I was thinking I should get something printed up that I can hand out to people.
Employee
Ah. Well, actually, I just printed up some great-looking flyers for someone doing the same thing.

Well, we did once. I think tho bright pieces of paper would be real attention getters. You know, student u them all the time, so they should be good for business. I don’t know why we haven’t done more.
Student
Wow.
Employee
So you’ve got some options.
Student
Right. Well, what about business cards? My friend has the business cards. She does tutoring too. And she got them at this place in town, but they were kind of expensive.
Employee
For business card? Well, I don’t know what your friend paid. But we could do something real simple and it wouldn’t be much. Like for a batch of 250 for one of our standard designs, 20 dollars maybe.
Student
20 dollars sounds okay.
Employee
Now, there are some other choices that’ll affect the cost. 少年派的奇幻漂流 下载You know, like different background patters, using color ink, that sort of thing. And it also depends on how many
words you want to include.
Student
Ok. Well, I know what I want them to say. But I am just thinking, 加拿大留学行李清单I kind of like that pencil idea.
Employee
Yeah. I thought it was neat. Now, of cour you can only fit your name and phone number, and like, in your ca, math tutoring on it.
Student
Right. Well, I could custom design the business cards through, right? That’s what my friend did. She said she designed them at the computer right there at the print shop.
Employee
Well, you can do that here too. But a custom design would be a bigger investment for your business than one of our standard designs.
Student
Well, I don’t know. I am interested in business cards, so can I look at the standard designs?
