perhaps you’d like to get some cute business cards like these ones?
I know business cards are very 2005. But I’m still amazed how many people ask me for one. And how many people still want to fax me something. And how many people use the word “stet” when they suggest I make a copy of something. A copy??!! To file. Who files??!!!
But. To my business cards.
I thought you’d like to know how I got these done. I get asked all the time because they’re just a little bit cute.
In a link, I use Moo.com.
I’ve used Moo for a few years now. It works thus: you design your own cards in a few clicks. You press “done”. They’re posted to you in a neat little box.
They’re ace for anyone who just needs a bit of hard copy on which their deets can be shared in the old-school mano-a-mano manner. But who also wants something a bit unique and non-corporate.
I get clever and opt for the mini cards. And hunt down some cool illustrators (you can choose from their list). If I had more time, I’d illo my own. You can also use your own photos. And even have a different photo on every single card. They have great stock images for caterers, gardeners, creative writers etc. Go have a play on their site.
I get 100 at a time. They’re super cheap, like $16 for the lot.
I won’t say more. To see how it works, in visuals, check this out:
Anyway, thought you’d like the pointer…
I agree completely. I use the mini moo cards and they are perfect every single time. I put a small hole in the corner and also use them as hang tags. Love them.

Oh man, I just bought business cards last week for Blogopolis… Wish I’d seen this first! I’ll ‘file’ it away for next time, albeit more pinterest style than filing cabinet

Perfect timing – I was made redundant two weeks ago, and today is my first day of not working!
I was thinking that I should get some business cards made up so when I freelance I can give them out… oh, the strange ways the universe works

Love Moo! Just ordered mine a few days ago, can’t wait for them to arrive.

Yeah I’ve been a moo.com fan for years too. Great products. Great company. Love how they do everything they do! Love their little stickers too.

Another vote for mini moo cards
I am a makeup artist and these allow me to have a mini-portfolio of work with me at all times. Great conversation starter! I usually end up giving a few different ones to everyone, and then they can pass them on to friends.

I got their cards about 6 years ago when it seemed they were a new business – good stuff. I’ve been looking at their website again as we need to promote my partner’s art a bit more. Highly recommended and I’m looking forward to creating something exciting for my partner’s exhibition in September using moo!
As suggested alternative -a friend of mine has been using https://about.me/ as well and thinks it’s pretty good – Business cards are linked with a website which acts as a kind of online business card – I’m not explaining it very well, but take a look at the page and it should become clear…
