One of the major aspects in business card printing is the color of the cards. Color business cards provide a way to customize your business card with your own personal look. For certain, business card printing companies are ready to print custom business cards with every color of the rainbow. A client is always right, so if you want to print business cards with your favorite color like electric pink, then why not?

Of course keep in mind that colors have their meanings. So your color business cards will not only give your pertinent details to someone, they will also display your personality and image. It is important to know how colors are perceived by people and how this will affect their perception of you. To help you choose a color for your business card, below is a list of the common colors of business cards and their perceived meanings. Choose well and choose wisely.

Standard White First of course, we have the standard white. Almost everybody uses white business cards. If you are just starting out in business card printing then white is probably the safest choice. A white business card is of course universally accepted, and all kinds of designs and images work with white. It is basically a blank canvass to work on really. Of course, be aware that since white is the standard color; it tends to be the most boring and mundane. Almost everybody has a white business card, how will you stand out?

Elegant Black Black is well, interesting. As the saying goes, you can pair any color with black. Since it contrasts almost any kind of color, a black business card definitely stands out in the sea of white and colored business cards. Black is a nice solid color to use and a lot of business card printing companies are equipped to print them. Add that with contrasting silver or gold lettering and you have a nice and elegant color business card.

The Red Card The red business card is of course something eye catching. If a woman in a red dress speaks of a subtle beauty and passion, then that is how a red business card operates. Of course not everyone can pull off a red business card. It depends on your personality and of course your industry. But there is no question of the impact of a red business card. It turns eyes and roller decks.

Subdued colors On the general side of color business cards, subdued and light colors are the best way to use color business cards without straying too much from a safe white business card. The subtle hint of color adds some personality to a business card and it doesn’t risk an intense reaction like a red or black business card. Of course, subdued and light colors still have a few qualities that are like standard white business cards. Unfortunately they can also run into the same pitfalls.

Bright Colors Brighter and fuller colors of course offer the complete impact of your chosen favorite color. Using these kinds of colors makes your business card more personal and it gives its own unique impact. A pink or neon green business card for example may gain looks. However this may also run the risk of looking too unprofessional. The safest way to use full bright colors is to only use one color at the most. If you use more color combinations, it might look cute, but it will also look more informal. This if course depends on your industry. If you are into a more casual line of work it may be fine, but for corporate types this might be frowned upon.

So have you chosen a color? Achieve a balance between your personality and your business environment and you should have the correct business card color to choose from. Be as eye catching and as decent looking as possible with color business cards.

“You’ve probably read in the newspapers of various celebrities and successful business who manage to avoid or at least substantially reduce their UK taxes – whilst a significant proportion of the general public are paying close to 50% of their income in tax. Well, there’s nothing to prevent you using some of these techniques to slash your UK taxes as well, depending on your circumstances.

Here’s some of the techniques that the Rich & famous use:

Make the most of your offshore status

People like Mohammad al Fayed make tremendous use of their non UK domiciled status. If you’re an overseas national and were born overseas (typically your father will also have been a non UK domiciliary at the date of your birth) you can avoid paying any tax on your overseas income and capital gains. The main condition to this is that you need to keep the income or proceeds outside of the UK. As you’d expect though there are ways around this to enable some of the proceeds and income to be brought into the UK free of taxes

Make the most of your spouses offshore status

If you’re lucky enough to have a husband or wife that is either non UK resident or non UK domiciled you can use their offshore status to your advantage. This is what Philip Green did (the billionaire owner of BHS). His wife is a resident of Monaco and he ensured that she extracted dividends from his UK companies free of UK (and overseas) tax. This saved him paying UK tax of around £200Million that he would have otherwise had to pay if he’d extracted the dividends.

Using a tax efficient holding company.

Famous bands such as U2 and the Rolling stones make use of some of the best offshore companies to avoid paying tax on much of their income. U2 for example used to fall within the Irish tax regime which had a longstanding tax exemption for artists. When this loophole was tightened up, they moved their holding company to the Netherlands to take advantage of tax free royalties. There are lots of other countries that can also offer tax efficient holding companies such as Spain, Denmark and Cyprus. Using tax efficient trading companies.

Multinationals such as Coca Cola make good use of a string of offshore companies to ensure that they can redistribute profits within the group to reduce the overall ‘effective’ rate of corporation tax. (It is reducing this effective rate that is the main focus of many in house tax lawyers lives!)

Actually move overseas Celebrities such as James Blunt, Michael Schumacher and Boris Becker have all moved offshore to ensure they have only limited UK tax obligations. They’ve based themselves in Switzerland and are local residents. The beauty of Switzerland is the ‘fiscal deal’ which allows the tax liability to be fixed at an artificially low amount.

So there you have it – some ideas to get you thinking about how you could use the offshore tax planning techniques of the rich and famous. For more detailed articles on offshore tax visit www.wealthprotectionreport.co.uk

Have you thought about trying a collagen mask that you saw advertised in hopes of making yourself look younger? Just remember that you have to take what a cosmetics company claims that their new collagen gel remedy will do with a grain of salt. There is a lot of false advertising out there, as you should already know.

I have heard all of the claims that have been made about what each companies collagen mask can do for you, and I have to tell you that you cannot believe the majority of the things that they are saying. The claims that they are making for their products are not even scientifically feasible.

For one thing the vast majority of the companies offering a collagen gel remedy are selling you a product where the main active ingredient has not been rendered to a form that is conducive with easy absorbability. Few people realize that the natural molecular density of collagen makes it too large to be readily absorbed by your skin.

So unless a company has undertaken the extra expense involved with processing a nano-emulsified form of this ingredient then their highly self touted collagen mask simply cannot work. The truth is that even if the collagen is rendered in a fashion that makes it available to your skin it really won’t be of much good to you.

This is because all that a collagen gel remedy will do for you is that it will add a little bit of extra collagen to your skin. Now I know that you are probably thinking that that is exactly what you wanted the product to do, but this is not the best method that is available for making your skin look younger.

What a collagen mask is actually doing is allowing a miniscule dose of extra collagen in through your skin, but the downside is that there is not enough collagen being absorbed to make much of a difference. That collagen will also begin to degrade within a very short period of time, and will quickly be absorbed into the body.

Your best bet for having success with a collagen gel remedy would be to buy the line of products being produced by a company in New Zealand. Their products don’t actually contain any collagen, but they do contain an array of specifically chosen proteins that will actually cause your body to begin to re-grow collagen.

Their collagen mask contains what is known as Functional Keratin, which is the peptide protein blend that I mentioned. Functional Keratin has been clinically proven to promote large increases in the body’s collagen and elastin. This increase will result in you having younger looking skin, and it is guaranteed and clinically proven to work.

This is the type of effective ingredient you need in order to be successful at attaining younger looking skin, not some collagen gel remedy that cannot produce the results that it promises. If you want a collagen mask that really works then buy one that includes Functional Keratin.
