We’ve all heard the adage that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. It’s true, of course. This is especially important to remember in business. Part of that first impression is the business card. If you’re dealing with (or want to be dealing with) high-end customers, you might want to think about a high-end business card. Kodak Creative Network can help you with that part. Right now, they’re offering 50 full color business cards for $0. You pay only the shipping ($11).
Kori recently blogged about the importance of having a concise title that reflects what you do. She commented that if you want to run with the big dogs, you need to set yourself apart. Imagine the possibilities if you follow her suggestions and leave a good first impression, including a professional card.
The cards themselves come in three sizes: the standard business card, a square card, and a shorter card. It seems to me that the square card may be a problem to put in a wallet, but might be good if you needed to put a large photo on the card to get your message across (I’m thinking of a quilting square). The shorter one looks very sleek, but will it fit all of your information?
The full color extends to the back of the card. That means your card can have double the info, or a clever slogan, or gorgeous photo on the flip side. The cards are printed on cardstock in either glossy or matte finish. Both .pdf and .jpg files are accepted for printing.
If your business is largely virtual and you don’t think you’ll use them, consider getting some as a gift. I’m a true geek and Frugal Queen, so this marries the two. I had some of these made up for my mother for her birthday present. She writes Latin books and travels throughout the country speaking. I’m going to score major points at little cost! Some deals are just too good to pass up, even if we don’t need them for ourselves.
The offer ends 02/28/07, and is limited to one per family or household. You must register (free) with Kodak Creative Network to be eligible.
