MiniCards from MOO Make for Perfect Promotional Games

Online printing company, MOO, (at MOO.com) specializes in cards, and one of their more unique products is their MiniCards. These are half-sized business cards, printed on both sides. Typically they are used with a photograph on the back and basic contact info on the front. The small size limits the amount of business information that can reasonably be printed on the face of the card, but the quality, novelty and functionality of the unusual little cards more than compensates for it.

Moo’s MiniCards are made even more unique and useful by Moo’s Printfinity process. Your order can include as many different images as you wish, even going so far as to allow you to print a different picture on each card in the run, if you have that many that you would like to use. Why just print business cards when you can make something that customers will want to keep and may come in to your storefront just to get one from you.

Collectible trading card games have been popular for years now, and new ones come out all the time, so most people are at least familiar with the concept, if not active collectors of one kind of card or another. You can use this idea of trying to get a set of cards to win a prize as a way to get people coming in by giving them a card for each visit, which they will then keep on hand. The cards thus become in-home advertisements for your business on an ongoing basis.

Consider taking an image of your logo, storefront, or signature product, dividing it into smaller rectangular images (like a jigsaw puzzle without the knobs) and making a set of cards that customers can collect and reassemble to complete the image. You can offer a prize or at least a discount for completing the set.

For example, if you have a pizza restaurant, you could divide up an image of a pizza and give out one card with each purchased pie. Then when the customer has purchased enough pies to complete the picture, they get a free pizza. If you aren’t in a position to offer a free item, you could offer a discount, or free accompaniments.

You could also have a contest with very few of a certain type of card to be made available, like the car giveaway where everyone gets a key but only one will start the car. Printing an online coupon code on cards would also encourage people who visit your storefront to check out your website. You may more than double you business if you can capture the online market as well as the physical shoppers. With winter coming, online shopping is likely to increase anywhere the cold and wet weather makes getting around town difficult.

If your business involves selling gift items, art, or virtually anything of visual interest, then printing up a variety of images of your goods on MiniCards will put something in the hands of your customers that they will want to keep and can serve as a reminder that may just be the little added encouragement that they needed to actually come back in and make the purchase.

MOO.com also produces full size business cards with Printfinity, so you don’t even have to go with the smaller MiniCards to take advantage of any of these ideas. MOO features top quality paper stock and printing processes to ensure that all your card needs, from printing business cards to custom greeting cards are filled to your complete satisfaction.
