    It's me again, and this time it's not a logo design contest but rather a business card ad.

    Here's what I'm looking for -

    I need a business card sized ad, or slightly larger, for an email newsletter going out tomorrow AM. I received very short notice for this unfortunately so I can't let it go beyond 12:00AM EST tonight. I will announce the winner at or before midnight tonight.

    I want to highlight spring carpet and tile/grout cleaning services. Here's the website: www.rendallscleaning.com. Please use your imagination. We want the look to project extremely high quality and unmatched customer service.

    A $20 clip coupon needs to go in the ad somewhere as well.

    I do ask that it's in MS Publisher 2003 or Word 2003 format.

    Thanks pros!

    All -

    Wonderful! Here are some general comments:

    * This is not a business card, just the size of one. This is an ad.

    * It has to stand out and look different from a business card. It has to draw the viewer in.

    * The headline is always on top of an effective ad, so please leave the top open and move the components to the bottom.

    * I failed to mention - my fault - I prefer the coupon to be much larger so I can write in an expiration date and "coupon may not be combined" text.

    * I also prefer the coupon have a traditional font (@ Watari) and that it reads: $20 instead of 20$

    * Please add our website instead of the toll free # (again, my fault for not specifying - sorry!)

    So far I like Watari's the best but there are some great submissions and I haven't decided yet so please update and resubmit!

    Thanks, pros! They're looking good!
