There are also bundles and bundles of software out on the net, that let
you swiftly and safely make business cards for a fraction of the cost. This
alternative is good if you are younger and can't afford the $20.00 to have them
made, however your expense will come somewhat close with the cost of paper, time
and ink. Take some time and investigate the price difference between you
doing your own cards and making them. With Home Depot and Office Max offering
business cards for under $20.00, your better off having them made.
If you are an actor or model, I suggest you put your picture right on the card
with your web site address and e-mail address. If your a graphic artist, go to
town, you already know what you can do, you probably run a Business Card company
already. I keep business cards with me whenever I am out. There is never a time
I don't have a few cards to give to people that might want to enjoy my band, my
services, etc..... and I always get business cards from people of any sort. I
design web sites on the side, I make graphics, I am in music production, so I
can offer a lot to many, and for that reason, I keep everyone's card and put it
into a Business Card rolodex !
I want to leave off with this last sentence that should stick in your head,
whenever you are out meeting people, always ask for a business card. I will
reiterate this in the Networking chapter up next. Always save your cards in a
safe place, you will always look back for them as you grow into your talent and
art. I promise you this !
