    cards

    I have business cards, mainly because I felt like all those little vendor certification logos deserve putting somewhere.
    I don't know where they get printed because our designer handles that sort of thing. So nerr.

    heh, nice! I think I could easily get carried away and spend a fortune on stationary. Just think pens, mugs, mints....... the list goes on

    I guy I used to know had his business cards done on flexible razor-blades. Original, and very handy for cutting your Charlie up down the bogs.

    Yes, definitely and essential in working direct land. I use my local Printing.Com franchise. Don't get cheap, crappy ones though, these Luxury Cards are very nice.

    A few years ago I had a window cleaner who's business cards were hand-scrawled on badly cut-out brown cardboard. Having been unemployed for a bit, he was just starting out, and was knocking on doors down my street selling himself as Mr Reliable. Give him a chance, I thought.

    I should have known. He turned up next day, and refused to do one window because he had to put his foot on part of the tiled roof to reach it. I never saw him again.

    So the moral is, don't have a window like mine.

    And get good quality printed biz cards as well, not the prontaprint ones from those shopping center kiosks.

    Yes.

    I used Vistaprint

    Depends on how "disguised" an employee you are I guess.

    started a topic Company Stationary

    Company Stationary

    I'm interested to know how many people out there have actually had a logo, letterhead, business cards etc made and do you think it is a worthwhile investment?

Working...
