Business Cards

I went through my pile of business cards and decided which ones are worth filing and which ones are not. I came across a few that amused me when I was first handed them. I don’t claim to have the best business card, but think I’ve narrowed it down to the essentials and they don’t cost me a fortune to print. If I could spend $200 on 500 business cards I would order my cards from BrooklynSocialCards.com. They do some first-class looking letterpress cards. Does a fantastic business card help your business, or is it more the case that a bad business card is detrimental? As long as the card stock isn’t too thin and there is enough information to get hold of the person immediately then that’s all is REALLY needed!

This first card gave me the impression that she was either desperate for any kind of employment, really full of herself or incredibly talented and had to be employed NOW! I met her assisting some photographers as a card runner during fashion week.

These small business cards seem to be in fashion right now. They include a variety of images on the back so each card you give out can be unique. I’ve found that they are the kind of card that’s lost really easily and hard to file. Do people really hold onto business cards or do they take them home and enter the information into their address books and throw them away? (Moo Cards)

This fashion designer had bedazzled his card which kind of makes sense if you knew his tie-dye pop clothing but doesn’t help with storing his card.

This last card is for a PR person who should probably buy a real domain name and write these inspirational messages on their fridge so when they eat their breakfast they can get the boost they so badly need.
