I would take my 500 cards to a mountain cave in Tibet where there is a man named Sergin who, at the age of 4, was recognized as the reincarnation of a holy Guru renouned for having magical powers and told that the powers that he would enjoy would include, among others, the power to multiply business cards by the billions and the to have them turn into food items so that I could turn those 500 cards into 500 billion items of food and have them transported to the regions of the earth where hunger pervades and thus, for at least one day. . . . end world hunger. Oh, and if I didn’t find him I’d use them for my web design firm.

Nice idea for a contest. I would use them to promote a new, secret web service. Something certain people would be interested in. So you make a basic but intriguing card then go around giving them to certain people

500… That really are a lot! Maybe it’s a good idea for an alternative wallpaper on the office wall

I got myself a 1000 cards printed, but I had to close down the design firm because of my partner’s unscrupltuos activities. Now, I have a new firm now and who doesn’t like free stuff. I will use them to tell the people I am back in business.

Right now, I don’t think I need to promote myself. But maybe in the future… So I’d write on the business cards: remember me, I might become useful!

Now, 500 cards are a BIG amount. If I’d have them, I’d start up Paint and draw myself an uber-stylish design. But then I’d think something like “Paint doesn’t provide enough quality” and start Photoshop or Inkscape. Now, err, how do business cards look like?
/me Googles for “business cards”

Nice, could definitely use these. I would promote the hell out of some web design services I offer to help make the web a better more beautiful place, which is something I believe we can all agree is a very needed thing. So please if you feel the same way, give me some cards. thanks for the opportunity, it is much appreciated.

Wow! That’s alot of business cards! Maybe I don’t have to paint my studio after all…Alternatively, I think I’ll design myself an outfit made completely out of business cards, and walk around town in my sweet attire. Now that’s what I call advertising.

I believe business card is the most important marketing tool anyone can own. I would personally give it a free try on UPrinting’s product if given a chance. My personal concern is that would it be expensive (in terms of shopping cost) when you are not from the States?

I’d give them to a new client of mine, Mirror Image Duplication, which is a company that is just starting out and needs all the help they can get. I would design the cards for them as well, printing all of the text on the cards backwards, so that they could only be clearly read and understood when viewed in a mirror. This idea just popped into my head when I read about this contest - thanks for the inspiration!!

how im going to spend 500 pcs of business card? Its damn a lot. If i have the cards, my friends and I will fly to Singapore this october to give away the cards to all the people we meet along our journey to SIFE Worldcup 2008 at Singapore. Whether we like it or not, we have to give it away till the last piece of the card. Thats would be sad..

I have been looking to do business cards for awhile, free ones would give me that push to start pursuing some income from design and help break away from the corporate work i do now, need to live life a little sometimes. good luck to all.
