Getting Your Name Out There

I spend a lot of time seeking out new ideas and options for new business owners. There is so much "stuff" that you need to effectively run a profitable business and in this economy we are all looking for ways to keep our budgets under control.

One of the most critical steps to starting your business is to let other people know who you are and what you do. Something as simple as a business card can slip to the bottom of the to-do pile because you just don't have the budget or quantity requirements to meet the ordering restrictions of conventional printing companies.



I found a great option while visiting one of my daily reads, decor8. Writer Holly Becker has discovered the amazing calling card designs by Avie Designs which could be a perfect fit for many of my startup entrepreneurial clients. The cards allow you to share with the world all the critical information to contact you in a funky, artful business card.



Avie has two option that are a great fit for a small business. Their customizable calling card lets you to include your name, phone number and website. While the website cards are just that -- no name, no phone number, just your web address. Both options are budget friendly -- less than $15 for 80+ cards.
