    Busniess Cards

    I currently have some personal business cards which I give to people. Just name, slogan, mobile and email. I need to change the slogan, at the moment it says "Genius" (I was going through a Road Runner and Wil E Cyote phase then!). Anyone come up with anything? Nothing rude or geeky though.

    Re: Busniess Cards

    I actually find this fascinating. Who do you give these to? How much does it cost? Is it not easier just to put your number into people's phones?

    How about that?

    I admit to agreeing with MadduckUK for once. My sanity must have deserted me.

    Re: Busniess Cards

    I just think its nice to give something to someone, plus it reminds them of you more than if you just input the number on their phone. Girls tend to like something more personal.

    you keep your spaff out of this.

    Re: Busniess Cards

    Wondered how long it would take ...

    Try not to think of business cards just for business. Personal cards.

    Single? Yes. Not for long though ...

    Re: Busniess Cards

    Stringent - I've never used personal business cards, are you sure ladies won't find it corny & pretentious?

    I would have thought a better approach is just talking, exchange pleasantries and then numbers if you wish to see each other again.

    Re: Busniess Cards

    I never remember to take actual business cards with me (that reminds me, need to get work to get me some more) yet alone "personal" cards

    I could see the point of it if you did freelance work or something, but not in social situations.

    Anyway, beer mats and complimentary packs of matches are free and pens can be begged off the bar staff
