could go to local companies and ask them to advertise on the back of the card for an amount of money and offer members a discount at the stores that advertise on the back of the card.
Great idea I thought, took it to the committee and as they do, came to a decision "Unless we can fund it ....it will never happen"
The Outcome was awesome,
* we raised 10 dollars for every membership card sold * 6 local businesses were proud to be supporting the local swimming club with discounts for members * The money raised paid for the Magicard ID Card Printer * Every card after this cost us 70 cents and we sold for 10 dollars * We made the card an annual card Swimming Club example | Magicard Printer Cost
