Business Cards!

[hepcat]

Many here are pros... many advanced amateurs, and all are very talented. If you have business cards, what do they look like? Did you design and print it yourself? Show us yours. If you're concerned about your phone number or address, just blank it out. Mine's all over the internet anyway.

I'll start... I have three right now, all with the same background, just different featured photos. Here's the one I use the most:

Oh my!!! Thank you... I just saw the memory cards first... That's really interesting. How do you print them? Are they glossy on both sides?

the case is a hakuba media case...i just took out the other sd card holder from the other side...found it on ebay...zen shooter did it first and i copied him.
the cards are 'moo' cards...the other side is plain white with printing on it...my name and blog address...very simple.

sorry, find the case on b&h..http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/240329-REG/Hakuba_DMSP_SD8_DMSP_SD8_SD_Card_Case.html

Nice business card! Good job.


My business cards were simple.


My clients plates were always too full. Faster they could find my phone # and/or e mail address the better it was for them.

Here is the logo I used

I've run the gamut from photo business cards designed as a collectible set to just a simple card with name and contact information, listing what kind of work I do. That's what I use now.

People liked the photo cards, but when asked later why they didn't call, they said, "Oh, the photos were nice but it wasn't the kind of work I was looking for."

I think the lesson is to present information on your business card that is relevant to the clients you want to attract if you want them to be remembered or useful.

That's why I have several with different kinds of photos... one for portraiture, one for weddings, and one for commercial work.

Reminds me of Tommy Smothers' parody of the Paul Masson motto, "We will sell no wine before it's time." The Smothers Brothers Winery in Sonoma CA didn't do well for years before they renamed it. Tommy joked during an interview that their motto was "We will sell no wine."

I get it. 😀

Those are nice, by the way. Well done.

Being a printer, this thread forces me to share my favorite movie scene ever:

"How did a nitwit like you get so tasteful?"

I'm not a pro, but before I went to the US last year I thought it'd be fun to have something that I could give to people. So just before I left I went to the darkroom, cut up some fiber paper and made 50 contact prints. I then wrote my contact details on the back of each print and signed and numbered them. I know the size is unconventional but it was fun 🙂
