Business cards for bloggers from Moo
July 26, 2009 by HeatherCowper
When you’re out and about in the real world spreading the word about your blog, you’ll find these cute little Mini cards from Moo are just the ticket. I find myself regularly handing them out on my travels as I talk to people about my blog. It helps to explain why I ask so many questions and take photos of everything that moves.
I wrote before about last box of Moo cards I bought for my Travels but now they’re all gone, so I’ve just received my next box and had such fun choosing new photos to put on them from my more recent travels in Greece, Lebanon, Berlin and the French Alps. I think the mini cards are more unusual myself, but if you prefer something a bit more substantial, you can choose normal sized business cards too. Having a business card adds to your credibility no end and saves you having to scribble long URLs on scraps of paper – sooo unprofessional. Even if I didn’t have a blog, I think they’d be a great thing to have if travelling for any length of time to give the many people you meet along the way, when you want to let them have your e-mail.
The Moo cards are easy to order if you have a Flickr photo-sharing account – you just drag the shots you want across to select them and can choose up to 100 different ones, or all the same as you please. The extra thing I ordered this time was this fab little Mini card Holder for £3.49 – I loved the orange but it comes in other colours and is perfect to keep on your keyring or handbag. The cards themselves cost £11.99 for the mini cards or £12.99 for the business cards.
If you’re planning to order these or any other Moo products yourself, I have a few promo codes I can give you which will give you an extra discount on any Moo products when you place your order. Just leave a comment below and I’ll send them to anyone interested – I have 3 codes for 25% off any Moo product and 2 codes for 15% off any Moo product.
P.S. I’m not earning any commission – just love my Moo mini cards and I think you will too.

Hi Heather,
My friend ordered some Moo cards, and I absolutely loved them! The matte-finish business cards are very professional but also artsy!!!!! If you have some discount or promo coupons, I’d like one for my order. This may be the push I’m waiting for to go in and order my own ‘blogger’ business cards! I love MOO…Seriously!

Hi Heather, I just loved your tip on the Moo cards, and I’m so glad they ship to Brazil! I’ll probably order some minicards for my blog and also some Christmas ones. They are so cute! If you could send me one code it would be great, specially since shipping to Brazil make the cards a lot more expensive for me!

Hi Jen and Renata
I’ve just e-mailed you the discount code to get 25% of any Moo product – hope you enjoy your Moo cards.
Anyone else who’d like a discount code, just let me know with a comment.

Hi Heather! Found your blog through AlmostFearless, and am enjoying it. I’d love to get a discount code for Moo cards… I love them, and need some more.
Thanks in advance.

What a great tip. Thanks so much! I cannot wait to order some for my next adventure.

I still have a couple more for anyone interested.

There’s a real world?
Was actually going to look for more information on making up some business cards so this post came in handy. Not that I do much marketing that way but I might find more of a need for it in the future.

I love Moo. Please send me the discount codes…

Great suggestion. I’ve never thought of developing business cards to promote my blog.
However, I have developed a free guide to social networking and social media for tourism that I’ve offered up on my blog for free – http://bit.ly/2u4Rjf
Great blog you have here, hopefully you will find my guide helpful and can link to it.

Thanks Barry – If you want a 15% discount code I still have one – let me know.
Great report you produced – especially like the detailed advice on the different Social Media sites. I’ll try and incorporate a link somewhere – I’ll be writing about the Istrian Tourist Board & how they’ve been inviting bloggers like myself as part of their social media strategy. Maybe will work it in there.
Best wishes
Heather

These Moo cards look like a great idea – this is the first that I had heard of them. Thanks for the heads up – and a discount code would be wonderful as I am about to get creative with Moo!
Regards

@ Dan
I’ve just sent you a discount code by e-mail.
Sorry folks, but I’ve now given out all my discount codes. However, in my Moo cards I got a few discount codes which I gave away as well as the ones the Marketing folk sent me, so perhaps anyone who orders will get some too and be able to pass on the favour to someone else.
Enjoy your Moo cards. Now the only dilemma I have is which of the 100 different photos on each card will suit the person I’m giving it to.

This is such a great idea! I’m going to make some business cards right now!

@ Mina
It’s a really easy way to give your contact details to people you meet on your forthcoming trip – I’m sure you’ll find that it doesn’t take long before you give out all 100 and then you can order more with your favourite photos.

you can always create great business cards by just using adobe photoshop and some other photoediting tools ..
