Business Cards

I already had the business card design however I had no idea there were so many options. I must have spent an entire day trying to figure out what, if any, extra detail to add to my card…spot UV, silk laminated, matte, or silk laminated with spot UV, with foil, uncoated, linen, white or frosted plastic. What about corners…1/8, 1/4 radius corners. Then there’s the weight…14, 16, or an amazing, beautiful, but costly Luxe 32pt stock.

I had ordered some sample cards from a few businesses but was overly impressed with Moo. A company based out of the UK with another office in RI. Their sample pack presentation was beautiful and really when you factor in what they offer in their pricing it’s really not that much more expensive than competitors (plus they were running a 25% off promo). 

I looked into going the cheaper route (or what I thought would be) and messing with Vista Print but they charged for everything, fee per uploaded file, backside print, etc. They did sucker me in at the checkout process when they started showing me additional products with my logo. Kudos for them for their marketing skills! I ended with 2 ink pens and then they offered me more bargains after I’d placed the order…so I bought another pen. It could have gotten out of control with t-shirts, coffee mugs, magnets, but I resisted. At least the pens will come in handy for jotting things down at the upcoming trade shows. 

So back to MOO…I placed my order on Wednesday 4/18 for 200 cards. 

They estimated I would receive it by 4/30. It shipped out yesterday 4/23, and will arrive USPS Priority 2-3 days.

Can’t wait to see them…and they arrive in a handy case…well worth every penny.
