So I just found out today that there is a Alternative Health Fair in my town on saturday. Im so excited because it will be the perfect place to network but....

My business cards havent come in the mail yet.

I dont want to look unprofessional but I dont want to pass up such a great chance to meet potential referances.

And going and buying some quick ones isnt an option because I have NO money..

Help?

Can you print some up at home on your printer? Avery and offbrands make a business card template. That's what I did in the beginning. Good luck!!!

Kinkos? I have a printer, but whenever I want to do a whole bunch of printing I will ocassionally go to Kinkos and use their self-serve printers.

I believe that you could also do the same at Staples or Office Depot.

You could print out flyers, too, if you didn't want to do business cards.

You could hand out some samples of something, say luna bars, pregnancy tea or preggie pops w/a tag that inlcudes your contact information instead of a business card. You could have the tags printed at any office supply store usually. Use a card stock, you should be able to get 10 or more to a page. If you design them at home and load them on a disk or flash drive, you should be able to have someone else print them for you.
OR if your crafty and into the scrapbooking/stamping thing, you could make up some really nice tags this was as well and hand print your info.

You have a computer so your halfway there!

You can create a biz card,postcard, letter of intro at home and have Staples or Kinko(or a nice friend) print them for cheap

You could buy some simple notecards from the dollar store and hand write a brief intro on them and give those out.

You can use craft paper and hand cute something cute (duckie, teddy bear, heart)and add your name and number.

Time to get creative!

Good Luck
