My kidneys are busted
if you dare

I don't know if BFC is really the place for this, but I'm looking for inspiration for business/calling cards. Can you please post yours?

A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Our company is p small and im pretty sure my bosses just found a template like 15 years ago but basically this (modified logo-title and address).

Most important part is good a nice textured matte heavy cardstock (that you can also write on, don't go glossy). I think we've used some local guy (we tried staples but they hosed it up badly last time) but we might try https://www.moo.com or https://www.gotprint.com next time, some of their samples they sent were nice. Unless there's some specific purpose to your cards outside of "hey here's my contact, nice to meet you", mostly just keep it simple and don't get too ostentatious about it, I've seen some super annoying plastic credit card, wood, or other laser cut stuff and I think it's just bad but that's my preference. Really can't mess it up with a fine matte card.

Scars are tattoos with better stories.
I've recently made a switch to texting a contact tailored to my business instead of handing out a business card. I've noticed a HUGE difference in both the number and quality of clients I've been getting. Also, nobody is going to be losing this, and frankly saving the money on printing is wonderful.

Stop living in the 19th century, try a more personal (and permanent touch)

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.

What do people do with business cards?

I toss them on the unsorted/maybe one day important paper pile on my home desk, never look at them again until 3-12 months from now when I get around to sorting that pile of garbage out, and then toss them into the trash or stick them back on the pile with other things I don't want to throw out yet but don't really care enough about to put anywhere else.

When someone is rude to me I take their business card and keep it in a rolodex for the next time I need meal ingredients for a dinner party.

I'm about to have a couple weeks off in which I enter mother fuckers in to my address book from their business cards while I get drunk and watch tv

I found the Evernote phone app does a decent job of scanning business cards and extracting the info out to add to your contacts.

that having been said, for 99% of business cards I get, I do exactly what you do
