Full Colored Business Cards
June 16, 2008
Full colored business cards are the standard for businesses today. That has not always been the case as you know. Problem for many business professionals is that they placed huge orders to take advantage of volume discounts, but it is just not that easy to hand out 5,000 business cards that fast. And sooner than you think your business cards are outdated and out of style. I personally use old business cards instead of yellow sticky notes whenever I can.
Anyway, it can make good business sense to work with smaller quantities when it comes to placing your next order for business cards. Instead of ordering generic cards, I often end up ordering smaller packages, but dedicated to certain projects or assigning me a specific role. Sometimes it is better if my title is not president or owner, but more something like “director” or “project manager” or stuff like this. I always scout the web for great deals or offers for even free business cards and actually have saved about 25% total compared to the larger orders of a generic business card.
It’s also easier now to replace a business card design with a new one. I truly see this as a major advantage and have been pretty happy with the results accordingly. I completely abandoned white business cards with black text and have only ordered full colored business cards in the last 2 years. From my experience it has helped to get the attention of the person receiving my business card.
