Folding Business Cards

Okay, we're putting the call out. We've just ordered a large number of Team 93 business cards. What we are looking for are about 50 volunteers that are willing to commit to handing out a hundred cards. We're talking analog spam here. The digital spam worked so well that we are taking this roadshow offline. :p

Here is the card:

So, if you're interested in getting a package with 100 cards in it, please post in this thread "yes, i'm interested". Later I'll be contacting you for your shipping address.

You should hand out the cards to everyone you know. For example, I'm going to send one or two out in every package I ship out from an ebay sale. I'm going to put a few on the bulletin board at the local coffee shop, etc.

If too many people volunteer, we will be basing our decision on how creative you intend to be with handing out the cards. So let me know in this thread what you plan on doing with them :thumbsup:

    Me too! These can end up on quite a few bulletin boards at my college. As well as in my eBay packages.

    "yes, i'm interested"...hand them out at work like hotcakes, we only got about 340 customers i see every week.

    p.s. last time i checked stanford stats there were only about 165,000 active cpu's, not millions. not bitchin thou, cause the cards kickass :thumbsup:

    I live in one of the greatest cities in the world. I think the NYC subway alone would be a good place to start.

    yes, I've love to have some. My interesting idea: talk to local computer businesses to give the business cards out with new systems / ask them if I could booth at their store for a day and talk to people / hand out cards.

    Shame you can't get them to me by Tuesday as I'll be at InfoSec 05 (Uk) & could have handed them out there, but i'll gladly spam Vodafone's World HQ :). Count me in!

    You can count me in. I'll be able to hand them out to anyone I help with a PC problem - which is already a bunch of folks at work.

    Yes, I'm interested. I have develpoed a decent customer base here in the southeast and the cards would be taped to the front of every PC that goes back out the door. Matter of fact, they will be taped over the power button, wouldn't want any cheating would we??? :D

    Would it be possible to get smaller increments? I could drop them off at places, leave them with the waiter's checks, etc. Also, my mom is an HR manager at her work, so she talks to almost every customer/partner they have. She could easily give them one, along with her business card, and give 'em a quick 10-second shpiel.

    I haven't asked her yet, but I'm sure she would. And if not, I'd still like some for myself - but maybe not 100. Possibly around 25 or something?

    We just want to avoid sending out tons of little packages everywhere, that's why the high minimum :mullet:

    //edit: But since you are quoting Wonko the Sane in your sig, I may be able to pull some strings ;D

    yes, i'm interested!

    Ill take them to work and hand them out, put them in the breakroom. (I work eith a LOT of IT personel)

    My sister is getting married real soon, so I can probably set some out at the reception or something.

    My girlfriend sells a lot of Avon and candles and stuff like that, so I can put them in her packages.

    This is a really cool idea! :thumbsup:

    Okay, the first batch is away. I need to get more packaging and then I can send batch 2 out.

    Those outside of the US: I apologize for the lame packaging, but I stuffed large envelopes full of cards instead of putting them in boxes. It is much cheaper to send an envelope than a box to Canada, UK, Australia, etc. :D
