@Annie Payne. Good advice, Annie! I don’t always remember to carry my business cards.

The most important thing to remember about business cards is to carry on your person at all times! It’s always the one time you leave home without them that you run into all kinds of potential clients!

When you are ready to print your cards you should check out these guys.

http://www.jukeboxprint.com/?refer=5558&hash=a267b709dcf9e7361a24d356bb582739

They have a special for 1000 super glossy cards for $15. If you use the link above you will get an additional $10 off! At that price you can leave the cards on the ground behind you like bread crumbs cause they were so cheap!

Dont forget to have a QR code in there too. They are important now more than ever

It occurred to me while reading this helpful post, that a lot of what is said here comes down to principles that should be applied to websites as well. I see so many cluttered, “homemade”-looking, user-unfriendly sites these days.

I agree about dropping the caps as well for the same reason as Ches Applewhite. I also think it can be nice to put the tag line in italics or a different font from the contact info.

@Ches Applewhite. Thanks, Ches. The “dropping caps” seem to be the winners so far. Anyone for keeping the caps?

The argument for keeping them is that it causes the eye to pause ever so briefly on each word. In so doing, it gives more weight to the statement. It’s more of a slogan/title than a sentence.

I agree with Pat on dropping the capital letters.
Your tag line is a sentence and the caps are a distraction. cheers, ches

@Pat McNees. Thanks for the suggestion, Pat. I’ll keep it in mind. I’m curious as to why you’d drop the caps?

I suggest you ditch the caps for your tag line and make it
