I'm sorry to hi-jack the thread but you're all pointing to a cheap business card printer (who for the money will probably printing onto British Rail toilet paper) and then you're struggling to get both sides printed with decent artwork and wonder why?
If you do some homework and actually pay the going rate, not only will you not pay £500 for design (but expect to pay something!) but you will only pay about £50 for 500 good quality double sided cards.
Remember, it's the first item your clients see and you only have one chance to make a good impression...
Or, you could buy the cheapest and not quite get quite what you wanted!
My wants and needs don't necessitate quality business cards. In fact, since i've run my own business's, ive never ever had any business cards, which is about 7 years now !!!If you do some homework and actually pay the going rate, not only will you not pay £500 for design (but expect to pay something!) but you will only pay about £50 for 500 good quality double sided cards.

I just need something decent that is quick and easy to give to people who i want to contact me. Thats about it
Problem solved, no design fees.
I think i know better than you how my business will represent itself. For one, i don't have clients.
I'm not 'slagging' off other peoples business's you prat, I'm offering advice to someone who clearly has no clue whatsoever - quote - £500 to a designer for business cards, yeh right.
I'm not surprised you have no clients with an attitude like that.
If you don't have clients. how do you earn a living
Every business has clients, it's how they work - dickhead.Edited to say, you don't now me from Adam and I might 'just' have been able to offer advice that projected you and your business in a slightly better fashion.
I may have been in the printing industry for 20 years, and I may just know what I'm talking about.

Im a property developer. I buy property/land, i develop it and then i sell it on. No clients. I also make other investments. Thats how i have no clients - i do find it amusing when i come across people who think with their over sized mouth's
PS if someone on here owns a business that prints and you suggest that they ' will probably printing onto British Rail toilet paper' do you not think that might, just might be 'slagging' of someone's business. Try thinking with your brain and not your mouth
PPS - i'd never ask advice from a person like you and i'd certainly never use a business that someone like you is involved with.
Good thread to you came along - thanks to everyone else for comments
Oh well, jog on

When you're negotiating to buy the next bit of land or buying the next building to develop and the current owners say 'can I have your number' what do you do at the moment - write your details on the back of a fag packet?
Obviously my original post was wasted on you and I'm sorry to have made a contribution that may have helped. You may have asked, why and how, but chose not to.
I'll now retire from this thread, good luck

I don't NEED cards, i just think it would be a help to have some, at least i can always enter those free meal/beer draws in pub by having a card to drop into their box

No usually, the guy will get his phone out and tap my number into his phone as i say it . Works pretty well, less likely to be lost now i think about it
Blimey - being a rent boy pays well these days eh ? Most people have cards and a company brand unless they don't have one ( a company ).

LOL - I won't be drawn into swapping insults (there was a wink at the top of my post by the way but hey you seem to think the world is against you).With regards to dumb comments you say above you have no clients ie you dont sell anything yet say you develop property and sell it on ?
Now I'll leave that one with you

Stimmers, I couldn't agree more regarding his dumb comments, you just need to look on the Porsche forum where he is winding other members up by posting silly comments too. I notice his business is Print & Distribution, I don't know why anyone would want to use him when he is behaving in the manner, VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

I have sold print and owned a printing company for more years than I care to remember and I was using the British Rail quote as a comparison. For sure, it's true even in printing that you do get what you pay for. Sure the material content is always a small percentage of the printing cost, but really cheap printers must be cutting corners somewhere. That may be in the service, or charging artwork charges that some don't or simply somewhere else?
I can put you in touch with a very reasonable digital printer that will do a first class job, not charge the earth and create professional artwork, not for nothing...but certainly no where near £500.

I don't have clients, i have agents who deal with the clients/buyers, not me.
I'll leave you with that one
Fair one, but most companies do have stationery as a rule so they can invoice, pay their agents etc I'll leave you with that one
As the fellow poster says above it need not cost the earth either for good quality cards.
