Default Address on business card
I am getting ready to print my business cards. I was wondering if I should put an address on the business card. I have a PO box to receive business mail. I don't want to put my physical address on the business card since we work virtually and there is no need for clients to come to my house.

What does everyone else do about this?

Personally I use the business cards I have for quick reference. So I would definitely put your business mailing address on them. I think of a business card as a contact card. 'This is where to get a hold of me and my information' kind of tool.

I would agree with Kristi. Many business's have made a name for themselves with just their business card. You want people to know how to contact you...even if in this day and age, and the business we are in it is contact via snail mail

To your success!

I have always used a P.O. Box on my business cards. This is a carry over from my corporate jobs. We never used our physical address on our business cards and I agree with you. I prefer doing business either electronically, over the phone or if in person then at there place of business since I provide a service and feel there is no need in meeting in my home. If they prefer snail mail, your use of a PO Box should not be a problem unless you do not check it as promised.

I think it is a personal preference. I chose to use my P.O. Box on my business cards instead of my physical address. All of my business is done from my home and I would hate for someone to just show up at my door.

My P.O. Box is my mailing address, so that is the one I use. I would never put my home address down.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.
I will put my PO Box on the business cards.
You ladies are so awesome to share all your information with others.
I will be happy when I have information that might help somebody.

I put my address on my business cards too. Never thought about getting an address from the UPS store - good idea though.
