Shell out the cash for a small stack of 250-500 to start off with. They will go a long way and plus in the case that your information changes you won't but left with 3000 extra cards that are no good because of an old e-mail. :-X Another thing to point out is to have a good relationship with your printer (the person). Business cards aren't a HUGE deal for them to make unless your doing some kind of raised thermography or something. You might be able to work something out where they print your cards as you need them at a smaller quantity in case your information changes.

David: That is a good price, but keep in mind that you'll have to adverise for them. They demand a little piece of every card to advertise on. That dosen't look profesional to me. (No offense though). Nice article, Gino. David: That is a good price, but keep in mind that you’ll have to adverise for them. They demand a little piece of every card to advertise on.

Its true that the biggest mistake is to not have a business card on hand. I've been in a few situations where I KNOW I could have landed a job (i work freelance film) if I'd only had my card on me. I went to www.cards29.com they offer 5000 business cards for $29 bucks which is amazing if you've shopped around. I designed them myself, simple, name, info and I've gotten tons of jobs with them. Definitely recommend that site. Also always do the follow up email. It works. Very informative. I agree fully. Its true that the biggest mistake is to not have a business card on hand.
