The past few weeks I have been meeting lots of Portland artist and because of that my wallet has become stuffed with business cards. Just last night alone I collected 15 new cards at an Artists’ Open Studio collective. As both an artist and a student I’m always looking for the most cost effective ways to promote myself and business cards are a great first step in cheap self promotion.
This month only (November) Phoenix Media PDX is running a special where you get 250 Business Cards for FREE. At the time of pick-up, just bring at least 5 non-perishable food items, which will be donated to the Oregon Food Bank. A great cause that benefits all who take advantage of this promotion.
I also found some great ideas on the Studio Art Direct Blog to help promote yourself in the current economic climate we are in.
