MOO + Smugmug = Awesomeness

Just wanted to say I was sifting around and saw that Smugmug partnered with a printing company called Moo. John and I have been printing our own cards for a while because we have a different picture on each card but have not really found a good way to print it affordably and with a good product. Moo lets you do all that directly in connection with your smugmug! I just got my first box of 50 (which were free for some reason!?) and they are amazing. The card stock should be labeled "credit card" with the thickness of the paper and the quality is perfect. I have to go order more now in fact because everyone wants one of my cards! Some are requesting more then one!

Horray for Smugmug!

    Go go go!! I still have your cards and I loved that they were all different. And I don't think you could get sturdier, smoother, better card stock than what MOO offers.

    They are awesome cards.

    I need to try out the minicards as well. Going through my 50 a lot faster than I thought I would! Great conversation starters (and extenders!).

    Yeah... I have minicards set out at an area business that is displaying my images. The owner tells me "Everyone loves your business cards!" I would love it if they would buy prints! :D

    Thanks again Andy and the Smuggy team! THats super cool about the free pack!

    I am going to have to try the minicards next! Got my first job since the accident here in about 2 hours. For the most part I can lift my right arm but its pretty useless still! It's the first opportunity I have had to show off my cards though!

    Minicards are the proverbial cat's behind! People love them. I use them as a marketing tool this way:

    Depending on to whom I'm talking, I offer them an appropriate business card. For example, if I'm talking to someone about doing family portraits, I give them the card with a family portrait on it. If someone is looking for an event shooter, I show them a card with an event shot. etc. etc. Makes it SO much easier - like having a mini customer-specific portfolio - with your contact info on it!

    Been using them for a couple of years and think they're fantastic!
    Creating visual and verbal images that resonate with you.

    Just ordered some. It went pretty smoothly overall.

    My cards arrived today. The quality is great. Some of the photos seem a bit dark but I'm sure that's my fault.

    Hi there-

    Just spotted this thread and we're so happy you like your cards. And thanks for the marketing suggestion and for making us smile here at MOO HQ (re: 'credit card'!!!) I'll pass along to our product team :)

    Mine showed up and look great. I handed them out and have been getting lots of positive comments. I thought the images I sent were going to be too bright, but they turned out good. The color I got wrong, the grey printing I created... rolleyes1.gif
