    Business Cards

    Anyone willing to show off their business card?
    I want to have some made up but, haven't seen any scrapper's business cards from which to get an idea as to what I may want them to look like.
    I don't want to copy anyone's design. I'm just looking for ideas.

    Skippy, it only costs about $3.79 per 100 at Walmart in the office section, pick up a pack of do-it-yourself business cards. Go to Avery website and there's a card builder with all kinds of logo's/icon's or whatever you want to call them. You design them on your computer and print them out a sheet at a time. Looks a lot more professional when your networking with people.

    vistaprint usually has a deal where you get the cards for free and just pay the shipping. You can get 250 cards for $10, and they are great quality.

    Just checked on a bulletin board where I had left one of my business cards - some !@#$ had written his or her phone number and had stuck it over the phone number on my card! And yes I did take it down and he/she will be hearing from me.

    Nothing like someone being just plain too lazy to make up there own card. Bad enough people are stealing scrap, now they're stealing advertising??

    That is just plain messed. I would contact police to to see what be done from a legal stand point. That is your reputation on the line.

    Only one card? Are people supposed to write down the number or call/add to their phone? I guess most people do that now a days, though I like to leave several cards in a fan pattern, or hang a flyer with ph # tear offs.
