Yes, we’ve all survived the big meltdown, but will your business card?
Remember the last networking event you attended? When you handed your business card out, did you get that sinking feeling it would just end up as a toothpick?
Or how about the first visit to a client you wanted to impress. Did you arrive to meet them groomed to perfection, oozing with confidence only to feel slightly sheepish about handing over a less than impressive card?
Maybe your business card already rocks around the clock, but you’d like to have a few extra special ones for really special events.
I might just have the answer for you. Metal business cards. I’m testing the waters to see if it would be worthwhile offering metal business cards for sale.
If you’d like me to make you some FREE sample cards (pack of 10), all you need to do is leave a comment below. I have 10 sample packs to offer. You will get 5 gold cards and 5 silver ones. They are regular business card size, with diamond cut edges (so you won’t cut yourself!), and they are lovely, shiny and impressive.
You will need to provide me with a scan of your current business card so I can make up the samples for you (I’m not designing cards for free too!).
If there are more than 10 comments I will do a random selection. If there are less than 10, well that will just beat the can of shite.
Happy end of world survival day

Ooh, yes please!
Now that you mention it – I feel fine
Stick me down for some – yes please!
Hi there, it looks like a great idea. I’d like to get some…
Seriously? Metal? Too cool! Would love to check it out!
i’d love them, but my sister would love them more. she’s a metalworker, you see, just graduated college as a designer. she’s on her jollybops though and i don’t have her current card to hand – could i send it on next week?
These sound super swish! Count me in!
No prob Rosie
Catherine, David, Merrill, Deborah & Tom – will email tonight the address to send your card scan
Come on, AJ, surely you’d be good enough to design a snazzy card for yours truly, wouldn’t you? Maybe not for free, but still.
Trouble I see here is that those metal jobs being so gorgeous I’d be loath to part with them. Maybe I could just flash them under noses instead.

I have no need for business cards but good job man, everyone loves free stuff
Send me an email Ursula with some ideas of what you need and I’ll do my best to sort something out for you. As a regular commenter I can’t say no !
Hey Ben, keep an eye out – I’ll be giving away some nice Top Gear tickets in the not too distant future
+1 for me please!
I’ll put my name down if there’s any left! I’ll mail you a sample card…
Cheers!
Eileen
I think the thing is that in places where such cards are de rigeur (I worked in Japan for a while) that there is a practice around the receiving and storing of such cards until they are needed. So people have nifty little pouches/wallets and indeed metal boxes with micro hinges so preventing them from becoming toothpicks. Hence metallising the cards isn’t necessary. Plus, you just know some folks will use them for breaking and entering and shop you to the cops as an accessory and not the type you want to be either.
@Eileen, yep – send it on.
@Brian – I will email you this evening
@Dan
I can handle the fuzz, no problem 
You want some – I think you’ll be impressed with ‘em and so will the people you give them out to!
Tell you what I’ll send you a scan of a few cards I’ve had and some others I’ve come across, I’ve got quite the collection.
Top Gear you say?
Id be willing to lower the bar suffice to say i would possibly sleep with someone, of your chosing for those!
Will keep my eyes as peeled as a Tayto Potato!
