Here’s the deal folks…
Unless you have been living under a rock you know that I conceived and designed a MM “calling card” – you leave it under someone’s windshield to steer them to the site. I must have given away over 15,000 of these over the past two years… anyway, since I created them I made up a special batch just for me imprinted with my screen name on them. [see picture]. Last month when Mac turned me on to Sutton High Performance to re-do my dyno tune I was so thrilled that he was going to actually show up there to keep me company and make sure they did it correctly I thought I would surprise him with a box of cards with HIS info printed on them. [In his case, he wanted his screen name and cell number on the cards]. I also gave him a choice of color for the cardstock… he chose blue, perfect for a cop, I guess.
So today another member here says, ”Hey Poke, how much for a box [500] of cards”. Got me to thinking that I ought to offer these to others too.
Anyway, I was thinking of $30 per box plus shipping. I am not sure if the price is too high or not but it takes me about 15 minutes using InDesign to change the name; another 40 minutes to print and maybe 10 minutes to cut the cards.
I have most colors, blue, white, red, pink, yellow, green, orange, etc.
I would create the card and send you a jpg draft before I printed so you would know what is was going to look like before I printed it That takes time also… hence the cost. Where did I come up with a figure of $30? Well, I just made it up.
Any takers???
Remember, you can always get some free regular cards any time… just see my thread.
