Magnetic business cards.

SP Cleaning · Mar 22, 2011

I like the regular business card size, and send to current/past customers with a thank you
letter, in hopes that it ends up on thier refrigerator for future use. biggrin

I use Vista Print

How thick are the ones you get from vista print I want one that will hold 3-4 pages thick if they can not do that then waste of money because the customer will put them in the waste basket.

Back at Mallard we had rubber duckies with our name printed on them. Great for realitors and prop managers. It was amazing how long they stayed ontop of peoples computer monitors.

Try letter slitters with a magnet . They have them shaped like houses. People use them every day to open mail. I've even had some homeowner call and ask for more. They are aslo great for home shows. Try them and see.

Is anyone using magnetic business cards and what shapes are working for you.

I bought 1000 of them 4-5 years ago and just gave out the last ones this year.

Not so sure they did much good, but maybe?

I don't plan to bother getting more.

Chuck did you give them to your customers that you just washed there house or did you just gave them out just like business card.
also the thickness of magnet plays part if wife of the house keeps the magnet business card it should hold about 3-5 peaces of paper if it does not hold that it get throne away.
but if you give the magnet to your costumer after you washed there house or roof then you should send few mailing that will keep you on there refrigator for the year.

I just gave them out to repeat customers and these would not hold more than 1 paper on a fridge.

I probably should get some more.

I'm in a negative mood this week.

Loaded with work, but had 2 hold ups this week, that cost me time.

One I scheduled for a wrong date and got sent away and one I had to seal a polypebble deck on, that I had cleaned and a dripping gutter had a large wet area at 2pm in the afternoon, with perfect hot drying weather.

I hate messed up schedules! furious

Try here Chris http://www.promotionalproducts.net/letter_slitters_catalog.htm They work and people love them. They stay Sharpe for years I also give them to all the business owners at the Chamber of Commerce for networking night. Remember people open mail every day. They have a use, unlike magnetic business cards.

Chris, I'm sorry I haven't called you yet. A death in the family early this week and being busy, has made me not feel like being on the phone. The funeral is Saturday.

It's not that I was personally close the the one who died, it was my daughter in law's mother. It's that her and my son are upset and I have had to "sit" with them some before she died and do other things for them, since. It was unexpected and she was 66. Got sick and died in 6 days!

Maybe I can call you on Monday night.

I guess I better stop drinking coffee and posting and get off to work.
