You may have noticed my avitar has text on it, I know, not such a miracle. But that's one of my business cards, they are just 4x6's from Walgreens, I have a nice variety. Getting closer to the point, the racers, fans, and the customers in the two bars I work at,(where I force them upon my captive audience repeatedly). seem to dig them and are often surprised when I tell them they can have it, at which point, I show them the others, with a different car, or motorcycle, etc. Usually turns into a great B.S. session about cars, or photography. SORRY!!!
Anyway, curious as to other photographers opinions. I am certainly aware there is a HUGE "CHEESY" factor involved, and would not even be considered if I shot family portraits or fine art or much of any other genre, but they are large, bright, both at times drawbacks to, the car guys are more likely to hang onto it though, a few even told me they put them on their walls, just because they enjoy them so much,( I know, but this is Humboldt after all, you'd be surprised at what doesn't get through the REDWOOD CURTAIN,) best of all I get what I want on my cards, order them online at Walgreens and can have a medium sized order in an hour or so, for 10-15 cents each, and it's kinda fun trying different fonts,colors, etc., though when I design it in photoshop I do have to consider machine cropping GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
So let me know what you of my budget business cards, I can take it.[IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

It is what works for you and if people enjoy your work then so be it. You are making the people happy.
All I get is your website and no gallery, try it again.

It works for what you do. I actually have a general business card (which has a model a landscape and a sports image on it) That I carry and give out to just anyone. I am working on getting specific cards for each client base. Business cards are fairly cheap $50.00 for 2,500 cards. you do the math ;)
