One of the best investments I have made in my blog as my career was to purchase professional business cards. As I travel to different blogging events, I meet people on the plane that ask me where I am going. When I say, “to a blog event,” more questions follow. Having business cards on hand that I can whip out and hand them makes it so much easier to explain. Not to mention it is a really fab way to advertise.
I have used UPrinting before – I won business cards in another giveaway – so I can tell you exactly what I think about them. They rock. I chose to get the ones that are glossy on both sides. On hindsight I think I should have only ordered one side glossy so that people can write on the other side.
Besides that minor mistake on my part (which wasn’t really all that bad. My cards are so pretty!) I really was impressed with the cards. UPrinting was fast and there was not a single mistake. I also ordered my cards with rounded corners – I think that helps them stand out just a smidge.
UPrinting also makes a slew of other printing products. Wouldn’t it be fun to make some bookmarks with your blog logo and hand them out to friends at blog conferences? I can think of a few fun ways to use stickers with my logo too….
Type A Conference is coming up – June 21-24! So let’s have this giveaway fast so you can get your cards printed before then. (If you aren’t going to Type A, then win some cards to take to BlogHer!)
