Video Transcript

" For Expert Village.com, this is Jason Freedman. In this clip we will be talking about how you can get your own business card. You can design your own using your home computer and these perforated business card sheets that you get at any office supply store. There are always places online where you can get free cards like these. The catch usually is on the back of the card, the printer’s logo is on the back but it is a way to get cards if you don’t mind that. You could always use your favorite search engine and type in the phrase Business Cards and you will get about a million different answers, results. You would pick those from anywhere in the country and lots of times they have standard templates and layouts and designs all right there online. It makes it easy for you to order the cards and you get those probably relatively quickly within a few days. The next thing you could do is you could support your local economy and go to a local print shop or a copy shop or you could go to a large chain office supply store. They usually have printing services available. If you want to start spending some pretty good money, you can hire a graphic designer that way they will come up with some very unique card for you and as in any hobby there are always specialists. You can get alternative materials like wood, metal, glass and leather. There is a company that makes comic books super hero type cards based on a photograph that you send to them of yourself and they turn into a super hero and finally on a really high-end, there are cards marketed solely to the jet set crowd; folks who are for instance selling multi-million dollar real estate or mega yacht. These cards really offer people who want to standout from the crowd and differentiate themselves by the high status of their cards."
