I noticed on Vistaprint, I can get 250 premium cards for $10. That sounds good to me. However, hubby and I can't decide on a name. We have too many ideas.
How do you settle on a name for your online biz? How much info do you put on the card? Name, address, phone and anything else??
I want them for the farmer's markets and flea markets. I think they'd be cheap advertising in the long run.
Any other ideas??

Mara, thank you for the ideas. I'll let hubby in on it too. We got a bit of bad news today and I'm kind of reeling from it. But I looked up the Book of Kells. I knew of this years ago but had forgotten it. When I get a bit 'centered' again, I'll do some more research.

Honey, I'm in the design/print business and I can tell you that Vistaprint is absolute trash. There are options almost as cheap, and with a good layout & the right paper choice, you'll be so happy. The places I deal with work only with designers, not "regular" people ;) and their prices are wholesale, with the idea that the designers will mark them up. I recently did a gorgeous card for a client that came to $15 including shipping at a slightly higher rate than plain old UPS Ground because she needs them sooner. There is a roughly two-week turnaround, but it's worth it to wait. The quality is excellent. Please don't throw your money away on Vistaprint.
Let me know if I can help.
By the way, your name (Win Griffin) is fabulous. I wouldn't change that. Just do it in a fabulous font and a bit of artwork that suggests your overall style, or maybe even a Celtic gryphon design like something from the Book of Kells.

Great idea. I have been poking around in my new-ish laptop (as of last May, when I bought it). I have some sort of card maker in it already. Just have to get the cardstock, which is easy-peasy enough. I have a really good printer, fortunately, too.
Thank you!!

I went with Vistaprint in the beginning,but it's not the bargain you think-I now have a biz card program for my computer that I use to design my own cards using my own photos,etc. Much more reasonable to buy your own biz card stock and use that-plus with a computer program you can print cards in quantities of 10 or more which is great in case you want to add something to the card or change in in some way down the road. Card stock is available at Big Lots much of the time & if you have a paper cutter,the sky is the limit! Check with office supply stores for an inexpensive printing program-you can find them for about $7.99 and usually include graphics you can use. Another source for graphics is rubber stamps- I make a clear impression,scan it to my computer,then photoshop it & get it down to biz card size & voila!
