When I posted about purchasing some new business cards, I received some great recommendations. Included were metal business cards and even a business card using Wordle.
I decided to go in a completely opposite direction from my original cards. When folks hand me their business cards these days, I don’t have them for long - I get home and add them to Plaxo and LinkedIn and then I toss them - regardless of how beautiful they are. That inspired me to go with a new option:
Using a quick search, I found a company online that prints custom Post-It Note pads that are the size of a business card! I ordered a bunch of them and they got here within 2 weeks. The cards came out perfect, completely in line with the online tool I used to edit them. I selected a font that was easy to read and I designed them with a call out on the my site’s URL. I’m even encouraging folks to ‘Circle’ a topic so they can remember why we met or why to call me!
I really wanted something unique and believe these fit the bill. What do you think?

I think you could use that on an actual business card and make it even better using both sides. On one side have a headshot of you (so they remember what you look like), your details and an invitation to get a free [something] at your site, then have the (circle) list on the other.
