UPrinting has generously offered to give away 250 business cards to each of two lucky winners. In the interest of full disclosure, they are a sponsor of my blog. I’m not hosting this giveaway so that they’ll continue to sponsor me; as far as I know I don’t have to participate in any of the giveaways they offer to remain sponsored. I’m doing this because I think it is important to have business cards if you want to be taken seriously and as a professional, so I think all book bloggers (and lots of other people too!) should have them. Oh, and I want some.
I used to have business cards, but then I went self-hosted and changed my look, so they became out of date. That was over a year ago and I’ve never gotten new ones. Since I’m planning to go to BEA this year, I need to have business cards to hand out. In hosting this giveaway, not only will two of YOU get 250 business cards, but I will too. This is my first experience with a UPrinting product, so I can’t vouch for them, but for free I (and you!) might as well give them a try. They have design options available, or you can upload your own template.
Here are the specifics of what you can get:
250 business cards for Two Lucky Winners (Free UPS Ground Shipping in USA)
Sizes: 2 x 3.5”, 2 x 3”, 2 x 2” (square card) or 1.5 x 3.5” (skinny card)
Paper: 14 pt gloss cardstock, 14 pt matte cardstock or 13 pt recycled uncoated cardstock
Specifications: Full Color Both Sides; Offset Press; 3 Business Day Printing
Important Info:
- This giveaway is open to people from the US and Canada only. If you reside in the US, this is totally free. If you live in Canada, though, you will have to pay shipping and any applicable taxes. Sorry.
- This giveaway will run until Tuesday, October 20th at 11:59pm Central.
- If you win, you will NOT need to send me your address, I will send your name and email address (which I already have when you leave a comment) to UPrinting, so please do not enter unless you are okay with me sending UPrinting your email address.
- UPrinting will contact the winners by email on October 23rd with a coupon good for your 250 free business cards.
How to Enter:
- Leave a comment letting me know how you plan to use your business cards, if you win.
- Tweet or blog about this giveaway and leave me the URL in a separate comment. If you tweet it, please include @devourerofbooks in your tweet.
- Become a subscriber of my blog and tell me about it (or tell me if you already are) in a separate comment.
Good luck!

I’m pretty well stocked on business cards for the book blog, but could REALLY use some more for my Etsy shop. Please enter me!
Tweeted too! http://twitter.com/lharsma/status/4761261075
And last, I already subscribe in Google Reader (and on Twitter!)
I would absolutely love to have cards. But since my blog is not income-producing, I’m not sure I can justify the expense. But winning the cards would be the way to go! I am hoping to attend SIBA next year, and possibly more events, so I am going to need them! Thank you for offering this! I’m crossing my fingers! (I am a follower!)
I would love these for a friend who is starting up a business. I would surprise him with ready made business cards.

And you KNOW I subscribe to your blog
Oooooo, nice giveaway Jen! I am forever handing out information about my blog at author events I attend, personal activities where people want to know about it…and next week I’ll be giving out a lot of info at Bouchercon. Can’t wait! Would love to update that info in a classy new business card. Thanks!!

Very cool giveaway! I’ve been meaning to get business cards for my blog (archthinking) for a while and I keep putting it off.
And I subscribe via Google Reader.
Business cards for my blog… there is a concept that I hadn’t ever thought of before. This would seriously be something that I should have already thought of but didn’t until it was pointed out to me. I learned a lot of other great business ideas that should have been obvious to me in Kenneth Eisold’s latest book, “What You Don’t Know You Know: Our Hidden Motives in Life, Business, and Everything Else.”
I would love to have some business cards to spread the word about the blog my husband and I recently started. We have discovered the joy of reading aloud as a couple and want to share the idea with other couples.
I’d love to have new business cards because my last ones were printed before I had a twitter account. ;-(
This is weird because JUST THIS MORNING I was looking into getting some blog business cards printed for myself! I enclose them with giveaway books I send (so they know where the book came from) and with all books I send out with Paperback Swap. Plus I hope to attend some book events this year and I think they would come in handy. I was making them myself but it has been time-consuming and (to be honest) they don’t look that professional. Plus I just bought my own domain name — which is why I was looking at printing them. Good luck to me!!
Hi Bunny,
I would use the business cards for my business!
Please let me know if I win!
Thanks,
Shannon
