If you care at all about your public image, it’s important to have a business card or personal information card on hand at all times.  You never know when you could meet your future employer, business partner, or even spouse.

For that reason, I have two different sets of business cards outside of my regular job.  They’re not fancy (unlike the ones at my day job, which have all kinds of colors and holes and unusual edges), but they get the job done.  One outlines my professional goals and details, while the other includes my personal phone number and e-mail address.

In the past, I’ve used a variety of providers that charged anywhere from $12 (bad experience) to $200 (great cards, but a terrible price).  Recently, I came across Printing4Less’ Business Cards, which seem to be a great compromise between price and features.  For about $60, you can get a great set of 500 full-color cards delivered to your house.

If you buy before the end of August, you can even get half off by using the coupon code BIZ850.  For the record, that’s actually cheaper than the same number of the lowest quality of black and white cards at the average Office Max or Office Depot.
