1. Although the home page will remain basically the same,  the user who chooses to click any product’s “Start Now” button will be taken to a brand new interface. Here the user can either upload their current business card design, start a new design from scratch in the design studio, or design a new card from a gallery of hundreds of category relevant templates. The choice is yours!
2. Wile we’ve carved out an impressive niche in premium business cards, we’ve had numerous queries for other related printed products like envelopes, letterheads, postcards, sell sheets, brochures and the like. So you’ll be presented with these products and more. Again, you can upload a design, start from scratch in our design studio or use one of our templates as a starting point.
3. You’ll be asked to sign in before you purchase a card product. This way, you can access your account at any time to see what you’ve ordered and when. Best of all, your designs will be available to re-order or to revise and re-order. It couldn’t be easier!

If there is a product or feature you want to see, just blog it here. We’ll be giving more details as the Nexcards re-lunch approaches.

I celebrate Christmas, and it is truly my favorite time of the year.  But hey, this blog is about business cards, right?  So I thought I would combine the two topics and list 10 things you could do with your custom business cards this holiday season…

1. Include a business card with your holiday business correspondence (for example, put your business card in any Christmas cards you send to your clients).
2. Distribute your card at any and all holiday functions you happen to attend.
3. Use your glossy business cards as gift labels.
4. Print silk business cards with coupon codes in order to facilitate a holiday promotion.
5. Find places within your local mall to distribute your business cards.  You may even be able to partner with a few stores to put a stack of your cards on the checkout counter.  All malls are packed with people this time of year, so think about ways to tap into this mass of humanity.
6. If you are in a business that encourages holiday gift-giving to clients, a nice touch is to give out a small box of candies – about the diameter of a standard business card, just enough to fit a few pieces of chocolate – and use a graphic of your custom business cards as the lid.
7. If you have metal business cards, think about transforming them into Christmas tree ornaments and hand them out to clients as holiday gifts.
8. Going to a family function?  Why not descretley pass out your card to everyone in attendance? 
9. Expand your silk business cards to the size of a holiday greeting card, and mail them to clients. 
10. Use your glossy business cards as kindling to get the ‘ole Yule Log started! (ha, ha…I just had to end with some humor).

So there you have it, an imprompteu list of things to do with your custom business cards this holiday season.  Whether you have glossy business cards, silk business cards, or metal business cards, I hope you found this blog post both enjoyable and useful. 

Happy Holidays!

We are very excited about the new shopping cart functionality because it further supports our core mission to provide customers with maximum customization options. Previously, customers were forced to inquire about “fringe” business card customization options by requesting a custom quote. Now, once customers click on a custom card “buy now” button, they can clearly see all the available add-on options and their associated price points.

You can now add multiple bells and whistles to any business card product to make it as unique as you wish – including rounded corners, custom cuts (starts at 1.5 x 1.5 and goes up from there in quarter-inch increments), perforation, embossing, and foil stamping (gold, silver, red, blue or green). You can even select professional graphic design services to, for example, recreate artwork in a print-ready format or even design your entire card!

These options can be added to any business card requiring you to upload your own design file. Products include silk business cards, glossy business cards, advanced business cards, luxury business cards, and more.

Our entire company is positioned around uniqueness and customization, so the new shopping cart is a natural fit. Not only can customers now see ALL the optional add-ons and each one’s price point, but any or all of them can be added to any “upload your own design” product. More options, upfront pricing, and pricing visibility – these are the true benefits this new functionality brings directly to our current and potential customers.

We hope our customers like the new functionality. Your feedback is critical, so please send us an email and let us know what you think! Our hope is to continuously refine the shopping cart over time so that it becomes more and more powerful and intuitive, and we can only do this with your help – so, don’t be shy and let us ‘have it’!
