I ordered business cards this week!

The last time I needed business cards, it was way back in 1999 when I ran my website for moms. I ordered something like 1000 and never went through them all. I drew the artwork for those cards and paid too much for a local printer to make them for me. They were cute, but costly. I attended a focus group recently, and all of the cool bloggers there swapped business cards, and I didn’t have anything to give to them. Me, with all of the blogs, and nary a business card! I decided that I’d order cards in time for my big blogger event in November, so I did just that earlier this week.

Having heard a lot about Vista Print and their great deals on business cards (they offer free business cards too!) I decided to check out their site. I didn’t go with the free cards, but I didn’t cost me all that much to come up with a really cute design using some of their clipart. They offered me several different layout and font choices, AND I got to pick the colors for the card as well. I’m so pleased with how the proof looked, and I can’t wait to get them in my hands. I didn’t know how many customization options I’d have when I ordered business cards online, but I was really thrilled with all of the choices. The 250 cards I ordered only cost me $3.99 plus shipping, which is a steal. I was even able to select colors that match my blog theme, so when people get my business card, and then go to the URL on the card, everything will match. It’s all about branding, baby!
