Printing business cards from your vouchers

What are voucher business cards?

For a free voucher, Golfly makes a printable business card. The front shows your photo, name, "Golfprofessional", phone number and website. The back shows the offer in Dutch: "GRATIS lesson type" with the normal price and "voor jou gratis" (free for you), plus a QR code to your voucher link. The code is not on the card; scanning redeems it.

Step 1: prepare the voucher

1. Under Admin → Vouchers, create a voucher with discount Free. For a percentage or a fixed amount there are no cards yet; you will see "Print materials only for free vouchers in v1".
2. Choose a lesson type under Lesson type. If you leave it empty, the back only says "GRATIS" and "€0". The price is rounded to whole euros.
3. Put a photo of yourself under Admin → Promotion, tab Link page, at Photo. Without a photo Golfly uses your logo, and that does not look good with Classic and Bold.
4. Check the Limit and Expires of the voucher. A card in someone's wallet only works as long as the voucher is active; if you deactivate it, the QR code stops working.

Step 2: download your files

1. Open the voucher and scroll to Print materials.
2. Choose one of the five templates: Classic (with photo), Bold (eye-catching), Minimal (calm), Sport (dynamic) or Soft (warm). The previews are made on the spot and may take a moment to load.
3. For that template, click Front and Back. You get two PNG files with a long, random name; give them a name of your own.

You can also copy the same voucher link on the voucher page, for your own QR code on flyers.

Step 3: upload to a printer

Any online printer with an upload form will work. Enter these settings:

• Format: 85 × 55 mm, double-sided.
• Bleed: 3 mm. The files are 1075 × 721 pixels, which is 91 × 61 mm at 300 dpi, so that includes the 3 mm all around.
• Paper: for example 350 gsm matt.

Two things to watch. The files do not contain dpi information, so enter the size yourself if the printer asks for it. And the text sits fairly close to the edge, so check the printer's proof carefully before you order.

How many cards should I order?

Start small and reorder once you see how fast they go. Hand cards out after a trial lesson or a clinic, or leave them at the front desk of your club.

Does the printer ask for something you do not recognise? Email support@golfly.nl with a screenshot.
