Business Cards

I got 500 free off the fella who done my website. He got them off vistaprint.
When the 1st lot come they looked cheap paper but the writing was tiny so I told him they were crap and binned them.
He then sorted another 500 out......
They were better as writing was bigger

I've been giving them out for a month. Then yesterday some women rang my home number to say did I know 2 of my numbers are the wrong way round on my mobile no. :stupid

So need new ones again now.... So any good onlines ones or should I go a local shop?

 

The trouble with printers is they only print what is in front of them spelling everything they way it is presented. need to check everything before approval. We used a local printer for ours 3000 cards £125 in good card four colours. On this sort of thing I would go local so you can nip round and check the art work before it goes to press.

 

Yeah think local the way to go.
My web man checked it as he got them. All he had to do was look at my web site.

 

have used vista print for very long time now for our Flooring Assessments and others my 1st lot very bad but when I got into it they have been brill, trick is take your time when building them and they also save in ur account very happy but I only order when they have the offers on.
load of useless info for you but just trying out Matt's new site which is outstanding

 

Got a price off a local company, £89 for 500........ no thanks. plus £30 for a design

Used vista print twice before Dave but found the cards cheap looking.

Waiting on 2 more prices.

 

my local printing co. do mine
think it was 59quid for 1000
At least if thees a prob i can go down and talk to someone face to face

 

I just paid £120 for 500, and that's supposed to be a mate of mine! They are good quality tho, I think/hope

 

how much????
for that price id be wanting the damn things to come with a guarantee of work of every one handed out! bloody hell!
Seriously tho, that is really expensive
Gold leaf embossed lettering,
in fact the business card scene from 'american psycho' has just popped into my head haha

 

That's serious dosh, I hope you give your "mate" the same sort rate if you ever do any flooring for him.

 

Daz I need some new cards and the printer in my BNI is going to give me a price. He has done some cards for one of the other guys and these have pictures on the back of work he has done (staircase refurbs/new doors etc.) and they look really effective. It shows customers the kind of work you can do.

 

That's a good idea pictures on the back

 

Don't worry mate I will, I should of got a few quotes but I don't have recommendation for any1 else. Made that mistake with the van sign writing, went for the cheap guy and now having to pull half of it off.

 

Let me know the price mate.

 

Spoke to my printer today and he will charge me £32.11 + VAT for 500 cards with photos on the reverse (could be more words if preferred).
It would £24.18 for 250 cards.

He will charge me £15 set-up because he already does my letterheads so might be a bit more for new customers.

If anyone wants their cards laminating it would be £36.80 for 250 and £57.35 for 500.

These prices are as they stand at the moment, I'm sure if a few people want them it will affect the price (downwards!)

If you're interested just let me know.

 

I am mate, how would you go about the design. I have cards which i like but want a few things changing. I could post a few.

 

Daz I will pm you his details tomorrow am. as it may be better if you speak to him direct. He talks about things like pdfs which i think you understand better than I do. If you've got a basic card that you just want tweaking should be ok.

 

Will do Matt
