I personally think buisness cards are a great asset to selling your handmade jewelry, have some made!! Even if you have to design them yourself, do it! I currently use Adobe Photoshop for all of my design needs. I love it! But, to be honest I haven’t tried any other programs. I know they are out there! So look around! Or look around the net, there are some talented graphic design artists who offer great prices.
When you’ve got something you like together, call around to some different print agencies and have them give you a quote. Then, choose your favorite place and voila!
Hand out your fantabulous cards to everyone! and be sure to include a couple (so your customers can hand them out to friends, or have an extra if they misplace one) with every handmade jewelry order you get. Word of mouth is the best advertisement, and with a card in their hand to remind them where they got this gorgeous peice of handmade jewelry you should get more return customers!

1I do use business cards, and am learning Photoshop, but have not yet reached a point of making my cards myself. BUT I think the idea is fantastic; I’d love to be able to have different designs, and to easily add new items to my cards to update and customize cards to events. Thank you.

2There are also companies out there that will give you free business cards. I have used VistaPrint, and if you choose from their free catalog of designs, you only have to pay S&H for 250 free business cards…which I thought was pretty darn good. They also will do a custom card for dirt cheap. I’m always looking for the best bargain since everyone knows this “hobby” we have isn’t quite cheap.

3It is very important to have business cards. I have been caught without them and I still regret it. It makes you look unprofessional and unorganized.
