One thousand free business cards for bloggers

A little while ago I shared some advice on what I thought should and should not be on every blogger’s business card. I finished the article with a couple of graphics, putting some flesh on my idea’s bones.

Jeremy, sole proprietor of All Business Cards and a man who knows and understands the benefits of being featured and discussed all over the blogosphere, soon stepped forward and offered me a deal. He would print my cards for free. Not only that, he would happily print one thousand cards for three of my readers as well.

A win win situation if ever there was one. I get my cards printed for free and, if your lucky, you do to.

All I had to do was tell you all about it.

I played around with some more designs, all in the same style, arguing with myself over the finer points of some very fine typefaces, I emailed my work to Jeremy. One week later, pretty good given the distance between the two of us, FedEx knocked on my door and the well packed cards were in my hand.

Nice quality and good service. Simple, effective and straight to the point. Exactly what business cards should be.

And now it’s your turn to get your cards printed for free. Well, it’s your turn for three of you. All you have to do is link to this post and leave a comment below to register your interest. On June 1st 2009, to give people plenty of time to take part, I’ll throw all the names into a hat and draw out three lucky recipients.

To be in with an even greater chance link to this post and to allbusinesscards.com. Doing so will see your name being put in the hat twice, doubling your chance of winning.

No strings, no tricks, no catch. If you are looking for a new set of business cards then here is your chance to get a set of one thousand absolutely free.

Just another example of how blogging really can get you the kind of things you’d usually have to pay for, for free.

    Great contest and perfect timing. I did catch your other post on bloggers cards too and thought that was brilliant logic to keep it super simple.

    Hi Ashley,

    I just posted an article about business cards and plugged both Upstart Blogger, All Business Cards and this competition to win 1000 free business cards.

    I also included a picture of my current business card.
