Ask HN: Should startups invest in business cards?
Obviously, there is a practical tension to keep costs to a minimum, especially when teams are small and frugality is important.
But there is also a strong need to evangelize one's product during physical meetings or chance encounters. Without getting too geeky (like emailing one's contact info to another, etc.) what do HN'ers typically do?
- YoungEnt 15y agoYes, 100% A startup can't generate revenue or even continue, without the spread of word of mouth, which is a BIG way to get new customers. I've been there when you don't have a business card and it does 2 things: - You look really unprofessional - That's one person that will never remember you again. I would advise vistaprint.com, they give 250 free business cards, you just have to pay shipping. Here's the link: vistaprint.com/thankspandora
- kposehn 15y agoI agree with the sentiment about business cards 100%. You need them, so get them. Do NOT get VistaPrint. The free cards they have stick their logo on the back side. Go to OvernightPrints.com and you can get a better set for very little money. I have tested out every single online printer in depth over the years and they have the best business card offer for the money. @YoungEnt - where did you get that affiliate link? ;)
