Back in the days when I ran my own business I was young, like early 20’s, I would go around wholesale establishments, trade fairs and all kinds of events meeting up people and gaining contacts. All too often I would find myself borrowing a card from the person I met writing my phone number down and handing it back to them. Not the smartest business move let me tell you. Of course needless to say I hardly heard back from anybody I presented their own card back with my details on the back.

When you are all young and energetic you have that urge to get out and make a difference, if you are young here’s some advice - get some business cards for yourself. Even if it just has a phone number and email address.

The site I linked to above 123print.com also offers address labels, letterheads and a whole bunch of printing resources for your business. I wrote previously on marketing your blog offline, I suggest you read that as well to get a better perspective of the need for a business card.
