Nothing catches a customer’s eye like an attractive business card, calendar, poster, brochure or mailer with a great design. The Brother “Back to Business” Contest at BizSugar (our sister site) gives you a chance to exercise your creativity designing stylish printed materials for your company — FREE.

And there’s an even better reason to get involved.

Brother, a manufacturer of printers and related business products, has built a powerful Web tool that let’s you design eye-popping, mind-blowing, attention-grabbing business cards and other printed marketing materials.

You don’t need graphic design experience. Nor do you need to purchase expensive design software. In fact, all you need is a few clicks of your mouse to create unforgettable designs that will define your brand and make your customers remember your name.

Once you’ve created and saved your design, you can print your final creation right at your desktop, on your printer. Sound interesting? There’s more.
