| Are Free Business Cards Really Free? |
|
 Every so often, I come across a business card that someone got from one of the "free business card" sites, where all you have to pay is the shipping and handling. These template based cards are easy to spot, and of course, when you hand them out, the back encourages the recipients to order their own "free" cards. In effect you, you are promoting them each time you dispense one of your business cards.
But really, what does such a card say about you and your business? Personally, it makes me think that the giver is to cheap to order more expensive, personalized cards. If a business is going to cut corners, or pinch pennies at this stage of the game, they will do the same with my job or project.
Another reason to be wary of the "free business card" scam is a practice known as cramming. These companies sell your information, including payment information to other companies, who in turn place you in a negative option scheme by placing unwanted and unauthorized charges on you credit card. It is then up to you to cancel the enrollment, and, of course, they make it difficult to obtain a refund. Here are a couple of links filled with consumer complaints:
Free? I don't think so. If you need business cards, call us, for a cost effective solution.
