hand me a free business card

Free Business Cards no longer available proving cards more powerful than ever

Free Business Cards are not easy to come by. However, it's worth the cost, as recent studies show that not only are business cards a necessity, they're also an important factor in a client's first impression of your business. The days of free cards are long gone, as more production and effort now goes into it. There are thousands of graphic designers available, and most at an affordable price. You may think that a nicely designed card is not worth the money, but it truly is an important element in the way you appear to potential customers.

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), more than 600,000 new businesses are started within the United States every year. But, in most cases, businesses simply aren't aware of all the cost-effective resources that are available to help them succeed. In fact, according to a small business survey commissioned by Office Depot, nearly half (46%) of respondents stated that they did not have business cards for their organization, citing reasons such as "too expensive", and not knowing how or where to get one made. It may not be free, but paying a designer and printing company one time can be a very profitable decision.

Those entrepreneurs out there who are waiting to find a company which is willing to provide free business cards are waiting in vain. However, there are many cheap options, and it's worth the small amount of money. Office Depot, for example, offers high quality, full-color business cards at affordable prices that will help businesses get up and running without





breaking the bank. Customers can select from thousands of pre-designed templates, or can upload custom artwork of their own card at no additional charge

"Not only do business cards showcase a company's identity, but they also help a business to stand out from the competition," said Randy Pianin, Senior Vice President of Office Depot's Design, Print, & Ship Depot. "Office Depot's new business card service allows both consumers and small businesses to create a unique identity that will meet their individual needs, which is priceless as opposed to free."
