Calling all cards....

While I was writing about camera bags yesterday, I recalled that I have a nifty little pocket in my bag that is placed in a very handy spot, meant to hold business cards. I actually DO place business cards in that spot, and also have them in my personal bag, in my car, and tucked inside pockets of jackets, jeans, etc. It's amazing how many cards you will hand out *IF* you actually have them at hand.

I have several different cards, tailor made to highlight different aspects of my work. In my case, one card simply isn't enough. There is one just for my mandalas, one that keeps things simple and lists mostly the vital details, and many sets of MOO mini cards.

MOO minis are far and away the crowd favorite, and the most fun to hand out. They come in sets of 100, and measure just 28x70mm. The entire set can have one image placed on the back, or you can select a different photo for each of the 100, or you can mix and match images in any proportion that you wish. I often offer a short stack of them , turned upside down, so that folks can pick any card they wish, at random, and be surprised. It's uncanny how often the selected image is just perfect for the person who chose it.

Obviously, the cards are fun and useful for professionals, but they could also be even more fun when put to other uses. I shall have to put my thinking cap on, 'cuz these cards are just too cute to be only for business.

 

In any case, carry plenty of business cards with you at all times. It makes a greater impact, and is more likely to be saved, seen, and shared if your cards are unique, and are truly a reflection of you and your work. If you need some help putting your business cards together, please do let me know. I love creating them and have lots of ideas for affordable printing options.
