Yummy designs. We have printed up some freebies through Vistaprint just to get us started but I know we'll need to do better.

Hi Michelle,

I also did the "freebie's" through Vista (but ended up paying the extra to have their name deleted from the back) and this was weeks ago.....still haven't received them. SInce then I desperately needed some business cards, so ended up creating my own and printing some out myself. I think I will end up sending the design off to a local printer to get them done. I didn't realise just how vital it was to take business cards EVERYWHERE I go....I carry them in my daughter's nappy bag (lol).

Hi everyone! Great Ideas!!

I opted to design and print my own business cards because that is a service I offer to start-up businesses who are strapped for cash. I know most 'advisors' tell us to have cards printed, but most of the cards I've seen are not handled or viewed any different than the one's I printed, so I bought the highest quality paper that would work in my MFC.

I used the advice in The Virtual Assistant's Guide to Marketing by Michelle Jamison to design the shape and colors of my logo.

And, Michelle, taking your biz cards EVERYWHERE is a wonderful idea!

I was walking down the street yesterday to pick up my kids from school. I met up with another mom who I don't know well but we began chatting. It turns out she runs a home-based bookkeeping business. She asked me for my business card and guess what: I didn't have any! Lesson learned.

You just never know when someone will ask for your biz card. I'll be carrying some in every coat pocket from now on

I saw a great one today at a networking meeting that I attended. It was for a window cleaning company, and it was window panes that were see through and all of the writing was on the "window borders". Really cool.

Hi I have been looking for a business card holder, somethng on to a wallet type holder to keep by business cards together. I find that, even, if they are in a pocket of my hand-bag or any bag they seem to get "lost" and I think it looks a little unprofessional if you have to search for them. Does anyone have something like that?
