Business card\n\nBusiness cards are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver's name, company affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s) and/or e-mail addresses. A professional business card will often (but not always) include one or more aspects of striking visual design.\n\nBusiness cards are frequently used during sales calls to provide potential customers with a means to contact the business or representative of the business.\n\n\nIn Print\n\nBusiness cards are normally printed on a 4-color press and ordered as one of the following:\n\n    * 4/0 - Full Color Front / No Back\n    * 4/1 - Full Color Front / Black & White Back\n    * 4/4 - Full Color Front / Full Color Back\n\nThese names are pronounced as "four over zero" or "four over four".\n\nBusiness cards normally have a UV coating which makes them appear shinier than normal. Since UV cannot be written on, it is generally discarded on sides that might require it.\n\nWhen cards are designed, they are normally given bleeds. This is to helps ensure, that the paper will cut without white edges due to paper shifting. Paper shifting does occur on a press from time to time, and can be up to 1/8" or more. This will result in a nasty white line going down one (or more) of the sides. Bleeds are typically an extra 1/8 to 1/4 in to all sides of the card.\n\n    * Bleed Size: 3.75 x 2.25 in (95.25 by 57.15 mm)\n    * Cut Size: 3.5 x 2 in (89 by 51 mm)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_card

Making the cards is the easy part.  The tough part is contracting with the petrol stations to accept your card.  If you don't have a contract in place your card is worthless.

Why don't you make up some personal business cards and pass them out to new people that you meet. This will be appreciated and it will break the ice. You will be given credit for being intelligent, and respect because you know how to let others know you have a problem. You can buy blank business cards at Staples or you local office supply store. You could even put a little character on them that has a megaphone at the ear of something. Something to catch there eye right off. Good luck hope this helps.

The most appreciated would probably be something you wrote out in your own words. You can buy cards that are blank inside at most stores.\nIf money is tight bluemountain.com has a program you can download that has some free cards you can print out on your printer.

The best part of Office to make brochures with is Publisher, it has templates for all that sort of thing.\n\nOnly Small Business and Professional editions of Office have it though

I printed up a bunch of free business cards on vistaprint.com and basically passed out my biz cards myself, I gave bunch to others I knew and left several almost everywhere I went. Convenient store counters, grocery stores bulletin boards, post office counters, lobby's of hosipitals, hotels, friends I know in the school district, restaurants, you name it. Even when I'm standing in line sometimes when engaged in a conversation with a stranger I'd give them one of my cards. It's a lot of leg work and unless you have some really good connections like one of my friends whose a courier and he just hand deliver them to clients they have, it can take some time for the business to start running. Good luck I hope this helps a bit. P.S. I'm with Stacey's Custom Gift Baskets. Take care

When I did quality control work the forms were made by the company.\n\nBy designing your own forms and running copies of them you can tailor them to your own needs.

Use a sample of tea as a business card.  Ever see "Half Baked"?  Use a single tea bag (fully enclosed of course) and attach a card with your logo, address, and other relevant info.  Relatively cheap, can be done anywhere, and will catch people's attention.

Well, if you just want to print a few you can buy some magnets from like office depot that are stickers and the size of business cards, then you can print the cards on your computer or just use the ones you already have if you have some, that may be expensive if you want to make a whole lot though. \n\nI suppose at office depot they would probably print them for you too, that may be an option.\n\nHope that helps. :)

Newsprint paper is generally made using the "groundwood" process.  In this process tree trunks (minus the bark) are ground on stone grinding wheels to separate the wood into fine fibers.  Newsprint is also made by "thermomechanical" pulping.  This is a similar process except that wood chips are used rather than tree trunks and they are impregnated with high temperature water prior to grinding.  Some newsprint paper is made from a combination of Groundwood and thermomechanical pulp.\n\nMany newsprint producers also include recycled fiber in their products.  This is discarded paper from a variety of different sources so the exact ingredients are difficult to quantify definitively.\n\nRegardless of the pulping process, the fibers are then mixed with water and some chemical retention aids and clay fillers.  This mixture is then sent to the paper machine where is it is formed into a sheet and dried.  During this process another chemical called "sizing" is often applied to the surface to improve smoothness and printing quality.

Business cards are vital to your success and is the cheapest option for you.  Have quality business card made and start handing them to everyone you meet.  If you can get it in the hands of 10 people a day every day, you will be fine.  Tell all your family and friends that you do mortgages and give them cards to hand out to their co-workers, family and friends.  Hand a card to everyone, the bagger at the supermarket, the clerk in the customer service counter, the greeter, customers in the mall and more.  Getting your name out is the secret of success.
