Do you have a business card for blogging? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I had some free cards made a while ago, but I want to get some really nice ones for the Financial Blog Conference.  My only problem seems to be how to make it look, what info to include, and where I can go to get nice ones made.  You know, all of it, lol.  Right now, I am looking at Vistaprint again but the "premium" types.

Do any of you have a blogging business card?  If so, would you mind emailing me an example or letting me know what info you included?  So far I have my blog name, it's URL, my name, "Blogger / Freelancer for Blogging Services", my email, and phone.  Am I missing anything or should I use a different title?

Any suggestions other than Vistaprint?

Thank you in advance for all of your help.

I have some cards.  I've got my site name, tagline, url, email, facebook and twitter.

Never, ever order from vistaprint without searching google for coupon codes.  I don't pay anything but shipping/handling, ever.  I have 250 premium, flat cards that I paid $6 for, shipped.

If you want to look elsewhere, here's a comparison of a few companies: http://zacjohnson.com/best-business-cards-online-face-off/

LOL.  How did I forget to Google for coupon codes?    Vistaprint will work great if I could get my darn Gravatar image to have a high enough resolution.  Anyone know how to make a 125x125, 100 pixel image have a high enough resolution to look good on a Vistaprint card?

I'll email you a scan of my card.  Hope it helps.

@ Jason – What did your first offer cost, if I may ask?

When I was looking at VistaPrint the shipping/handling was definitely NOT $6.  Not saying there aren't deals or that it's a bad company.  But I didn't expect the overall price after everything was taken into consideration to be as much as it was.

This is timely! I just contacted the woman who did my site redesign and asked her to design cards for me to take to conference. :) I plan on ordering locally. My husband got 1,000 cards for $50, and supported a local business, so I'm going that way.

I got a hookup from UPrinting.com and love my cards. I have my picture (cartoon version) with my contact info on the front and blog URLs on the back. I would make sure to include Twitter (I keep kicking myself for forgetting to add it).

I had to do a little photo editing with Picnik to get it to work well and fit the card area, but the UPrinting support was great as well.

VistaPrint is the bomb.  I got 250 for free a while back and pass them out all the time.  I refuse to pay for cards!  Free ones do the job.

I won some from Upriting. I had a friend who does graphic design typeset the back for me. I love them.

Thanks everybody!  My boss at my day job actually volunteered to turn my gravatar image into a Correl Draw (sp?) vector image so it will look great on a Vistaprint premium card!  Yes, my supervisor is pretty awesome, lol.  I'll actually do a post with a picture about it when they are done and update this thread.  :-)  Thanks again!

This is completely new to me….blogging business cards. It is a smart idea. It seems like there people that are pro Vistaprint and some that are not so hot on the service.
