Professionals Compete for Custom Shape Business Cards: PrintFirm.com Hosts Social Media Contest for Marketers

LOS ANGELES, CA, March 13, 2013 (Press-News.org) Despite the rise of digital media, business cards remain a big piece of the marketing puzzle. Business cards continue to circulate because they provide an easy way to pass along complete contact information on the go. But the old school standard black text on a white background no longer impresses hot prospects or promising contacts. To stand out in a web based world, business card designs need to be inspired and memorable. Many professionals focus on basic design elements, such as fonts and taglines, but they stop short of exploring all of the possibilities. Fortunately, PrintFirm.com is giving these white collar workers the tools they need to achieve their ambitions in style with an eye-catching die cut cards giveaway.

The winner will receive 250 custom shaped high definition full color business cards with plenty of creative customization options. Shape choices include leaf, half circle, wink, oval, small circle, or large circle. There are 3 different cardstock possibilities, such as 14pt glossy with UV coating on the front and back or 16 pt. in a matte finish. As an added bonus, PrintFirm uses eco-friendly inks for environmentally conscious entrepreneurs and organizations. Naturally, complementary shipping is part of the prize package valued at over $100. The lucky contestant must submit a print ready design, although custom design services are available for 50% of the regular price ($50).

Entrants complete a few simple social media tasks to increase their odds of winning. The contest ends on Monday, March 25th, at 12pm PST and is limited to US residents ages 18 or older. The winner will be selected via Random.org, and notified through email. He or she must respond within 48 hours to claim the award or PrintFirm will pick another winner. There is a brief turnaround time of 10 business days to fulfill the free order.

Michele Emeterio of Piece of Mine Catering in Encino, CA is especially excited about this promotion: "For a small business owner, an unconventional business card is a valuable weapon in the networking arsenal. Word of mouth goes only so far, but when someone has your card in their wallet, it is always right there at their fingertips." PrintFirm is proud to contribute to Emeterio's success, and hopes the honoree will show off his or her new schmoozing tool for the professional community to admire. The PrintFirm company blog will discuss business card design tips and inspiration for the duration of the campaign, so be sure to stop by and share your thoughts on the subject. This is the latest of many freebies from the best online printing company, which means more great giveaways are just around the corner.
