I just finished designing my new marketing materials - and they are off to the printer! SOOOO exciting!!! These are my new rack cards for my yoga classes. Basically like a business card/postcard/flyer all in one! :) Most bang for the buck, I say! Isn't that right in line with my simplify ideal? Very pleased with myself! haha!

So they are two sided - above is the front side (obviously) and on the back side: 

I list out all the classes. I figured it's so much easier this way than directing them here, there and everywhere to get the info. Literally ALL the info that is available is on this card! It makes me happy! 

This is a BIG jump for me. I've really just started out and its been word of mouth/friends for my clientele. So this is my first marketing attempt out in the great big world. Deep breath in.... hope it goes well! ;) 

What do you think? If you saw this card at the counter of your beauty shop, day spa, etc would you be intrigued enough to pick it up and see what it's about? If you have never practiced yoga before... would you try it out for $8? And what WOULD make you want to try it? Going with a friend? A free class? I'd love to hear your ideas!!! 

As knitters... do you practice yoga? Would it be something you would be interested in trying? How about a Yarn & Yoga workshop... or retreat? These are ideas that I am intrigued by. I'd love to get your thoughts on it. In the future... I'd really like to put together a Yarn & Yoga retreat. What could be better than playing with yarn all day knitting away and then stretching and relaxing it all away with yoga? And don't forget to finish off the day with a gourmet meal and maybe, just maybe, a glass of wine? I don't know about you... but that is MY PERFECT DAY! 

Give me your thoughts and I'll enter you in for a Free Pattern giveaway! Winner will be announced Friday, August 7th.
