Business Cards For Multiple Blogs – need suggestions!

As some of you know, I have 2 sites. Well, I think it's time for me to get business cards for my blogs.

I already have business cards for my consulting and tax preparation, but those are more professional, and they don't mention the blogs.

Do you think it's possible to get one card designed that represents both blogs? How do those of you with more than 1 site handle cards, bags, and other stationary for your sites? Do you keep everything separate?

I don't know if I want to carry around 3 groups of business cards. It would be great if I could have 1 for both blogs, and 1 for the business – but I have no creativity at all!

What are your suggestions?

I'm getting some Drake Media Inc cards done up, and that site mentions almost everything I have going on so it'll be pretty multiuse.

In your case, I see site logos in both top corners, name and contact info in the middle, then site urls in the lower corners. ;)

All my blogs are disconnected, mostly on different areas (except BP & WI). So I have different ones for different blogs. I am thinking of making one that includes both WI & BP. That has similar design as Tom mentions. Just my company name, two logos and two urls on the front. The rest of the details are at the back.

Maybe use the front for one and the back for the other?  I think that would be cool…

The only thing I could think of was trying to do front and back – but maybe splitting the card may work. Have you seen any examples of this type of design? If so, I would love to see it to get an idea of how it would work.

I would do two different sets of card. Your two blogs are very different from each other and I think if you have separate cards you can cater to different business relationships. Trying to mix the two might limit you in some ways. Just my opinion anyways.

My only concern about a separate card for each blog is the fact that I already carry around cards for my actual side-business (tax preparation, and financial consulting). Currently, when the topic of my writing comes up, I just give them the card to my offline business, because it has the website, Twitter, and FB pages for KNS Financial.

However, many times people want to know about Fat Guy Skinny Wallet as well. This would mean that I'd need to carry around 3 sets of cards.

This is why I was trying to find a way to get both blogs on one card. I'm still trying to envision front/back or splitting the card in 2.

Khaleef, just throwing another option to consider – a folded card, like this - http://www.48hourprint.com/ima…..thumbL.jpg

 

That would fit everything, can go in the standard b.card holder and you don't have to carry multiple cards. Just another option..

I just ordered new business cards – I have 9 blogs.  I house everything under one umbrella – my marketing company, BIGPicture Media. I have the BIGPicture logo on the front and each web address for the blogs on the back.

Suba – I do like the idea of a folded card though!  It would be an attention-getter for sure!

I really like this idea. I think I am going to research the pricing and details at a couple of places. Maybe I can get them done before the conference in Chicago.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!

Keep throwing out ideas – like I said, I have no creativity or design skills at all.

@ Vistaprint they cost ~$40 for 500 cards + ~$5 (if I remember right) for uploaded design, instead of designing with their basic tools. 

 

This reminds me I have to stop tweaking mine and order them this weekend.

 

Khaleef, if you need help designing or something, give me a shout…

I am a fan of Vista Print too. I like the one blog on one side of the card proposal. That way your blogs will stand out and you only need one card.

You can probably do significantly better than $40 for 500 if you look around for some coupons and use a cash back website or your own affiliate link on the purchase. I've been able to get 250 premium cards for less than $10 including shipping and before any cash back. It would be a bit more to add a back side.

 

The trick is to add your order to your cart and then keep trying different links and checking your cart to see the price adjust. That way you can quickly determine which link gives you the best overall price including shipping and taxes. If you are in Canada, it is usually cheaper to order through the USA site.

Here's a link for 500 premium cards for $3.99 + shipping. There's plenty more where that came from:

Agreed you can do better with coupons on Vista print. I just gave an idea on howuch it would cost. Also if you go beyond the usual stock cards, Vista print gets weird and sometimes increases the price at the final screen.

I like the front and back idea pretty well, I think you can get something interesting done with that.
