Let's exchange Business Cards, shall we? A giveaway

Many of the blog posts I read pre-BlogHer focused on designing and acquiring just the right business cards to pass around to the throngs of bloggers that had never had a face to face, so to speak.

The right business card can often be a keepsake, a momento, or a bookmark, depending on the style, the colors, the quirk. You get the drift. I know that I have held off having business cards printed because I can't quite commit to a design yet. Not that I really have hordes of people asking for my business cards at the moment, that whole little fish, big pond thing after all.

But when I do get them, I want them to reflect who I am and have some element that attracts the eyes of those that receive them.

In the scope of the job that really pays me, I receive and disperse business cards all the time. I keep a Rolodex filled with them, so I can grab the right contact for the issue at hand. Tremendously helpful. When I went to a business conference several years ago, I ran out of the supply of business cards I had brought with me, on the first day, and felt so lame when people continued to ask for my card as they handed me theirs. So much for networking!

Digital Room is giving me the opportunity to present two wonderful readers with 500 Business cards each, just by telling me how you would put these cards to work for you.


Tow (2) lucky winners will be able to choose among 3 different Business Card Sizes.

Just leave a comment here on what you would do with such lovely business cards if they were yours to share with the world, or your neighbor. And spread the word, of course, because we've got Business Cards to giveaway!

  1. If I had cards for my blog...I'd keep them close by all the time for those times when someone says - "Oh-do you read her blog?" and the other person says "No - what's it called?" and then I have to explain the looong name I chose for it without thinking how cumbersome it is. Also, I'd keep one hidden on my desk at my "real job" so that I can remind myself of the writing I do just for me...not for money. :-)

  2. I use business card on a daily basis, 1) I use them for government officals who come into the office monthly for reviews and other fun things. 2) I use them to place in the fish bowls at the different restuarants for free lunches. I know lame but fun.!!!!!!
