What's the difference in a Moo card and a business card?

[Lisa_Marie]

I've heard of Moo cards. But aren't they just business cards? And push cards. Are they just for promoting?

I carry professional business cards to hand out when I'm looking for business. I also have cards with just my name, phone and website with a line that says "Pictures may be viewed and purchased at www....." to let them know they can look at the pic they just caught me taking.

What do you use?

Moo do both regular business cards and also the funky 'mini cards'.

I use their mini-cards, between the satin finish and the odd-ball factor of their size, they're exceptionally popular.

I can upload 100 of my own images and fully customise them. they're not the cheapest, but the versatility during design, customer service and their quality & presentation means I wont use anyone else, ever.

Though I havent used their regular card sizes, I imagine that everything regarding creation, service and final product is identical to their mini-cards.

I love the versitility of Moo cards. They are thicker and sleeker than regular business cards, and it's like I can carry around a mini portfolio in my pocket. My business cards have gotten me several clients... so I'll continue to use them You can order a sample pack from Moo somehow... you can customize them and everything, they just stick their logo on them.

I would not reccomend Moo cards, they get lost in wallets. I think Moo is just the name of the brand, they do normal sized cards as well but I think Moo Cards often refer to the "half width" business cards that were popular a while ago. The #1 reason people loved them is because you could buy a pack of 50, and use 50 different photos, one different one for the back of each card, or take 3 different photos and they would send you an evenly divided pack using the different photo backs, the fronts with the text etc would all be the same. It's GREAT for photographers. I used them for the mini cards, those didn't wind up very practical so I wound up ordering normal sized cards from them.

This is so odd. I was just thinking about business cards today.


What are people using for their business cards? Just the regular card with logo and name etc... or are you doing something special?

Anyone?

Unless, of course, you get the handsome carrying case.

I carry a business card with one of my photos on it with my name, contact info and website.
I also carry a generic card - one that I actually made for an event I was shooting - that has my company name - a statement that all pics taken at this event will be made available on my website for purchase - and my website address. And I actually made both on my computer....that way if I want to change the pic on my business card then I can and if I want to personalize my promo card then I can.

Moo cards are the Sh*t.

They allow you to use different images on all of the cards, which really drew me to them. I like having the versatility. When people ask for my card, I tell them to choose their favorite. I always get an amazing response.They are able to see my work before even checking out the website.

They offer free sample packs. I got some of these, and I took off their logo on the bottom. I did this to see if it was worth buying the business cards. It was definitely worth it.

Their mini cards are fun, and people always compliment them.
I found out that somebody was collecting my mini cards, because they thought that they were so cool!

They also have great colors. I have never had an issue with the colors being off. They also use 16 pt paper stock, and so it is very thick. They feel great in your hand.

I swear, I don't work for them I am just one very happy customer!

I know I already left my feedback on this thread, but I wanted to second what you said! I've never used the Moo Mini Cards because I can't fit enough information on them... but the colors are brilliant, they are thick and so smooth. I'll mail you a couple if you really want
