Very true, Mike, but a good impression with nice cards lends great support for all the other things you do right to run a successful business. If the only thing I have is a card that fails to impress in some way, stage 2 of my buying process will not likely be reached.

Re: Time For New Business Cards.


Your business card is the front line of your "marketing plan". It needs to be designed toward your target, or niche. If you're trading cards with working class professionals, then VISTA, 123, etc., can do everything you need. If your customer base drives Aston Martins, and their homes are worth north of 7figures, then drop the cash and get a professional, simple, design.

X2 on the Vistaprint VERY happy with their product. Did my own in about an hour, used my own photo. 250 cards for a little more than $20 I think.

I have used Vista print for quite awhile and been very happy. I even had them do up some shirts for me.
