Business cards

[Kyle87]

Where's the best place to get them. Online or find somewhere local. And how much do you normally spend.

Thanks much in advance

Just google it, you can get them for next to nothing, but then they just look like everybody else's. Hope this helps

69.99 + 7 pnp from a new contact for a 1000

Is that a good price then bod. I havnt yet looked into it so I really wouldn't know.

And what about the design. How do you normally go about creating the design?

Go on vistaprint. It's cheap as chips. I don't use business cards as I contract all my work, but on one contract I worked on they needed a business card and letterhead. I got 500 cards for about 4 quid. They look decent enough, just pay the extra couple of quid for the glossy finish. Job done

I have a brilliant piece of advice for you, especially if you use Vistaprint. Once you have made a final check on your design and you are happy with the spelling, they will ask you to tick a box to declare that you are sure the design is correct and that it will be printed exactly as it is. After doing so, if you decide you want to change something, make sure you re-check everything AGAIN, as I didn't and it took me back to the part of the design in which I'd made a spelling mistake and I stupidly clicked the declaration, with a spelling mistake and had 1000 business cards delivered that are now useless!!!

Spot the mistake......(it's not the blanked out bit for any smart arses!)

Bingo!! I had a bit of a tantrum when I spotted it! A box full of 1000 cards makes quite a noise as it bounces off a wall!

Woops... I'm sure you won't make that mistake twice.

But I could possibly lose more work than I'd gain. Would you trust someone to work on gas if they couldn't spell their profession? They are being used to light the BBQ if/when Summer comes around!
