Cheap Business Cards


By by Sarah Ross

If you're starting a new home based business, there are some basic costs in getting started, but the last thing you want to do is run up your costs with overpriced expenses. So what do you do? You shop around until you find the best deals on computers, cell phone plans, a desk, and many other things you need in order to get your new business rolling. This is a great start, but if you really want to save money, you need to apply this to all of your expenses. You'd be surprised at how quickly the smaller expenses can drain your business checking account. One area we can help with is to help you locate a printing service that offers cheap business cards.

Just to make things clear, purchasing cheap business cards doesn't mean you have to settle for some low quality ink and card stock. In fact, these days there are many online printing services that can give you a professional-looking full-color card at a highly competitive price. (and we mean cheap) That's because these printing services primarily retain a virtual presence alone. This allows the companies to operate within extremely low overhead costs and pass the savings on to you.

Ordering cheap business cards online is a bit different than ordering from a walk-in store. You'll have to rely on digital representations of the final product without having the luxury of holding a sample in your hand to see how it looks and feels. But for the most part, what you see is what you get. For example, you can go to Office Depot and spend

$80-$120 for business cards, or you can go to Vistaprint.com and spend less than $20 for their premium cards (some business cards are free).

Another difference between purchasing cheap business cards online versus a regular print shop is that you'll have to provide your company logo in a digitized format. This is obviously a very important component of the card, so it's in your best interest to make sure you give the printer a clear, crisp image to work with. The quality of the image file will determine in large part how well the logo turns out on the finished card.

Most of the online printing services that offer cheap business cards have very reasonable minimum order quantities. Typically, you'll be required to purchase between 100 and 250 pieces per order. Occasionally, a printer might require a minimum order of 500 pieces. Depending on your expected needs, 500 might still be a viable amount, especially if that particular printer offers extras such as double-sided printing or a matte finish. However, I would be wary of ordering more than 500 at a time because some of your pertinent information, such as your cell phone number or email address, might change before you distribute every card.

When you want to save money on the items necessary to keep your company going, don't forget about the small expenses that add up. Order cheap business cards from now on and you just might notice an improvement in your bottom line. Just go to Google and type in "Cheap Business Cards" and see what shows up.
