I just shelled out for 100 at £15.58.. so makes them 15.58p each pritty dear
i think i could got loo roll and at least people will see the name and ad each time

Maybe would of been better, Loo Roll with the company Logo and with the statement "We Give a ....."



ANY WAY
Looking at VistaP were i got them for (small amount tho) and they only use 258msg, seen some on Ebay Cheaper and 350-450msg all with the same 300dpi (same as VistaP any way)

Were do you all get yours from, IE i think 15.5p is too much and i wont need dam a lot

You could print your own these days. It's not as though you need to impress the Queen, as long as they are presentable and give your details etc, you could probably save yourself some hard earned cash.

I use. vista and buy 1000 each time. It's a cost of doing business, and don't get cheap ones - remember first impressions count

Print my own plastic cards, using a plastic card printer which we use for door access and company id cards......worth picking one up on ebay for £200-£500....you`ll easily get your money back, and cards that last forever.

didnt know if any one had tried any of the EBAY companies, the m/g were a lot higher than the basic on VistaP, and the all seem to do 300dpi, may look at some of them for a few to see how they go.

It wont take you long to go through 100 cards. 1000 lasts me about 3 months. I give out 5 or 6 at a time one for the client and the rest for them to pass on. 1000 good quality cards from the local printers £75.

i see business cards a bit outdated, i did want to get around to having a design with a Magnet for people to put on their fridge that way they keep the dam thing and its to hand.


Im still new so i wouldnt expect that many people to use me to start off with, also would like to see what i get for the money, VistaPrint seem to add things on for this and that for temping (was temped for another £10 for a shine card)

I am in the Country side, Newark is 20miles from Nottingham, 45miles from Peterboro and about the same with Doncaster/Sheffield but only 12miles from Lincoln.

Guess i'll have to do 500 next time and then keep doubling it by the rate you guys use them.

As stated look for someone printing plastic cards, customers keep them and they last

Business cards are business cards, flyers are flyers. They're both for very different purposes so I wouldn't try to combine them into one. I'd suggest you should keep you business card good quality but plain with just your name, your business name and your contact details and use them as a professional courtesy rather than as a marketing tool. Flyers or fridge magnets are great but they need something on them that makes customers or potential customers want to keep them handy. You could maybe use them as a discount card so anyone that has one gets a 5% discount for example or you could put info on them that people need to refer to whether it be a calender, local emergency numbers, a list of cheats for popular PS3 games or whatever you think will get it permanently affixed to their fridge.
