Mobile Business Cards


I know it has been discussed here before, as this is where I heard about the card pocket but I can't remember in what thread. Anyway, I dropped 35.00 this week and ordered a set of two for my van. They came last night and so I washed the van and stuck them on.

I really can't see any down side to this, unless some smart alecky plumber decides to use it for an ash tray. In fact just last week a gentleman driving past stopped to write down my phone number, saw me and called me over to ask for a card; if I hadn't been there he would have had to pull someones else's business card from his wallet and scrawl my phone number on the back.

One obvious design flaw is waterproofness, or a lack there-of. In a heavy rain it will leak and there are no weep holes in the bottom so the cards will get soggy. I'm thinking about ordering magnetic (i.e. waterproof) cards to use with it.

And no this is not my product nor am I making any money on this product. However feel free to PM me for my address if you feel gratuitous.

Re: Mobile Business Cards


I have thought about doing that too, my question is will it hold up to highway speeds?

Where did you buy this? I've only seen this once and thought it was genius.

I put a "take one" box on my trailer. It will hold an 8.5x11 flyer and you can measure how many flyers are taken. It's over my left shoulder.

Re: Mobile Business Cards


Kudos to both of you! What an excellent idea. I have seen contractors put magnetic business cards all over the side of the truck with the intention that interested people take one. This is a new take.
