Moo MiniCards

It's tough to start an online business. There are a lot of options and really neat resources available and it can be a bit overwhelming at first. I'm trying to sort through the good, bad, useful and just plain wasteful resources and make sense of them.

I have been hesitant to consider Moo as an option for ordering business cards because I thought they were a bit on the pricey side. But now I did a little researching and found that (because of the quality) their prices are right on.
One of the things I was wondering about is mini moo cards, why are they so popular.. what do people use them for and how can they be used as a promotional tool? I was reading a blog, and got sort of intimidated by these mini moo cards. The blog said they can be a great promotional tool "if used the right way" ... what IS the right way?

So I brought up this topic in the Etsy forums and here is what I learned:

* Mini Moo cards are great because they are unique in shape and size. They're cute, and people generally like them!
* They're not just business cards----They have many many many uses!
* They are high quality

Here are some neat things you can do with Mini Moo cards:

* Business cards - duh! But no, really, you can just hand them out, stick them in the bags or envelopes when something is purchased and have them sitting on your table at shows. Give them to friends to hand out too!
* Tags - use them as price tags, or just little business card tags. Attach them to your products so they can be branded! Use them as gift tags, or punch a hole in them and use them as little decorative tags when you wrap your items for shipping.
* Earring Cards - use them to hold your earrings! How creative! If you don't already have earring cards this is a way to save money!

Anyway, as you can see there are many uses for Mini Moo cards and I think I will be ordering some after I get a few more orders!
