lscottpht · **Moo Cards -** 08-30-2008, 03:09 PM

I just got my Moo cards and Moo mini cards and just wanted to say, I LOVE them! I went with the "green" ones which are good for the environment. I ordered on a Wednesday or something, the order was shipped on Thurs. It came from the UK and took about 6 days to get to me. I have 50 different pictures I'm using for each card (1 image on each card with a total of 200 cards, I think, plus the mini cards), and the images look great on them. Anyway, I highly suggest them to people looking for some neat business cards.

So Leslie, how close is the color match for the pictures on the cards vs. the images on your screen? And how textured is the green paper they use - I like business cards to be mostly smooth.

Hey, the images, color wise, are almost identical. I was very impressed. I wasn't sure I liked the matt card at first, but it grows on you. It was tough deciding to be good to the environment or getting something I liked (the glossy ones), but I went with the environment. I can show them to you at some point, before you order, if you want. And, I got the mini Moo card case which goes on your key chain. So, even if I don't have my reg. cards, I will always have those on me.

Yeah, they're really cool... I used them last year for an event. It went over quite well.

Are you going out to Don's tomorrow? I might make it out there. If you do go I'd love to see your cards then.

What are Moo Cards and what do you use them for?

They're pretty cool. One of the photographers I met at a college game used Moo mini-cards.

I use them as my business cards, the mini's. I LOVE THEM. I've recieved tons of compliments on them.

lscottpht · 08-31-2008, 01:27 AM

I have both the mini and the regular cards. So, I will give out the reg. cards, if I have them on me, but the others I keep on my key chain so I always have them handy. The mini ones are really cute.

John, I'm thinking about heading out there. Depends on what time I get up (yeah, I get to sleep in), how I'm feeling (a little sick), how much I get edited from my shoot today, and what time I'm supposed to meet a friend to shoot tomorrow night. I also need to figure out if I'm going to shoot a BAD storm that I'm dying to go shoot. So, in other words, I am not quite sure yet, but I will try.

I use the mini's as business cards as well, I love them! The key chain holder is a very handy thing.

Yes, it is. I gave away my first one, yesterday, to a friend, and I almost didn't want to part with it cuz he wasn't a potential client...lol!

Does anyone think the mini cards might get lost more easily? I want to make sure that my $ is well spent :) I love the look of them though!

I don't want to upload my photos to Flicker. Is there any other way ?

You can order directly from Moo

I think they are neat, and glad to hear good things about them.

My last job as a newspaper editor, I got biz cards all the time. Usually I'd use my handy biz-card hole punch to put them in my Rolodex. Got only one mini Moo card the entire 4.5 years I was there and promptly lost it. For those who don't have to file a bunch of biz cards, though, I think the novelty of its smaller size is a benefit.

This is a photo forum ... somebody upload some pics of their mini cards!
