It’s been over a year since Freelance Advisor and Farm founder Paul Silver wrote about getting useful business cards and while the core-advice hasn’t changed we think it’s time to revive this topic and discover your ideas for Better Business Cards.
So… Starting today we’re looking for the smartest, most innovative and creative designs and uses for business cards.
And the best design idea will win a set of 200 cards from Moo.com (worth £39.99).
A great idea to get you thinking:
A mini-card mosaic
- The ingenious (and often imitated) Aral Balkan has a Photoshop template that’ll help you make a 100 piece mosaic of your good self. Impress clients with a small snippet of your earlobe.

A scary man taking business cards WAAAY to seriously:
- This guy is either a marketing genius who really knows how to get under your skin, the kind of guy you kinda want to hate but can’t, or he’s… I dunno… I can’t decide. If you’ve not seen his ‘motivational’ talk on how crap your business cards is and how wonderful his are then you really need to see this:
TO ENTER
- Simply blog, tweet, or bookmark your idea
- Tag it “#BetterBusinessCards
