Where did you get your business cards?

I used the online program that Staples has and then within 12 hours they had them printed and ready for me to pick them up.

Where did you get yours?

I am a customer of VP as well. The only difference with me is I get cash back when I order all products from them. I can send you the link to find out how you can as well. Just let me know.

Thanx and Have a Great Day!

How are you today? Are you still using VistaPrint for all your stationary products? If so, I can show you how you can get cash back from every purchase the same way I do. I can send the link to you for more information. By the way, it doesn't cost you a thing.

Have a Great Day!

I hope you have a great day.

I order my cards from Vista Print. To order I am using a Discount Home Shopping Club because I earn extra rewards points and cash back. Always is good to save caple dollars back.

The look of your business cards can actually hurt income because potential customers tend to form an opinion on your professionalism or your work standards based on the look of your marketing materials. Clients reveal to me they don't get asked to lower thier prices as much and thier new clients seem to be more accepting of set prices and fees. I posted a blog I think will be helpful to some, here is a re- post with some editing:

In today's world image means alot. The way we present ourselves to potential clients and contacts can make or break our businesses. To many times I have seen great businesses suffer sales because of poorly designed and printed advertisements and products. Here are some tips to make sure your ads are attracting and not repulsing.

1. Don't design your materials yourself- Unless you are a professional Graphic Designer, leave it to the experts. Design fees are not as expensive as you might think and the designs are yours to keep and reuse anywhere! I have seen too many business cards with blurry or distorted graphics and text, ragged edges (Avery's clean edge cards still have ragged edges!), and printed on copy paper or cheap card stock in water based inks that will smear when wet! Many non- designers know what they want but are not sure how to properly create it. Lot's of factors come into play: Licenses to use artwork, sizing, resolution, color matching, print quality, paper quality, ink quality, and design techniques are just a few things to worry about. It would be awful to use clipart from your favorite program only later to be sued by the company for using it in your ads or logo with out permission! Or to give a contact your card that is hard to read because of poor design or it got wet.

2. Don't print yourself!- With all the new gadgets, periphials, and programs it can be pretty tempting to print your own business cards and flyers. It's cheaper right? Wrong! Store bought ink and paper is significantly higher than getting your project printed with a printing company. Why? Volume. Printing companies buy materials in bulk which means lower costs per print. With store bought ink and paper for your home printer, you pay for alot: brand, packaging, shipping, the special cartrigages with computer chips. etc. Offset printing is cheaper per print and higher in quality!

3. Employ a Designer who uses offset printing- Great designers don't mean great printing quality. Some Graphic Designers don't print at all, they just design your materials and leave you to find your own printing company. What's bad about that? Most printing companies will only print for established designers and businesses which will leave you to print your fabulously designed business cards on your home printer. A Big No No!

4. Invest in your image- Some companies offer "free" business cards and post cards to draw you in. Unknowingly consumers are charged hidden fees and other charges to compensate for the loss. These companies often print thier ads on the back of YOUR cards and flood your inbox with spam to get you to buy more. You also get the lowest quality inks and paper available and overused templates, further cheapening the image of your brand. Invest the money it takes to compete with the competition! Professional quality designing and printing of your marketing materials is a must if you want your products and services to be taken seriously. You will actually lose money by trying to save money on your ads!

Thank you for reading. I hope this helped you! Check out my page and website when you can and email me! :D

I actually have mine printed on fridge magnets as they are different in feel and people look at them for longer and when they want you. There you are on the firdge or the office filing cabinet. They are more expensive but work really well. I would also suggest putting your web site on everything including business cards. Beacuse the moe hits you web page gets the higher it is ranked on search engines.

Regards,

Darren

The business cards are worth gold for the simple reason they attract new customers/clients very easily.
I used to use business cards from Vista print, until a friend recommeded mobile marketing business cards, and everyone loves them.; ▶ Reply to This
