Brilliant Agent Business Cards!

Everything I know about being an agent I learned from Ari on Entourage.

literary_agentIn other words, next to nothing.

What I do know is that clients want an agent that makes them feel valued, important, and like they’re getting as much exposure as possible.

Michelle Wolfson – literary agent and creator of these business cards – is clearly doing something right.

Rather than using the front of her card to promote her agency, she promotes her clients instead. Each business card displays a different book cover of one of the authors she represents.

Brilliant.

These cards were printed by Moo.com – an innovating printer that allows you to print up to 50 different images per pack of business cards.

The possibilities are endless. Not just for sports agents, real estate agents, and literary agents, but for any business owner who wants a memorable and attention grabbing business card with which to wow clients and prospective clients alike.

Most Expensive Business Cards Ever?

When you hear “expensive business cards” what comes to mind?

A $3 business card?

An $8 business card?

How about a $2600 business card?

most_expensive_business_cardsYep, that’s 18kt solid gold right there.

And when that’s not luxurious enough (say, when you’re selling an island) there’s also a 22kt solid gold business card. One of those will set you back $3300!

I just came across these at PureMetalCards – purveyors of the most luxurious and expensive business cards I’ve ever seen. They also sell brass, copper, stainless steel, sterling silver, and super-cool carbon fiber business cards.

I’d get one… I’m just concerned it would weigh down my wallet.

INK Garden Review – for Business Cards and Way More…

image I just came across a new site for business cards.

That, and about a 100 other customizable products too.

Everything from mouse pads and mugs, to holiday cards, shirts, wall calendars, business postcards, banners, magnets, and more.

Naturally, I’m more interested in the business cards, but my impression for the other products is essentially the same.

Awesome modern designs.

These are not your typical clip art style design templates you see at a lot of online print shops.

The designs actually look cool, and they’re quite customizable.

I’ll update on the quality when I get my order, but for the meantime check out the design templates for your industry. Admit it, Ink Garden is a cut above the norm if you’re looking for design help, low print runs, and affordable prices.

Digital Business Card Apps Tested (Just not by Me)

digital business card apps I’ve written before about the onslaught of digital business card apps, and my overall opinion of the options available.

As an eco-conscious individual I like the thought behind them.

As a marketer, I don’t.

I just came across a great article on the topic from someone who did what I have not. Michelle Mastin of PC World actually tested a whole bunch of digital business card apps – CardFlick, Snapdat, CardCloud, and Bump among them – and despite some general praise for the apps themselves, she makes a good case against them.

Here’s her article: Digital Business Card Apps Tested: The Future is Not Quite Ready

My belief has always been that a paper business card is simply a more effective marketing tool.

It makes a stronger and more lasting impression than a digital card, or bump, or whatever.

Michelle makes another great point…

These apps are supposed to be convenient, but when you’re networking it can be a pain in the you know what to take out your phone, unlock it, open the app, and then perform the necessary function to exchange info.

To that I say: Yup.

Of course, unlike her, I’ve yet to actually try them.

PrintRunner Goes Green(er)

cjaxqK PrintRunner has made 100% recycled paper available on a whole host of printing products, making it the latest printing company to go green. Or should I say even greener. They already use vegetable inks exclusively, employ one of the most efficient printing presses in the world, recycle all of their own waste paper and printing plates, and take numerous other efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.

They’re also FSC Certified and are taking steps to become one of the first printing companies to be certified under the Los Angeles Green Business Program.

Kudos PrintRunner!
