Without a doubt these are extremely creative and certaintly eye catching, beautiful business cards.

However, how cost effective would business cards like these be? I also doubt that some of them would actually be effective.

For example the Sensu design factory business card works well with the scratch areas, its an extremely clever idea. But I feel that this could be a wasted novelty. What if the client doesnt realise its meant to be scratched, and simply see it as being a block of colour. Then the design fails and the business card is rendered useless as the details need to be revealed.

Once the user has scratched those areas the novelty is gone, it becomes an extremely plain and mundane and extremely forgetable business card.

Most people do research on a range of companies before choosing there services and i've often collected many business cards before selecting the right company. If i were to see this in my pile I wouldnt blink twice at it, as Id probably have forgotten its novelty and simply assume its a plain white business card with little to no "wow" factor.

Im currently working on business cards for my own website, so ive been doing alot of research into materials, and companies. Personally im more than happy to go with high grade paper over plastics or metals. Id even go for recycled to add a bit of novelty to it. As they serve my needs perfectly and i feel i can create something nice from then without anything fancy or an endless budget.

Interesting point of view...

Well, it's just one of the many tools that you can use (someone thinks that you must use it) for the first appointment with the customer.
As for the ads service, there is no guarantee that you'll have new customers.

A mix of impressive tools (like the business cards of the article or others), past results and real solutions for the customer, it's the better way to convince customers.

Hi, I've seen all these really amazing business cards online, but where do you get things like that printed? I've tried to search the internet for places, but all I seem to find are things like vistaprint.com where you can only do one basic thing, not anything super creative. Does anyone have any suggestions for cool websites that specialize in creative business cards, and on top of that, matching stationary and cool envelopes? Anything to help please!

I'd stick with a local printer for high end, expensive print jobs. You'll get better support and ultimately better results.

Not just creative - sexy, inspiring too.

I really love the Emerson Taymor one, but everyone has thought outside of the box.

It gives me an idea :-)
