A good business card is absolutely essential.. If you go to a conference, you’re likely to collect a hundred or more cards over the course of the event! The key is to have a hard that sticks out from the crowd and gets noticed. I have a great looking card for my e-commerce site that was designed by a buddy of mine who does high-end graphic design work. It’s a double-sided, full-color card printed on thick stock with a matte finish. It really leaves an impression with people, and I ALWAYS get a comment on them when handing them out. And, it didn’t cost a fortune - I got 2000 cards (designed and printed) for around $300.

For those with bigger budgets, here is a collection of the coolest business cards I’ve ever seen:
