Business Cards: Graphic Designer vs. Office Depot/Staples/Fed Ex/Kinkos

As a business owner, the first thing you probably get are business cards. It's all about promotion. This is when a pivotal question pops up...where to get them?

There are quite a few options.  For the first round of cards, most new businessers who have no prior experience working with a designer usually go to their local office supply or copy shop.  The pro, they usually get done same or next day. The con, they are plain plain plain, or a template that a hundred other people have. The super con, your card will not stand out.

Fix! Have your cards done by a graphic designer! It's a bit more dough, and a bit more time, but the end result is fantastic!  A graphic designer will be able to take your information, wants and needs and whip them into a beautiful, creative, UNIQUE card. A card that when handed out people look at it and go, wow, nice! A card that when in a clients wallet beckons them to call you because it catches their eye every time they open the wallet. A card that when handed out at a convention or gathering, stands out against the others.

So, the next time your ready to order business cards, weigh your options, and you may find that to stand out against the crowd, a graphic designer is your best bet.
