I am starting a wedding planning business and working on my business cards. Are there any thoughts on using glossy coated or uncoated business cards? I have a friend who used coated and I can’t use pencil to write on it but I can use pen (in case the clients need to write something or I do).

Thanks for your input!

You can get UV coating on one or two sides. I think UV coating is very elegant, however you typically cannot write on them. However, if you need to write on them, perhaps you can have them UV coated on one side, and the back side can be still glossy, but uncoated so you can write on them.

I’ve used Reduced Printing (www.reducedprinting.com), and they print on thick glossy paper. Last time I’ve used them I used coupon code "google25" and saved $25 but I’m not sure if it still works. They have good quality, I do recommend them.

I am looking for a guide for seo and internet marketing.

Aaron Wall’s SEOBook.com is the best, by far. Also, the info at SEOmoz.org is solid.

I’m not connected to either of these organizations, although I know the people involved with them from the SEO industry.
