I need good business cards, cheap, and without murder

Business cards are still a thing for some damn reason. I’ve had them over the years in my capacity as an editor, journalist, social media dude & advertising agency guy, and so on, but I do not have them as a freelancer. Just never really needed them, since most of my business comes by referral.

I feel like I’ve got to remedy that, though, and they’ve got to look professional.

And design, maybe. I probably need a good, basic, but attractive design.

So your recommendations are not only welcome, I’m asking for them!

There are a million and a half cheap-o printing services out there who do business cards. I worked with several during my time as co-founder of a little advertising agency, though it was actually my partner who did all the heavy lifting when it came to orders and all that jazz, so I’ve no loyalty to anyone in particular. I only need a small print run, anyway.

Who have you people used? Who do you recommend?

Almost all my business comes through word of mouth and recommendations, which is wonderful, but a man’s got to be prepared to dish out the ol’ business card when necessary.

If you used a service and are happy with the results — design, printing and price — let me know however you can. Facebook, Twitter, email, my contact form. Whatever works. Thanks!

    I’ve used Vistaprint since 2000-ish. No issues, and I can’t imagine anyone sells cards for less.
