Ha, Sukie, I do the same thing!!! I like to use my own little moo cards with just my personal domain name and contact info. That way if I loose my book, people can see the card and get it back to me. :-)

I'm a photographer and since I use moo.com to design business cards, each card can have a different back. I use my own photos as the back for each photo and they have become great conversation pieces. I hand the person a bunch of cards and ask them to keep the one they like the most. People think they're fantastic and that they're the best cards they've seen. I've had people who are watching this happen and come over and ask to look at them. It's like having a mini portfolio on hand at all times.

But I must say many people don't need business cards. I was once given a business card by a poet. I wondered why on earth a poet would need a business card. Still haven't figured that out.

Hi Danielle,

I respect your decision not to have business cards. It may not be for everyone.

I actually design business cards. They are beautiful and classy! If you had one of mine, you'd want to hand them out. Not sure why but a lot of newsletters that land in my box seem to pooh pooh design of any kind - no biz cards, no logos, etc. Then they promote their own businesses. It doesn't feel very abundant to me.

What appears on a card runs the gamut. Yours would be very kewl!

Thx, Giulietta the Muse

I haven't had business cards as a long time as a business owner, but I am uber excited about the ones that are being made for me right now. One of the biggest reasons is that the creative group that I've joined, is not only known for their out-of-the-box ideas, but their business cards. One of the first tweets I got in response to posting that I was officially joining the Francomedia group, was 'Do you get a cool fish business card?' - they've done a great job creating some very memorable business cards that tie into their brand, and make them memorable. You can read my review on some of the best cards I've found: http://officeassistants.ca/branding-through-bus...

my conclusion is this: 1/2 the world needs biz cards. 1/2 the world doesn't. But 1/2 of the 1/2 of the world that don't need biz cards don't know that they don't need biz cards. That means we need to convert a 1/4 of the world of card-carrying people. Dig?

You know what's an even worse idea than business cards? Business cards made out of beef jerky. Yup. It's real. Meat Cards uses laser etching to print your business info on their edible card. However, one can argue that these would make you more memorable in a smelly, meaty sort of way. Check it out: http://www.meatcards.com
