I’m not one to advertise a third party unless I think it’s a valuable service for you, so this is one worth a look in my opinion. bla.st is an online business card gallery to promote your business.
When it comes to choosing a business card design how fussy are you? It took me a long time to arrive at this design, and even now I find myself wondering how it could be improved upon. This post tells a little about how it’s produced, and of the good customer service I received in the process.
