It’s always amazing to see the business cards that people come up with.  Instead of taking advantage of an opportunity to get your marketing message out there, many business cards are so hokey, sleazy or generic that they do little to help.  Seth Godin recently did a post about business cards mistakes which hit a chord.  Seth writes:
