Specs, Pricing, and Paper Options for Counter Cards

4OVER4 Counter Cards come in a range of sizes and paper stocks so you can match the look and feel to your brand. Thicker stocks create a rigid, self-standing card that holds up in busy retail environments. Lighter options work well for high-volume promotional runs where you're distributing in bulk.

Every order earns you points through the Loyalty Program, which you can redeem toward future prints. Pair your counter cards with other point-of-sale materials like 4OVER4 Banner Stands for a complete display setup that turns heads.

Where Counter Cards Work Hardest for Your Business

Counter Cards aren't just for retail shops. They're versatile marketing tools that fit into dozens of real-world scenarios. Here are some of the most effective ways businesses put them to work.

Restaurant and Cafe Promotions

Place counter cards near the register to promote daily specials, loyalty programs, or catering services. A sturdy, full-color card sitting next to the tip jar gets read while customers wait for their order.

Salon and Spa Upsells

Hair salons and spas use 4OVER4 Counter Cards at checkout to promote new treatments, product lines, or gift card specials. They're small enough to fit on a styling station but bold enough to start a conversation.

Real Estate Open Houses

Agents set counter cards on kitchen counters and entryway tables with property details, QR codes linking to virtual tours, and contact information. They look polished and professional without cluttering the space.

Trade Show Tables

At events, counter cards act as silent salespeople. They highlight your key message, pricing tiers, or product features while you're busy talking to another prospect. 4OVER4 prints them with vivid color that pops under convention lighting.

"I used these for my booth at a wellness expo. People kept picking them up and asking about my services. Best $40 I spent on marketing that month."

Design Tips to Make Your Counter Cards Stand Out

A great counter card grabs attention in under two seconds. That means your design needs to do the heavy lifting fast. Here's how to get it right.

Keep Your Message Short

You've got a small canvas. Lead with one clear headline and one call to action. Don't cram three promotions onto a single card. Pick your strongest offer and let it breathe.

Use High-Contrast Colors

Counter cards compete with everything else on a countertop - receipts, tip jars, product displays. Bold color combinations like dark text on a bright background make your card impossible to ignore.

Include a QR Code

Bridge the gap between physical and digital. A QR code on your 4OVER4 Counter Cards can link to a menu, booking page, or special discount. It turns a static print piece into an interactive experience.

Mind the Bleed and Safe Zone

Keep important text and logos within the safe zone so nothing gets trimmed during production. Extend background colors and images to the bleed line for a clean, edge-to-edge finish.
