You know when "they" say that a consumer will tell on average 3 other people if he had a good experience with a product or company, but they will tell 6 other people if they had a bad experience?
Well, on the blogosphere seems to be more extreme than that. You'll see 10 posts trashing a product/company from an average blogger for each 1 post complimenting a product/company.
This is one of those rare "this-product-is-great" post...
Two weeks I need a new batch of business cards. The last time (which was the first time as well) I went to Kinko's. Horibble quality. I could see the pixels on the card! The color was awful and the paper not that great either.
This time I decided to find a more professional service, so I went online and investigated about 4 companies. After much debate (with myself), I decided to try Digital Room. A-mazing!
The quality of the card -- which is what matters the most for me -- is outstanding. It feels great. When I compare with business cards from other VCs, CEOs and Consultants, this is much better. The colors are outstanding.
Now, the big surprise, it cost just about $35 bucks for 1000 cards!
I strongly recommend them. I did a tricky design, with bleeding and they executed flawlessly. The bad thing is that the minimum order is 1000 cards, and that is just too much. I never did more than 250 at a time.
I was a really disappointed with the color calibration of my monitor, the card looked darker than I wanted, and the fonts end up a bit too big for me. Now I'll need to pass around 1,000 cards to need to order more cards. :)
