How We Travel :: MOO cards

give every day mini cards How We Travel :: MOO cards Over a month ago, we waved good-bye to our family, our friends, and our home…heading out into unchartered territory. We sold almost everything we owned, packed the rest into a 5th wheel, and are now traveling the country to give to others.

It’s been scary, exhausting, wonderful, terrifying…good. At this very minute, I’m sitting at a small table inside our RV in Mobile, Alabama. Tim is out exploring the area with the girls, undoubtedly looking for alligators.

When we meet people on the road, we often hand out these little cards by MOO. They’re an online printing company and the quality of their cards is bar-none. The paper is ultra-glossy and smooth to the touch…and the printing is exceptional. The best part is that they’re miniature, which makes them stand out from the crowd (and also – they’re less formal that way).

I MOO. Do you?

If you have a blog, there’s a good chance that you spend a large amount of time thinking up ways to get your name known and your traffic up.

One way to get the word out is by having some kind of promotional item to hand out to people in your target audience. The most common promo item is a good, old-fashioned business card. But I knew I wanted something different. Something less stodgy. Something casual, laid-back, fun, “friend-y.” I wanted my piece to say, “Hey, how’s it going? I’d love to get to know you better. Maybe we can become friends…”

Then, I found MOO MiniCards. It turns out that this mod, forward-thinking company was thinking the same thing: “Our first product, MiniCards, came about when we realized that sometimes, we wanted to hand out details of our personal sites, and we just didn’t have a nice way to do it. A business card was too cheesy, too serious, or too… businessy, and didn’t represent us the way we really are. A hastily scribbled piece of paper is more personal, but who ever has paper or a pen when you want it? We needed something else. So we made MiniCards. Little cards – about half the size of a business card – with your own photos, designs and text on.”

These cards are *PERFECT* for bloggers. They stand out. They’re fun. They’re functional. People always say, “hey, that’s cool” when I had them one of my new MiniCards.

If you’re looking for a great way to get the word out about your blog, check out MOO. If you have a business or website, these would be perfect for that too. Or maybe you just want a mommy calling card that looks different than a standard business card. MOO has you covered.

So, tell me: What would you do with a pack of MiniCards?
