What Should Business Cards Cost?
by: Jeff Messenger
What should your business cards cost? Prices vary so much it is difficult to recommend any price. We have found cards costing as high as $300.00 per 1000 to as little as $39.00 per l000. As you can see this is quite a difference in price, but like so many things their usually is a reason. Don’t be too eager to jump on the low price, because we found they have a lot of hidden charges that are not explained to you. Hidden charges, such as, design fees, charging for adding logos, charging for adding background designs, setup fees just to order the cards, and many more.
The very best pricing we found was on the internet. Prices vary some but not as drastic as they do on a local basis. In your local area you will probable find that prices will vary from $110.00 per 1000 cards to as high as $300.00 per 1000 cards. We found that the low priced ones had hidden charges that brought the price up to almost as much as the higher priced cards. So be very careful and try to find out about all the hidden charges. Be sure and ask what will be my final price and make them stick to it.
As we said our best pricing was found on the internet and these prices ranged from $39.00 per 1000 cards to $210.00 per 1000 cards. Some of these companies also have hidden charges so be careful in your selection. But for the most part if you are paying in advance you will know how much before you say yes. The best values on business cards were on the internet and some of the companies that offered cards from $69.00 per 1000 cards to $120.00 per 1000 cards had no hidden charges other than shipping. They also offered good quality cards on quality card stock paper. Delivery times were not bad either, they ranged from 8 days to 15 days, similar from what you would have if you order your business cards locally.
The internet companies also have toll free numbers so you could talk to someone in person should you want to.
