![]() I was pretty disappointed by Moo’s inability to execute this design. I find a border can make simple, clean business cards look more finished. The cropping was sub-par to say the least. When I received them I was super sad face. Overall, I’m very pleased with the final product, but there were some moments of peril getting there.įor one, the initial design had a thick white border at the edge of the card. They’re a newer designer-y company out to “set a new standard for print.” It was my first time working with them, so I thought I’d share my experience here. I’d give these cards my highest recommendation.My new business cards have arrived! It was like opening a box full of joy - SO MUCH COLOR! There are other products available that I haven’t tried, but I’m willing to use them on faith after experiencing the business cards. That’s not something I’ve seen offered from other printers. That gives you the chance to see how your work looks on the cards before you commit. They’ll ship you a free sampler pack of ten cards with your own images. You don’t have to take my word about the quality, though. If you want rush shipping, they’ll accommodate you for an additional cost. You can have them printed and shipped in a week. The best part is that it’s quick and inexpensive. It gives the recipient an example of my work, contact information, and I hope a sense of confidence that I never received from the flimsy cards passed out by other photographers. This is the kind of product I want to hand out when I make a first impression with someone. Each of them appears in standard format and I think they look great. ![]() There was no issue with cropping my images to fit the cards. I was able to upload the header on my web site for a logo and input text with my web site, e-mail address and Google Voice number. The opposite side with your text can be another image, a text layout you input on a web-form, or a combination of both. You can upload photos or pull them in from sites like Flickr, Facebook, SmugMug or Etsy. MOO cards come double-sided on much sturdier stock than any other cards I’ve seen. They started doing those a little while back, and it was the first company that came to mind when I decided to create my own. At the time, MOO didn’t have regular business cards. I liked it right away because it was printed on very sturdy cardstock and you could tell this thing was meant to last longer than the other cards I’ve seen. It wasn’t a business card, but one of their mini cards. That’s not the kind of impression I want to hand out to someone. Seriously, they’re just flimsy, tacky and cheap. Quite a few of those cards ended up on my desk and they all have something in common. I’ve noticed other photographers pass out cards as a way to stay in touch, let others check out their web-site, or perhaps collaborate on a project in the future. If I introduce myself as a photographer and have some business cars with samples of my work and contact information, then the conversation seems to have a little bit more credibility. If I walk up and say I’d like to take your picture, I’m just another creep they want to avoid. For example, I may run into someone who isn’t actually a model, but could make a good photo. It just makes it easier for people to deal with you, and in some cases, take you a little more seriously. ![]() I finally decided to order some business cards, despite not being in business.
