Brian (Creative Director of Brian Joseph Studios), started what looks to be a promising post, “Business Cards of Bloggers”. The instructions are simple: write a blog post on the subject, add your business card, then send the url to Brian. Easy.
Here’s mine …

Why the different designs? It’s all down to type of client really. And guessing that type of client within the first moments. More masculine or feminine. Soft or not. One or the other. And sometimes both.
And whether it mattered or not to them, it gave added confidence to me.
That’s right. I never totally got over my shyness. Mostly, but not in full. So where Monk tapped fence posts, I took a choice of business cards (and more). It worked.
If you are also interested in sharing your business cards, go ahead and send them on to Brain. And be sure to pass on a howdy from me. Ok?

Hi Cat! Thank you for the post!
I have never heard of someone having different business cards depending on who they meet. That is extremely interesting. It does seem like a great idea as every other piece of marketing we do is designed and targeted to a certain market/type of person etc…, so why not your business card as well.
Thanks again!

Hi Brian, I’m not sure how it is in the west, but I work in SE Asia and there are definitely different types of clients.
Some I can tell right away from their emails. Some from previous contact.
And like mentioned, some are first timers so I get to take ‘my moment’ and guess.
And having a card that winks is also an icebreaker :-)

Hey, Cat, how are you?!
So I’m sitting in a Greek restaurant in Chicago over the weekend, chatting with Joanna Young, and she mentions that someone in Southeast Asia designed her site. Thinking it’s a long shot, I ask her who that is…and of course, it’s you! Small world, this.
I saw your post linked from over at Brian Yerkes’ blog and thought I’d stop in to say hello.
Best,
Tammy

Hey Tammy! I’m doing more than fine. Life finally slowed down (which is a relief).
There you are with Joanna from Scotland and all, finding a connection all the way over here in Thailand. Small world, yes?
I was wondering if you and Joanna were going to get together at SOBcon. And I wish I’d been there too. But, there are too many things going on this year for me.
And thanks for dropping by. Every so often I’m over at your blog. I really need to get into a habit of leaving a word or two (I’m working on it now that Joanna has broken me out of my reluctance of writing).
