I use Coastal Impressions for all my printing. They do design, mailings, and web design.

Business Cards should be looked at like mini billboards. One common mistake that alot of people make is putting their business name at the top of their card! EG. If you fix broken TV’s…rather then put “John’s TV Repairs” at the top, you would be better off putting “Your TV Fixed in 2 Days or You Don’t Pay!”
Putting an eye-catching headline is key…just like when you read a newspaper, you look for the headline that interests you and read the article…a business card is the same.

Great idea…I’ve never thought about order small quantities and changing them all the time.

I used http://www.printsmadeeasy.com and put my own picture on the background. The card came out great, better than I could have expected.

Another option is having two-sided cards with English on one side and a translation on the other. There are amny sites online that do this, but for business card translation I went with a company was called LunaConcepts.com, service was quick and professional. It’s a nice service and could really make a difference if your desired job is an international one.

My favorite card was a “creative license” from a local ad agency that looked exactly like a driver’s license. Not sure where they got it, but it was very effective. I’ve still got it around here somewhere …

One of my favorites is John Moore’s from Brand Autopsy, it’s in the shape of a toe tag, with a string on it

To be honest, Harry…I have about 1,000 of my own business cards in a box in a closet somewhere, and I’ve never thought they were of much use (or given their lack of use much thought).
Thanks for a fresh perspective on the value of a better card.

Harry,
A subject close to my heart and one I wrote about recently for the Ideas Bank section of my website. I also believe that your business card is a valueable business tool and marketing opportunity – in fact apart fror my website it is my only marketing collateral.
It tells people what I do, how I do it and has a call to action, hopefull all presented from my ideal clients perspective. To see my card and read more about business cards and their value here’s a link to some info http://www.onestepfurther.co.uk/welcome_to_the_ideas_bank/the_value_of_a_great_business_card.phtml
