Increase Art Sales with Moo Photo Cards

Online printing company MOO is not a typical printing company by any means. They’re very specialized and, in fact, the only thing they do produce is cards. Their product line includes business cards, MiniCards, postcards, greeting cards, holiday cards, and the one exception is a small selection of stickers.

The MOO Advantage

Two factors recommend MOO.com over other online printing companies: the first of which is the quality of everything they produce. They use only the best card stock and printing ink as well as top-notch machinery to ensure that the cards they produce will be completely satisfactory.

The second recommending factor is of particular interest to artists, and is a proprietary technology called Printfinity. This is a process that allows the printing company to produce as many images as a customer desires in one print run. So for example if you have 100 images that you’d like to see on your business cards you can do a print run of 100 and have one of each of your images. Now, that’s an extreme and unlikely example but more realistically, you might have 20 pieces that you would like to be able to distribute quality images of, and by printing just 100 cards could have images of each one on hand to give to prospective patrons.

You’ll need to come up with a good quality photograph or print of each piece that you’d like to represent and upload it to the MOO.com website when you place your order. MOO will then print your cards and ship them to you. This provides an affordable way to give out mini versions of your artwork.

MOO is not the cheapest printer around, and you won’t find them offering free business cards, free shipping, or free anything except a free sample pack of 10 custom cards to demonstrate to you just how high the quality really is. By the way, you can also see how Printfinity works by sending in multiple images of your own to be used in the design of your sample cards.

To print a large number of low-cost business cards that you will leave lying in stacks for a passersby to pick up and maybe even be able to leave in locations that display your art, you may need to utilize Vista print business cards which you can order for free online. Vista printing will give you a box of 250 cards for free, but they will have the company’s logo across the back, which indicates to those who are in the know that you got the cards for free. However, you can buy a box of 250 and have access to a larger selection of their premade designs (or you can upload your own design); and for under $10 you just produced your own custom business cards.

How MOOs Business Cards Can Help With After-show Sales

What you want to do with MOO business cards in this particular scenario is to use them as a mini version of each piece of your art that you are trying to sell. You’ll need to take a good quality picture of each piece and take advantage of Printfinity’s ability to make you cards displaying each of your works.

When you’re at a show and someone displays particular interest in a piece but perhaps needs to think it over, check the budget or consult with the spouse you can make a point of handing them a card with an image of that particular piece. This makes the customer feel special and gives them something to take with them that connects them to the piece so that they may be more inclined follow through on purchasing it after the show.

A lot of time and effort goes into attending a show. So you want to take advantage of every opportunity that you have to make that show work for you. MOO business cards provide just such an opportunity.
