In love: with my business cards
November 18, 2008

My business cards for my blog have FINALLY arrived: all 2500 of them. These have been a long time in coming. One, it took me forever to decide what I wanted them to say and look like. Then I needed to wait for my brother to design them. Then I kept screwing up the online ordering process. The poor people at the company that made the cards had to cancel THREE of my orders before I finally ordered and paid for what I wanted.Then, you know, the pony express had to deliver them.
But they arrived in a big box yesterday. Take a look. Sorry, I'm not the best photographer and my cheap camera has a terrible flash. But you can get the idea. On one side is my logo and cartoon image. On the other is the URL and slogan: Because Life After "I Do" Isn't Always So Charming.
They are full color and heart shaped. I got the idea from Peter Shankman, who spoke at an STS event a few months ago and who uses poker chips for his business cards. His theory is that odd shaped cards stand out. Well mine stand out. One downside is that they do not fit into a wallet, which means they could easily get lost amongst the rest of the junk in a woman's purse.
Still, I do love them. Now I just need to find 2500 people to give them to.
