Business Card Contest: Enter Today!
As you are probably well aware, I frequently talk about how to market your freelance writing services as well as why it is important. That being said, I have never discussed the power of business cards. But what better time than now?
The good people at UPrinting.com have generously offered to sponsor a contest for free business cards. And since I know all of you guys and gals want to better your freelance writing career, I accepted the offer.
Here are the details of the contest:
1. I am giving away 250 business cards each to three readers.
2. To enter, you must be subscribed to my RSS feed via email. Make sure that your RSS email matches your comment email.
3. Once subscribed, leave a comment telling us how you would use these business cards to advance your career. Not only will this enter you into the contest but it will also help us all to better understand how to successfully use business cards as a marketing tool.
4. Next Tuesday I will randomly select three winners.
* UPrinting.com can only ship to the United States and Canada.
Once the winners are selected, I will post them here. Make sure that you leave an email address (matching your RSS address) along with your comment. This will allow me to get in touch with the winners.
Here are some details of the prize at stake, straight from UPrinting.com:
They can choose any of our stocks, including the eco-friendly cover stock (13 pt. Cover Uncoated - Recycled) or the 14 pt. family in Matte, AQ, or UV at any custom size we offer such as square cards, odd sizes like 3×3, 2×2, etc.
As you can see, winners are going to get much more than basic business cards. The company is well known for their high quality business card printing. Even if you do not wind up a winner, I would still suggest UPrinting.com for all of your business card and related printing needs.
It is time to get started. I look forward to reading all of your comments, and providing three of you with 250 free business cards!

I am considering offering translation services soon, so these business cards might be of some help while taking off.
Thanks for the chance to win.

While I have been a copywriter for a few years, I am taking my business to the next level. I have just redone my website, and business cards would be a valuable marketing tool. Thank you for the chance to win this business tool.

I recently plunged into the realm of freelancing on a full-time basis. In the meantime, I had to redesign and relaunch my website under a new domain, so I have to begin the marketing process again for the new blog. Business cards are an excellent offline marketing tool, and they’d come in handy!

250 business cards!?! I am taking on new clients in business research as well as freelance writing, so new business cards would be great. I have a goal of $2,000/month by my third month, and I could hand these out at board meetings of my local press club, at events to PR and marketing reps; pretty much everywhere. I feel lost without real business cards! Thank you for entering me in the contest.

Since marketing is such an integral part of copywriting, it is only right to fully learn how to successfully market myself/brand first…proving to clients that I can in fact follow through with the services I offer. 250 business cards will contribute to my first cold call campaign packkage! Following my six step campaign (thanks in part to Clayton Makepeace’s Total Package advice), the business cards would be a part of my sample package sent out to prospective clients. Even if they don’t choose my services, besides other jazzy marketing materials, business cards are great to toss in rolodexes and to put into organizers. Marketing is the exciting part of copywriting, writing is pure passion. Thanks for the opportunity to win the business cards Chris, I really appreciate it.
