I attended a conference recently and wanted to print some business cards with different URLs for different purposes. (I wear many hats as a multimedia developer, author, editor, and P2P programmer.)
I picked up a $10 Business Card Maker program from Cosmi at CompUSA. Another $10 garnered me some Avery 8371 business card stock (250 cards, 10 cards/sheet).
The software is pretty mundane, but it comes with an adequate editor, some sample layouts, and enough clip art to handle almost any situation. I used a picture of a globe on one card, and a cartoon character carrying books on another card. I printed them up the day before the conference and included my brand new cell phone number.
This week, I'm moving both my home and office, so I'll print up some more cards for friends, relatives, and business associates. I even made up cards for my six-year-old daughter to give out to friends (she's changing schools, but we're only moving 10 minutes away). Her violin teacher liked the cards so much that she asked if I'd make her some!
My favorite business card story is as follows:
Mary: When did you become a writer, John?
John: When I printed up business cards that said "Author" on them!
Mary: Obviously a writer of fiction! :)
The business card kit allows me to print small batches tailored to specific needs. They look great even on a cheap Lexmark Z22 color ink jet printer. Highly recommended!

This is one way of saving money, and for a new business that is limited on funds this is a great way to go thanks for the information look forward to coming again.
Another option is a service like TextID--a recently launched novel way to help people communicate with customers, colleagues and friends—WITHOUT paper. TextID allows users to purchase unique text “domains”, such as their names or businesses that allows them to pass along contact information and messages quickly and conveniently. They can give out their ID, lawn care or Angie for example, and the recipient texts that name to 555411. In just a few moments, they will receive a text back to their phones with contact information and the message the TextID member has chosen, which can also include a pdf file or brochure.
Obviously the new service has a wide range of applications, from personal to commercial. Whether for realtors looking to get pricing and home information into a potential buyer’s hand while they are out looking for a home, a hip teacher providing up-to-date assignment and test information, a restaurant passing on weekly specials, a club promoter pushing the weekend band, or someone just looking to make the dating scene a bit easier, Text ID works great for a variety of users.
