Business Card Swap **Read and Respond**

[janetupnorth]

I didn't get mine, but hopefully soon....

 

[jenwallace]

Got mine today too! Can't wait to read and use them. Thanks everyone and especially thank you, Kelly!

I got mine today & put them in the business card case I found at Big Lots.
Thanks Kelly! Having done card swaps before I can imagine the work it took!
I'm planning on taking them to our show on Saturday!!!

Thanks Kelly, I got mine today.

 

[jlevernier]

I received mine today. Thanks a bunch!

It's interesting to see at a quick glance that there is a huge commonality of money and family between those who responded.

For some reason I thought it was interesting that about 1/3 of the cards (eyeballed, not counted) didn't put their address on their cards. What has the response been to this when handing them out? Any questions about where you live in proximity to the people getting your cards?

For me that is a combination of a safety/mental thing...

1. Even though they can probably go to the phonebook, it makes people make an effort if they want to track down my house/kids. They don't need to come see my house to be a PC customer.

2. I don't want people 45 minutes away think I'm "too far" to service them when I may actually work 1-2 miles away. Takes out those preconceived notions when they see an address. I've never had anyone yet ask where I live.

3. They can contact me through my website!

 

[janetupnorth]

BTW, got my cards today!

 

[pckelly]

I got mine today too!! They are awesome!!

 

[cookemomstir]

Got mine today also. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Kelly, well worth the wait.
I also noticed the commonality in the reasons, and gotta love vista print

I can't wait to show these off at a party for my mom's group on Saturday, but was also wondering how others were going to use theirs.

YIPPPPEEEE

I got mine today. I haven't even opened them yet because I wanted to get on here to say

THANK YOU!!

 

[chef_kimmo]

BTW - on the no address on the business card.

I don't put it on mine for similiar reasons as Janet's... my main reason is Houston is a huge place and I don't want people to make judgements that I live to far from them to do a show.

 

[missydivine]

I need to check my mail!

 

[amerrigan]

Got mine too!!! I am excited to sit down and read through them. Just glancing through them, it is really cool just to see how many different kinds of business cards there are!!! I was also wondering what people might be doing with these?? Are you just going to have them for possible recruits to look at, or have it in a book that everyone has access to???

 

[chefkristin]

I got mine today!! I even got one of my own back! LOL!!!

THANKS KELLY!!!!

 

[tx_deputyswife]

I got mine today (well, yesterday now). Thank you so much! I sat and read through them with my dh and oldest dd. We, too, commented on the common factors so many of us share.

I'm on of the ones without an address listed. I couldn't think of a single reason someone who wasn't already a customer or host would need my address. As we already know, it's hard enough to get them to call us, so the chance of sommeone coming by the house to set up a show or order....well, highly unlikely!

 

[Addie4TLC]

This sounds NEAT, it ever it's done again I want to be included. Does seem like a lot of work though!! Only someone with a heart of GOLD would volunteer to coordinate such a HUGE TASK!!!

 

[KellyTheChef]

I don't have my address on them for the reason: I have more important things that I want on there!

My newest cards (just got them the other day from VistaPrint) look like this:

There just isn't a reason to put my address on there. If they REALLY wanted my addy, they could look it up using my phone number or give me a call!

 

[chefkristin]

Kelly very cute!!!! I just ordered these:

 

[lacychef]

Thanks Kelly~got mine yesterday! I had to open them up right away & look through them.
Man, I noticed several from Vista; some cute ones! I think I may have to check them out....
Now, wasn't there a thread about some protective sheets to put them in?...

Kelly, that's a really cute card!

I also like the reason that there are more important things to put on a card than the address. I'm used to having an address on my card from my other business, so have always just had one. Never dawned on me not to.

[iamtamnur]

Got mine yesterday too! Thanks! I have mine in two business card albums. Plan to pass them around at shows.

 

[cmdtrgd]

I got mine today - THANKS!!

 

[LOVEpamperedchef]

Kelly thank you so much for all the work that you put into this. I got my cards today and read some of them before heading into work tonight. Cann't wait to get home and read the rest.

 

[MomToEli]

Got my cards - thank you to everyone who went to the effort to participate in this. I can't wait to use them at my show Tuesday night!

 

[missydivine]

Got mine too! Thanks!

 

[Cindycooks]

Got mine too - thanks! I used them at last nights show. This was at a friends house with friends and family who have been to my show many times so I did not expect any recruits out of this and did not have the clear pages yet. I just tossed them all in a SA small square on the coffee table and those that wanted to read them got a kick out of them....they loved seeing all the cards from different places. This is great!

 

[genburk]

I got mine yesterday... My 3 year old wanted to see them, so I let her look through them. I walked out of the room for a few and when I came back in and found that she was interested in something else, so I picked them up and put them back in the envelope.

About 3 hours later, I went to my desk to get on here, of course, and found one of my business cards on the desk. I went to put it away and realized that something was stuck to it. It was sticker on the back and It was a card from the envelope that looked just like mine. She must have thought that one of mine got mixed in and put it on the desk for me. I thought it was cute !

Anyway, I did enjoy reading them, will show them around, and also will check out all the designs and websites listed for new ideas !!

Thanks for sharing the extra cards Kelly, That is how I got mine and I appreciate it ~!!!

 

[genburk]

I forgot to add.. What if I hadn't realized it and gave it out to a recruit lead and they signed under that person. Great for her, but I would have missed out:cry:

BTW, it was overseas so I guess the lead would have noticed, but what if they just went to her website and signed without talking to anyone
