Need some input on business cards

[Tigger29]

You need a card like mine, otherwise it will just be CARP!

I picked my new cards up from the printer's the other day. The paper is bone, and the type is Sillian Braille.

Very nice.

Well played, sir.

I wouldn't list my home address on a business card unless I planned on seeing customers/clients at the house.  I'm not going to expose my family to potential hassles or harassment by listing my home on a business card.

I had some cards made up a while ago and I did not include an address, but then again they were for professional contacts, business cards for my own business.  If I do consulting or contract work from home in the future, I'll probably use a p.o. box or mail forwarding service.

And to counter the "what are they hiding" argument against p.o. boxes, nothing screams "amateur hour!" quite like a residential address on a business card.

This was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read the title!

By the way, the cheapest place to get a business card is Vistaprint.Com.

btw Ive never had an address on a business card or email sig - it really depends on the nature of your business. eg you run a shop, you need people to visit to buy stuff, you need an address. you're in purchasing and you deal with suppliers who need to send you samples, you need the address.

My business has a PO Box.  The USPS won't deliver reliably to the hangar and after enough lost pieces of mail enough was enough

thats a nightmare for a business. At my home address I havent had many problems with couriers, but the Royal Mail postmen are bananas round here, they treat the job like lazy paperboys. I get probably about 80% of my mail. 20% of my mail is for other addresses. I have a 2011 national census form here. I also have 3 others for different addresses. you would have thought that a fairly important part of a postman's job would be puttng the right mail in the right letterbox.

What is the type of  business you are promoting?

The less you can say and still get the point across the better. No address everyone has email. and a phone #

Check on a drop box. With some you can list the physical address instead of a PO Box.
