Road to Me 2.0: The Ultimate Personal Business Card Revealed

For the release of my new book and to capture everything I do in the personal branding world, I had new business cards made. It costs about $170 to get 1,000 double-sided, color, 12 pt thick, glossy business card.  One side is the cover of my book and the other has my picture, with my contact information, two media quotes and my title.  From a branding perspective, these business cards will make people remember my face and the book that I have coming out in April.  Whether you’re in college, an entrepreneur or a manager, you should have your own business card.  If you want to learn how to create your own business cards, see my previous post on this topic.

    Oh boy oh boy, Dan, I am the first person to share why I agree putting your face on your business card is a smart decision, but you need to include space for someone to take notes. By printing the cards in what looks like bluish colors, you prevent someone with a typical blue ink pen from writing a note. Moreover, had you considered printing the card with post-consumer waste? For instance, my cards are 20% “green.”
