a market for these do you think?

Think I've seen something similar on here or t'interweb before but figured I'd have a go at putting some business cards together for a friend's tree work business. I made it out of some old 5mm ply I had lying around. I burnt the lettering in with a soldering iron. Thought it'd be a nice touch if you're in the industry.

 

Like I say I'm not claiming originality here but be interested to know what you think.

 

Cheers

Like that!, whats the cost for 250 with logo one side, and your comment about quoting on the other side

[WillTimberlake]

That looks trick! Nice one Blake.

[Marc Lewis]

Good idea that, can make some customers obliged to go with you. Hand them out for big jobs and the nicer jobs.

Yeah was pretty sure i'd seen them before. They look machine done so i wouldn't be able to meet the 40p mark. I do mine by hand so probably looking at about £1 each.

 

Quite like the wooden cards as an idea though. I think if you hand one to a customer i think they'll be a little less likely to bin it like a traditional card.

In that case then and in answer to your original query, i'd personally say no there isn't a market for them.

Cheers guys, I think the others are printed onto wood where as these are burnt so take a little longer to do. Be good to find a machine to do it! :-)

If you have a spare few thousand quid you could buy a laser like mine. Each card takes approx. 40 seconds to do and every card looks exactly the same. The software is also expensive and you have to know how to use it properly. Bit of a steep learning curve!
