Hi
I have recently set up a company and am in need of purchasing or creating some business stationary. Does anyone have any advice for me as to good places to order from.
I am mainly in need of some business cards and some letterhead paper. I need the letterhead as I need to email some large companies with details of my business idea and hopefully arrange a meeting with them. Therefore I imagine it needs to be a letter of a good quality.
Does anyone have any advice about logos too?
I dont really have the time to come up with a logo for my business as yet - so would a simple templated business card and letterhead from an online company be ok - or would this present a bad image to any of the companies I contact ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi Amber,
Personally, I wouldn't go for a templated business card and letterhead, it will look much more professional to have your own unique identity. Vistaprint offer great deals on printing and from my experience are quick to deliver. Regarding the logo and lack of time, if you would like to email me through my site at www.sarahpatience.co.uk I might be able to help you.

For printers I would try Sense Creative.
They did a great job on my own business cards, high quality output, good service and a very a ordinary price.
I would agree with Sarah regarding logos, get one done properly - and make sure you aren’t getting an "off the shelf" design that lots of other companies will be getting with your name slapped on top of. It needn’t cost a fortune to get a reasonable design sorted out, just check their portfolio carefully before you agree to have one completed for you.
