Business Cards

You never thought and internet-based business would need printed business cards, did you? Always have a good supply of business cards on your person no matter where in world you are traveling.

Letterheads

If you check inside your own head and while viewing adverts etc. you will discover that you associated logos with brands rather than the name of the company. Make sure you letterheads carry the logo and your website address prominently.

You do not need to go to some fancy printer in order to make simple flyers. Design them on your computer so that they look good in black and white. Take a good quality printout and then get that Xeroxed at a cheap price. You can use colored flyers for special occasions (or have your logo as the only thing in color). Post these wherever you can, at groceries, malls, post offices, banks, and so on. Since you are saving on ink cost, try to pick bright colored paper on which the black and grey ink shades will really stand out.
