Hi All,

I am doing a favour to a friend of mine (to partly cover the restoration costs of my classic car), and I am inclined to put the address on the front, and some bullet points on the back with the serviceshe offers.
Do you think it's appropriate, or a compliment slip should only have the address on?
The company I work for, for instance, uses two versions, one with a blank back and one with a brief list of the services we offer.
Any suggestions?

I would prefer not to have advertising on a compliment slip. The firm's logo or name and contact details are fine.

[mudz]

hi steveb, that's my thought as well...
mmm

[mudz]

oh, and how about the address on the back? would it make sense having to turn the slip around in order to read it?

[steveb]

No, I think all the stuff goes on a postcard sized sheet of paper. It's usually preprinted with the words "With compliments" and has room to scrawl a signature and a few words of thanks or greetings. I don't think I've ever seen one which is intended to be turned over for more info.

With complients, logo/company name, address, phone number, email, website, company number if registered, vat number if applicable, room for short message.

Size should be 1/3 A4 -210x99mm (1/3 Letter in US - 8.5x3.6").

Should VERY closely match letterhead design.

NO advertising - would be tacky.

Totally aggree

All you need is the useful info no adverting

[mudz]

yep, that's what I did - useful info, no ads, as I felt.

regards.

Don't put 'With Compliments' on. It's so 90's. No need to put VAT details on either.

Since they're usually designed to accompany something else (e.g. a brochure) and rarely get sent out unattached, the advertising would seem somewhat redundant.

Comp-slips are usually a variation of the letterhead which is adjusted to fit DL size. No harm in listing the services on the reverse, imo - you could make a design feature of it.
