Business cards for Etsy shop

Whether you are an owner of an established Etsy shop or someone who is just starting out on Etsy, I think it's important to have business cards for your Etsy shop. I believe that business cards help you appeal more professional. If customers like your products, they may hold on to the card for future reference or even pass it on to a friend. Business cards work wonders if you would like to share personal contact information (your phone or Email) or if you are looking for ways to increase your online presence by gaining new followers on Pinterest, Twitter, or Facebook. And if you need to share an Etsy Coupon code to encourage repeat business, you can do it on the business cards for your Etsy shop as well.

A few weeks ago, I ordered business cards from Vistaprint.com. The company is well-know for offering great deals to new and repeat customers. You can usually get 250 business cards for around $10. Vistaprint offers a limited number of pre-designed templates for free, or you can pay extra to get access to a greater variety of pre-designed cards - simply fill in the contact information for your business, and you are good to go. Also, there's an option to design your own card on Vistaprint site, if you are up for the challenge and don't mind the extra cost. As for the back side of your business card, you can either choose to keep it blank or add value to the card by including a calendar, a tip chart, or a special offer - these options are available for extra cost.

In order to keep my business costs down, I always check Retailmenot website for coupon offers or just Google "vistaprint coupons" to see what I can find. Also, I usually select the slower shipping option to save a few extra bucks. I have ordered cards from Vistaprint at least a dozen times, and I have been happy with how the cards turn out. For the first time, I decided to pay extra to have a matching full-color back side, and I love the way the cards turned out!

I probably could have uploaded my own images and made the business cards a little more Zipper-oriented, but I ran into this design and just had to get it! I do have a thing for buttons :)

Have you ordered business cards from Vistaprint? Or do you prefer to order your business cards elsewhere? Please do leave a comment and let me know you stopped by.

Disclosure: I was not compensated by VistaPrint to recommend their products and services - just using this post as an opportunity to show off my new business cards and give advice to Etsy shop owners looking for business cards for Etsy shop.

  1. You're so right - as long as you're in a business, it's important to have calling cards. You never know who you might bump into that might be interested! I think your calling cards look great! The design is very cute, and I think the graphics definitely tell a lot about what your business is.
