Do you think BEAUTIFUL but expensive businesscards are a worthy investment for a freelance court reporter?

Question

I'm graduating school. I already have student business cards but I found absolutely BEAUTIFUL business cards like print pressed and everything for $250. I want to make a great impression on the agencies out here in NYC so would that be a good investment or do people not really care somuch about that, and should I just get regular business cards for like $50? Thanks.

Answer 1

VistaPrint.com is amazing. I have very professional business cards from them for FREE and I even got 250. They always have these amazing deals going on. The cards I have are not the paper flimsy ones. All of mine have the high gloss paper so they are sturdy too.

Not necessarily. There's a place online where you can get some nice business cards for FREE or nearly free. VistaPrint. They have some beautful templates and you can get the cards for just shipping. I got 250 real nice, quality cards, for my website for $4.95. Check them out before you throw away your money.

Good first impressions do mean a lot.  However, there should be a happy  medium....you should be able to find very attractive yet professional business cards that will make a lasting impression without such a high price.  While you might have the funds to do so,  it seems a waste to spend so much money on that kind of marketing tool when as I said, there should be a happy medium between price and looks.  If it were me, I wouldn't go for the cheap $50 ones but I wouldn't go for the extravagant $250 ones either.  I'd find something in the middle.
