      Do people keep business cards? Am I the only one that basically chucks them as soon as I get them?

      I keep them. I hope to someday (been saying this for years) to actually create a database of them and use them to my advantage. Hmmmmm.... I need an office slave, umminion, sigh... intern dressed like a minion. 🙂

      FTFY.

      OOOOO I like that one, entertainment and productivity

        I think we might be able to make this happen. You got my vote!

          Do not give me an odd sized business card. It will go in the bin as soon as I see a recycle can.

          Standard sized that stands out in some way is what you want for something like that.

            Ok being that the cards in question are from a marketing firm (these will be cards for ML/GS) do you expect to see a weird card or does the don't give me a weird shaped card thing still apply?

              Don't give me a weird shaped card. I'm still going to bin it but at least it will make it home/to the office.

                This. It will make it home and depending on my expected relationship and need to know about you, it will be trashed or put in the drawer.

                    The current cards are pretty good for GS. Why change them?

                        🙂 well of course there will be purple.

                        Ok that answers my questions: I am marketing to mostly IT people (these will be given out at multiple Conferences I will be at over the next month or so).

                          Sometimes I need GS only, Sometimes I need ML sometimes I need both in one (better than handing people 2 separate cards).

                            IT people don't want non-standard. Marketing people, maybe.

                              Double sided card, purple on one side, peach on the other.

                                Well yes and no. The GS side will be the same as the main side of mine now. Not sure what the background color will be for the front (but it might just be white) for the new logo....

                                  Make the back look like a credit card with actual working numbers.

                                  I bet people will take notice then!

                                      My friend worked at an IT company that changed their business card like this - he instantly made a joke, See, we'll cut three out of four corners to get the job done - yeah.. they weren't to pleased.
