Business By countrycaker Updated 2 Feb 2011 , 12:14am by CakeInfatuation
Do you use them? What information do you put on them? Where do you distribute them? What's the best place to order them from?
VISTAPRINT.com!!!!
I have my name, number, email and website.
I have them on my table at shows. And keep some in my purse.

Ditto! VistaPrint has great deals, and you can upload your own logos.
I also tape a few to the box on birthday cakes. I don't put them on Wedding Cake boxes though, just seems tacky. You can also look into some cake supply stores. My local store keeps a business card display by the register. She says people ask all the time for custom cake shops, so she just points them to the business cards. Some even mistake her for a custom bakery, so she can also point those customers to your business.

We also use Vistaprint. In addition to the above info, you should also include your core competency and competitive advantage on your card so people can see at a glance why they should give you their business.
If you are not getting through 100's a month, moo.com is another great place. Much more expensive but super quality and you can have your info on one side, and photos of your cakes on the other - they let you have 50 different photos on 50 cards if you want.
I used to use them but have since changed to a local printer, although I designed my cards myself. DH tried Vistaprint for his - I recommended he try because of all the great reviews on here actually! - but he wasn't at all happy with the print quality (he did get his money back from them so not all was lost).
hmm, I have never had a problem with quality..... but you do pay for better, not perfect wit hthe free

I think he means something like "Specializing in..." My business card has a two-line phrase like that.

Ditto.
And the Moo minicards are the cutest things. I had a lot of them done for my sister and her cakes...Just chose the beautiful cake-related free illustrations, and put the tiny amount of info she needed on the other side.

Your core competency is basically something you can do really well that not many other people can do. If none of your competitors share your core competency, it is considered a competitive advantage.
For example, our core competency is making professionally-decorated baked goods without common allergens. Some other examples might be recipes for unusual products with unique flavors, or the ability to make elaborate 3D fondant designs.
I use VistaPrint. I upload my own design with my logo, 3 cake photos, and cake info on one side. The back has info on my gourmet candy and the social networking sites I'm on.
I get the glossy on the front and full color on the back. I LOVE my cards and you can't beat the price! I get like 1,000 full color front and back for under $75! It's a steal!
