In a recent post, I discussed business cards design, content, and sources. See the previous post here. Since I needed some cards, I decided to order from two different online companies I mentioned in the post.

First, I went to Vistaprint, found a new design that I liked and ordered 250 cards using the promotion code that I had received. Ordinarily, you get 250 cards free and just pay shipping. The free cards have Vistaprint’s ad on the back. The special promotion offered the premium cards (no ad on back) for free plus shipping. I managed to make it all the way to checkout without adding any features or buying anything else, although I was tempted by the alternate design that they recommended for the back of my card. I paid $5.79 for the cheapest shipping. I ordered on September 8th. The cards were shipped on September 15th, and I received them on the 17th. I would have like them better if I had paid a little extra for the glossy finish, but they are fine for what I paid. More >
