How much are business cards typically, also as a new agent how many should I order to start out with?

Thanks

You can get them cheaply from http://www.overnightprints.com and they are very nice.

Do you plan on being with your broker for a long time? I would get at least 1000, but if you're not sure of the design, get only 100 from overnight prints - they're cheap enough to experiment like that.

Awsome site. Thanks for the help, now I have an idea of how much cards are going to cost me. Cheaper than I expected.


Thanks

I would avoid Vista Print. When I ordered cards from them, they signed me up for some program and I started seeing $10 a month charge on my credit card. They apparently hid the sign up scam very well. I was pissed and disputed the charges. I'll never use them, but still get spammed regularly by them.

I thought I heard somewhere that Vista Print is going out of business. They used to send me an e-mail every morning [like clockwork] for awhile, now nothing as of just over a week ago.

I've never bought anything from them because I prefer to do my own cards but signed up to their site because I was curious about their layouts and pricing on postcards. I've never been charged for anything, though.

Stay away from Quantum Graphics.

Overnightprints.com is the only place I'll order from.

I use 2 kind of cards:
A nice one for "valued customers" and the free 250 from vista print to leave on the countertop when showing or anything that doesn't matter really...

I wrote a blog post about business cards that you might find interesting. In particular there is a link to a Flickr website that has some amazing samples of business cards.

My opinion is not to skimp on your business card as this is an extension of your brand. When you start out you want to make a good impression so pay attention to the finish, thickness of the card stock and make it something you will be proud to give out.

Here is the link to the article. http://themarketingguy.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/how-to-make-your-business-card-stand-out/

That was a good one, Malamar!! As real estate agents, I think a good business card will carry forth a sense of professionalism and reliability So while getting a Card, we must keep in mind that it should have some meaning and message for the customer.

As a female, I enjoy the losers that call me because I got a "pretty piture". After the first order, I had the photo removed. Call me because you want a house, not a date.

Get two cards one for routine viusitors and other one for those whom you think are worthy buyers. Go in for overnightprints hands down

Who still uses them? Don't you think the hole card thing is a little dated? Get a blog or a nice site.
