Do you have a job title?

[Former_Member]

I am making new business cards to go with my new graphics that I just had designed (yea!). My husband says I should put a job title on my card, but not sure what to say. Owner, CEO, Chief Crafter???

Does anyone out there have a job title?

Thanks!

I am "Knitter/Designer" on my card.

I didn't go with a job title on mine (in fact I didn't have a job title on the cards I had when I worked for an agency either). As my company is my actual name, it seemed fairly obvious what my role in the company is and sometimes it can add clutter to the design and feel a bit forced - maybe stay clear of CEO type things for a small, sole trader business.

A fun title can work well as it makes it more memorable, Chief Crafter, Genius Behind It All or Boss maybe.

It's not always necessary so do whatever you feel is right for you and your brand.

I used to put 'Homme du Monde' on mine.
It was pretty tongue in cheek but there's a reliance on other people having a sense of humour.

I found that you can't take that for granted. ;)

Yarn Wrangler would be my choice for myself!

i say if you're going to give yourself a title go big or go home.

crafter extraordinaire!

My cards would have to be too big....
- designer
- artist
- creator
- shop manager
- pr manager
- administration manager
- sales manager
- creative director
etc.

But my cards are about my shop, rather then about me, so they read:
William's Giftshop
"exclusive handmade gifts"

I used Owner.....the list would be too long to put on a card. : )

My business cards say "Textile Artist" - I figure that covers me whether I am cross stitching, knitting, or designing patterns.

I didn't put any title on my business cards. Just my name.

Happy Hooker and Bling Babe

I get a few looks from that, until I explain I'm a crocheter.

I recommend you come up with something descriptive, but memorable. A snappy "job title" can make your business memorable. eg. "Crafter Extraordinaire" (probably want to trademark it, too)

..hehe I see someone else suggested this title, but you see what we mean!

When I ordered my cards, I was able to fit my full title on there:

Chief Papercutter & Coffee Drinker

It always gets a laugh, and people totally get that you do it all!

[PiecesOfMePaperCraft]

I didn't put my name or title on my business cards. Just shop name, shop description, email and shop address.

I feel so left out now. :(

well, at home I prefer my kids call me supreme dictator of all I survey (they won't, but a girl can try). I don't think that would go over so well on business cards but I see I may need to put some effort into this with all the great ideas out there

I don't have a job title on my business card, but I call myself a "jewelry wordsmith." :)
