The business card company MOO is giving away $250,000 in free business card redesigns (that’s 500 of them), as part of something called “The Business Card Project.”
Just fill out a short form, submit your business card, and they’ll pick 500 business cards to redesign.
Gotta like those odds.
If you’re not familiar with MOO (see below to enter their contest) their concept is AWESOME.
Essentially, each of your business cards can feature a DIFFERENT image on one side — up to 50 different images per set.
So, for example, a contractor might feature pictures of a dozen remodel jobs they’ve done including a bathroom, a kitchen, a deck, an add-on, etc., so they have a card depending on what a prospect is interested in. A restaurant might feature mouthwatering images of their most popular entrees… or a collection of simple cooking tips… or a few recipes from their dessert menu.
Feature different products, different colors, different quotes, whatever floats your boat.
The options are endless.
That’s because image definitely plays a role in a salon’s success.
Whether you own a hair salon, nail salon, spa, or massage business, these unique salon business cards are bound to give you some great ideas for your own cards.

DJ Business Card 1:
An award winning card by Deepak Nagar & Nasheet Shadani for DJ Mohit
“We created a card that replicated the scratch console to instantly draw attention to our DJ’s profession as well as efficiently deliver the idea of practically scratching the disk. The card generated a lot of hype as it successfully registered with people and at the same time it got nominated in many award shows.”

A good business card is still a good marketing tool
A lot of blog posts and other commentary has surfaced about retiring the business card forever, opting instead for new technologies that make information sharing easy (generally, using a smartphone).
I object. For many reasons.
But forget my personal objections for the moment (or rather read about them here)
Here is a great NY Times blog post that summarizes some other people’s responses on this issue.
Read: O.K. I Guess We’re Not Retiring the Business Card (Yet)
What do you think?
Is it time to retire the business card? Or does this marketing tool still have some legs?

Easy Die Cut Business Cards
Fully customized die cut business cards take time and money to develop.
Often they’re worth it — but not everyone has the wherewithal (and often the creativity!) to come up with ideas like the above. That said, if you’re looking for simple die cut shapes that stand out (but are easy to get) check these guys out.
You can just choose your shape from a drop down box with one click.
As far as die cut cards, that’s about as easy as it gets.

The back looks pretty legit as well with a place for a logo or information or event details or something.
