Road to Me 2.0: The Ultimate Personal Business Card Revealed

January 1, 2009 at 5:43 pm | In Me 2.0, Misc, Personal Branding, marketing | 7 Comments

For the release of my new book and to capture everything I do in the personal branding world, I had new business cards made. It costs about $170 to get 1,000 double-sided, color, 12 pt thick, glossy business card.  One side is the cover of my book and the other has my picture, with my contact information, two media quotes and my title.  From a branding perspective, these business cards will make people remember my face and the book that I have coming out in April.  Whether you’re in college, an entrepreneur or a manager, you should have your own business card.  If you want to learn how to create your own business cards, see my previous post on this topic.

  2. With a limited printnig area, lenticular printing effect can always express the distinctive message for the product / service.

  3. I just made some business cards for my blog through Moo/Flickr. It was a lot of fun and I’m excited to include them in things like thank you notes, networking events, etc. Happy New Year!

  5. Oh boy oh boy, Dan, I am the first person to share why I agree putting your face on your business card is a smart decision, but you need to include space for someone to take notes. By printing the cards in what looks like bluish colors, you prevent someone with a typical blue ink pen from writing a note. Moreover, had you considered printing the card with post-consumer waste? For instance, my cards are 20% “green.”
