How to Make Business Cards with Vista Print Delmar NY

Steps

1. Go to Vista Print's website (see below).
2. Click the link to "Free Business Cards".
3. Choose from their wide selection of well-designed cards.
4. Use their template to enter your own personal information (name, phone, etc.).
5. Order several hundred cards free. What's the catch? There are two:
   • (a) You have to pay about $10 for shipping and handling;
   • (b) The back of your business cards will have a small plug for Vista Print. Not a bad deal, though.

Tips

• Give a handful of your business cards to each of your customers and ask them to recommend you to other parents they know.
• Always carry a dozen cards with you, and whenever you meet someone and the conversation turns to your job, give them your card.

Warnings

• WARNING - this company will sign you up for a membership company under many different scam companies (shoppingessentials, vistaprintrewards, passport to fun); it's too bad because the printing side of the company is actually good quality.
• Since you do not know who will ultimately see your cards, don't put any information on them that you would not share with a stranger. For example, it would be better for a young babysitter to put her mobile phone or pager number on her cards, rather than the family phone number.
• Likewise be careful about your home address: better to include the town or neighborhood in which you would work, rather than your full home address.
• If you share your phone with family members, roommates, or other people, consider including "best times to call."
• Professionals often scoff at free cards. Note that many people may think you don't take your business seriously because you didn't take the time to get a professionally created card done.
• WARNING - this company will sign you up for a membership company under many different scam companies (shoppingessentials, vistaprintrewards, passport to fun); it's too bad because the printing side of the comapny is actually good quality.
