There are to many depressing, argumentative, posts on here lately so on a lighter note :

I'm looking for some inspiration for a new batch of business cards, here's a picture of the last one I had done.

Be interesting to see who's got the most cool, bitchin, slammin, outa site ..........  : ( best looking business card )

Never underestimate the power of a cool BC ( didn't you see the movie American Psycho? ) 

Its all about the look baby, if you walk into that huge office block with wall to wall manky carpets and you knock em dead with a killer sales pitch only to ruin all that hard work when you slam down your 85 x 55 off white 15 gram crumpled excuse for a business card with 'Vista Print' stamped in the corner.

So upload a picky and lets see who's the daddy. List the suppliers name too.

Mine are from ......... Can't remember  The guy in Hull lots of us use !!

i personaly think vista print do an ok job, and i think its just as much to do with quantity as with quality,

we used to spend loads on luxury cards but then too scared to give them away, now we get through

about 250 a week and for us serves a much better purpose, after all its about reaching as many people
 
as possible,

I rarely marvel at someones business card, just put it somewhere handy so can use it in future.

Oh dear steve - you said a swear word as far as derek is concerned - I await his comments as always!

(Steve I totally agree - can get great cards from vistaprint, I also get the postcards which when I hand them over people seem impressed, also got magnets on side of my car too)

I,m happy with vista print, as already pointed out you can give hundreds away ,

to me it doesnt really matter , i leave at least half a dozen with custys, I leave no end of cards with other service sectors and I always give a handful to practicly anyone I talk to .

maybe some get thrown away, but i,ve had calls from custys saying I got your card from my decorator/plumber/gardener   etc.

the more out their the better.

ps paul . is that a card or a flyer ? to be honest not impressed , i think it looks very dull .

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I bet it would better in gloss, I had some done by Vista and they look better than the non gloss and last longer.

Its a card Geoff, if you mean dull colour it's because the camera, if you mean dull as in ' It looks sh** ' thats also correct.

I think vistaprint cards are great value. I my opinion you generally hand out cards to customers or potential customers you have met,  so I think you dont have to impress them with the best business card in the world. Its not like a flyer you're delivering to complete strangers which you want to impress. So as long as a business is not completely naff then cheap and average isnt a bad thing.

Dont think just because the business card is good it will get you extra work :

[Peter Blackburn]

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Nice, are you still doing your refer a friend discount card

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Hi Shaun

yes every custy gets at least 3 and the 10% card too.

Cheers Goron

Ps. i have been getting mine from vistaprint but do the design myself, i have however just realised that printcarrier are far cheaper!

[cleanability]

Just been to printcarrier. £56 for 1000 cards isnt cheaper by a long way.

Chris

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Don't know what you are looking at but i have just been on there and for 5000 business cards in better quality than vistaprint are £54.05 including vat

[JandS]

Vista Print in gloss are fine by me and you can design your own.
There websites are pretty good and affordable too.
I use the businees cards as leaflets and post 'em.
