Business cards are great for making connections. They are essential for young professionals and new business owners, two groups of people that don't have a lot of capital to spend. Follow these steps to find the cheapest way to make business cards for your venture.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Online

Step 1

Visit a website offering free business cards, like Vista Print.
Step 2

Fill in the template provided on the website with the information you want printed on your business cards.
Step 3

Pay shipping and processing fees.

Do it Yourself

Step 1

Buy business card paper.
Step 2

Design your card using free templates available online or the software that came with your paper.
Step 3

Print them with your inkjet or laser printer. Laser is better because it won't run when wet, but if you want to use glossy or coated paper you will need to use an inkjet printer.

Buy Some, Get More

Step 1

Find a printing company that is using a business card promotion to attract new business.
Step 2

Calculate the average price of your business cards after the promotion. It may be cheaper than the "free" ones after shipping and service charges. There is also the advantage of having no advertising on the back.
Step 3

Design your business cards using their templates and assistance.
