Business Cards Land

Tomorrow, as I’m sure you are very aware of, is Halloween!  That means we’re going to have a whole lot of ghosts, goblins, witches and even some bad angels with a black halo wandering around our streets asking us for candy.  Here’s something cool I just found, however…right now OvernightPrints.com is actually giving away some free Halloween Safety cards to help spread the safety message and make sure everyone, everywhere has a fun-filled and emergency-room free Halloween this weekend!

Nevertheless, if you head over here and add them to your cart, they will indeed show up as absolutely free.  You can’t find many free things in this day and age, so why not go over and grab a set.  If you’re in the market for your own business cards, why not use some of the amazing tips and unique samples we’ve found on this blog and design some of your very own.  My recommendation, go for the rounded corners, they really do make a world of difference!

Nevertheless, from all of us here at BusinessCardsLand.com we hope you have a very happy and very safe Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I don’t know how to sugar-coat the answer to this myth, so I’ll say it straight out.  Are you CRAZY?

Let me be clear.  The “free” business cards I’m referring to here are the smaller, thinner, ad-for-a-huge-printing-company-on-the-back business cards.  These cards SCREAM “freebie” to anyone who gives them more than a casual look.

These business cards that are obviously free and flimsy can really hurt your reputation if you’re not careful.  (And believe me; it’s hard to be objective about your own cards.  You may think “My friends like my cards just fine.”  But to be blunt, their opinion doesn’t matter.  What matters is the opinion of customers and prospects.  And they WILL notice if your card is of lesser quality than your competitors’ cards.)

The reason is that your business card is a direct and very personal reflection of your business.  It may be the first impression someone gets of who you are, what you do, and how you do it, and it’s often the impression you leave with them too.

Do you REALLY want prospective clients to think that you’re so cheap, or so unsure of your business, that you’re unwilling to invest $39.95 or so to promote it properly and professionally?  Why would they make the investment to buy your product or utilize your service when you come across as a fly-by-night operator who may not even be in business next week?

“Freebie” business cards are okay for casual, personal use, but not for business.

Still not convinced?  Request some business card samples from a quality printer, and compare them with your free business cards.  Then ask yourself “Which cards are most likely to impress my prospects?”

This myth will be obvious to you, then.
