Ok so I was just PM'ing with wcked and I had an idea. I understand a lot of people on here work with the cellular industry in one way or another. So if there were business cards for the site, how many of you would distribute them to your customers, friends, etc?

I am thinking that at my store we will begin carrying Wckediden business cards that we could give each customer that purchased a PDA or smartphone for two reasons.

First of course is for ourselves, remember that the happier a customer is with their phone the more inclined they are to keep it.

Second is to increase traffic to this site. With more users, it could be a lot more fun, and a lot bigger and better.

What do you guys think? Who else would participate in this?

I guess that would help for the people that are in the cellphone biz and I think it should be a great way to promote the site ....

PS: Biz cards are cheap since they sell them in bulks .... well based on those junk mail we get in our mailboxes hahaha!

there is also a radio shack here that would probably not mind. I actually am friends with the manager and could probably get him to join the site then start giving them out as well.

And ronaldsdv, that was my intention. obviously 500 business cards to somebody in no influential position would be a waste, but in the right hands and to the right customers, could be amazing.


Dash, that's my intention. My coworkers and I are going to spend a couple bucks in order to get some cards, keep a stack next to our business and tep cards, as well as give them out.

Anything to help bro.

I like yours the best so far, but it needs more shazam. Let me see if I can get a decent one made up for you and you can tell me what you think.

can you pm me the font style you used for the pocket pc font on the main page?

Yeah I have send hundreds if not more here to this site but I always have to write it down on one of my own business cards and it would be much more convenient to just have some to hand out to the people I see fit and I really want some shirts as well. I like the card by Big Jew...except I need ON3/\L on it instead, lol... So me and my crew at work will get the ball rolling on this. I can download Vista Print and just make some at work and print them out if needed.

Sorry if the file is too large, this was a rough draft I just came up with. Mine will be something like this but gonna clean it up some it's late and I just using a trial version of this busines card creator to play around with a few ideas... just thought I'd post it. Once I finished it seems to be a lot going on I think i'm gonna do something more basic but here is my 1st rough draft...and once i get it how I want it I will just print some at work and be good to go. Me and my co-workers at Sprint will throw in and put in an order for the ones available and just pay the S&H.

Let me know what you think and any ideas or feedback would be great so I can have an idea of which way to go with this or if any like this etc. I don't mind some constructive criticism so let me know how I did and what you think... thanks!

That's a GREAT idea Austinator!!! I'm down for business cards, let me know if I can get some and when!!!

Hey girl, It's nice to you and the Austinator participating on this site with us now we have the whole OP crew on here, lol. BTW for those who don't know, they both work at my Store with me and I may not be able to manage them at the store, lol, but I managed to get their ass on here! hahaha. . . So does that mean I'm yalls Store Manager and our site manager?? Lol, well I guess I can only advise for now, but I have future plans to become either Mod or Admin for this site when the time is right... THEN I will be BOTH, hahahahaha. See yall tom at work, I will be working on some more of these cards and once I find the winner I'm gonna go have some printed along with new cards for the store for us because ours are kinda lame ya know.
