Blogger Business Cards

April 1, 2009

Just printed 200 business cards for my blog. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! Thanks to Claudia’s recommendation, I printed 200 cards at Tommy Prints for just S$24 – about 17 US dollars – with matte lamination. What a steal!

Why would bloggers need business cards?!

For me, I attend quite a few local social media events not only as a corporate representative, but also as a blogger. However, handing out my corporate card instantly brands me as a corporate representative. So people find it difficult to reconcile between Ivy the blogger and Ivy the corporate communications executive from that telco with the iPhone. And of course, it doesn’t help that my blog’s name is unpronounciable to most. (It’s NAAN-YAH-TAY, people.) So a blogger card is exactly what I need to let people know that I too am a blogger.

As for you? I suggest you read Claudia’s entry on why bloggers should have name cards, ’cause I can’t top that entry. :P

Get your own Nanyate?! business card!

For those of you who live in Singapore, you can get one at the next social media event or we could just meet up for coffee. For those of you who live in the rest of the world, just e-mail me your mailing address! :)

Dear Readers, do you think bloggers need business cards? Do you think you need business cards? Why or why not?

Best Wordpress Design Award

March 11, 2009

[narcissism]

A la Teddy’s recommendation, I decided to participate in WPWebHost’s Best Wordpress Design Award. Nanyate?! doesn’t quite fit in any category, so I’m just going to go for Modern and Elegant like everyone else.

Let’s hope Nanyate?! makes semi-finals and you can all vote for me. :D

[/narcissism]

How to participate?

Your website must be powered by WordPress.

Picking the winners

Like our previous competition, the WPWebHost team will select a top 10 websites of each category and the public (YOU!) shall vote for the winners.

Prizes

The winners will get a badge (think of it like a trophy) which link back to the page stating the winners. And like all the awards, it’s all about glory and not so much about the money. That being said, we are giving away $200 COLD HARD CASH (via PayPal) to the winner of each category. If you are already not hosted with WPWebHost (a lot of WordPress blogs already are), we’d love to throw in a life-time hosting sponsorship offer too (we will waive your future bills if you are a customer).
