Get 250 Free Business Cards To Promote Your Blog

On second thoughts, I'm not all that impressed with the designs. I can get those done at the mall for next to nothing. Nice idea though.

Hmm, I need some more personal name cards, other than those from work. Will check this out. Hope they deliver to Asia.

ooprint.com

They have FREE business cards, and special blogger cards (advertise your URL and personalize your tag cloud!)
The cards are great quality . . . they ship worldwide!!

still thinking about those cards..

I get 250 free full color business cards from them.

I've never had any problems with Vista Print myself and the cards were pretty darn good for FREE.

It's another great tool for promoting your business, the more channels you use, the more chance you invite.

I would say that its not your card print quality that’s most important it’s what it tells people about you (and what they should do), so I would recommend including direct marketing principals if you can - email addresses you can track, specific URL's guides or freebies to download etc.... :cool:

Please please be careful with this. I did exactly this and got my 250 free cards about 8 months ago and paid the postage but they kept my card details and signed me up for VPrewards.com and they take out £9.99 out of my account every month.

Please be careful.

I had to cancel my card as my bank said it was they only way to stop it.

Then you know you are in buissness if you are spreading b.cards ,.. while drinkin a cocktail somewere on the beach LOL :mrgreen:

In the Greater Vancouver area, there is so much competition for printing that its not difficult to find a good low cost place to print 4-colour business cards off a digital press.

I use Unico as my principle supplier and I have a wholesale account with them as well.

I'd stick with unico - printing is an interesting industry with a wide array of quality and pricing. You get what you pay for is what I feel.

I wrote about the same thing last month as well, only you could get 250 cards for only $1.00. :)

you could just pay around 1 dollar to office depot and order some (100) custom cards online. its not much more for 250 cards there either unless you want color

Poor guy with that number you posted on the business card. Had to check. Nope - no John Chow here. :shock:

John do you use your own referring link? or you just use Greg Morgan's :?: :?:

Very good free stuff :mrgreen:

I've blogged a pretty similar article just last week.

Inform yourself before dealing with Vista Print...

I got a bunch of these a while ago when they were doing this for free with free shipping too :)

I think VistaPrints is a great way to start your promoting activities for free. why not get a bunch of cards?

Good idea I'm going to look into it. Offline promotion can work too just you have to realize the internet is huge so chances are most people you already know aren't into your blog lol. Doesn't mean there aren't hundreds of thousands or millions or more that are into your niche. Very useful if you go to user meets or other hardcore things like that ;)

Sorry, but that card is just plain ugly. I'd rather go with some moo cards.

Promoting blogs offline is part of the marketing strategy.

John, nice blog with make money link bait.. :evil:

They do business in Australia as well

And pay me $4 for every referral.

I've ordered these before. The quality is definitely okay for being free. *=)

Seems pretty interesting, that offer...

I have used VistaPrint for five years now and I must say I am very happy with them.

Good prices and quite quick delivery.

Visit the website....hope available in my country

Well JC, I cant find my country, which is kinda sad :sad:

I don't think they deliver outside US :?:

I've never had anything good to say about Vistaprint. Poor customer service, shoddy quality, not to mention signing me up for a year of some service at about $20.00 a month that I had never heard of before. Twice I've had trouble with them, never again.

Those look like cool cards- they are sharp looking- I'll have to look into that offer...

VistaPrints is always doing 250 free business card promotions. In the past, they would allow you to design your own similar to what john did in the picture shown in the post, however they would advertise their own company on the back of the card. The only way to remove the advertisement from the back was to pay them to remove it. I prefer to buy my own business cards, design them myself on the computer, and print them at home. The quality is good if not great and overall, it doesn't cost much. If I needed a large number of cards (something in the thousands), maybe then I'll consider using a printing service to save on ink cost.

I've used Vistaprint and they aren't bad at all. My not be the best but not bad for the person starting out on a budget.

Wow
Great deal

Yes, promoting websites/blogs offline is part of the marketing strategy...:neutral:

I buy all my business cards through Vistaprint... it's economical and does the trick.

I hear it's also a great affiliate program?

I have used the free sample service before and overall I do think it's a great way to get some exposure off line to online!

This is a good promotional idea. Although it is free, I will need to wait until I own a domain name. I have designed come cards using these types templates and they are very limited and the line spacing is usually jacked up. My preference is the professionally embossed cards that I get at the local stationaty store.

But I guess they will do in a pinch.

I'd be interested to know how much you make off of this affiliate program. Those are affiliate links, right? I wish the service I mentioned above offered an affiliate program, but they don't, so I guess you're the wiser.

There is a google referral ad for this free offer from vista print that I thought might convert well.
