I would use layers. Unfortunately, there isn't a really good beginners manual for layers, but take a look at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and http://wiki.contextgarden.net/BusinessCard (and maybe even http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/details.pdf ). I remember struggling because those examples are a bit complicated to start with, but better than nothing. The nice thing with layers is that once you get it, you can adjust everything by millimeter until it sits just right (and just right for your printer, variations in paper feed may make 1-2 mm differences between printers). And as long as you put each block on a layer of its own, you can move it independently, e.g. move the logo 3mm to the right but keep the text blocks where they are.
