MOO MiniCards
I don’t recall how I came across Moo — It must have been either Nyrath or del.icio.us/popular — but in any case, come across it I did.
Do you like business cards? Meh, boring right? Do you love Flickr and your photos? Sure, we all do. Why doesn’t someone combine the two? Moo did. They’re a wonderful little printing company that currently offers a product called MiniCards.
MiniCards aren’t strictly business cards, they’re much smaller and more creative. They’re more like little calling cards or “hey want a cool little fun snippet of one of my favorite photos?” cards. I plan on using them to promote my photo sales or just to give away to friends that ask for my email/hompage address.
Moo uses Flickr to get your photos. You click a link and it brings you to the Flickr security page that asks whether you trust Moo. Its ok, you can trust Moo. Once thats done you’ll jump back to the MiniCards page where it asks you which photos you want to turn into cards. I got in on the 10 free cards to Flickr Pro members promotion (sorry, they ended the promotion after 10,000 packs) but you normally buy a 100 pack for $20. Once you’ve selected your photos you just crop them a little and tell them what to put on the backs (colors, fonts, name, contact details, whatever you want).
These little cards are as beautiful as they are functional. I can’t wait to show them off! Check out my 10 pack and the little holder they came in on my flickr (also check the Moo pool), and go check out Moo’s MiniCards too. If you don’t have a flickr account, you really should get one anyway, but thats for another post.
