Business Cards?

[Zodiac247]

I am really excited, after reading numerous threads, to get my PV this Monday/Tuesday. One of the threads that struck me the most was the embarassment to vape in public.

Kind of had me wondering. Does this site have, or can they produce business cards? Something to help donate to the site (or a cause) by purchasing a bulk of 50 or maybe 100 cards with phrases like. "Curious About E-Cigs?" or "E-Cig Forum" with the website info and something else catchy? Kind of just something to hand smokers at a bar who are interested in your PV and are bombarding you with questions. Some say they can't stand it, and it'd be a good alternative to shorten it up, and ALSO educated anyone who causes problems in a public place. A bar tender giving you grief? A grocery store manager threatening to throw you out? You could always hand them a card that advertises this site, and at the same time, educating the public, AND donating to the site.

If this is already around, can I get some?

Well, the company I order from (vapor4life) sends me business cards with every order. They have a brief description of what vaping is on the back and their contact info on the front.

As far as one for ECF, I would run it by the moderators before taking action. That being said, I used to work at Kinko's (FedEx Office) and from what I remember, you can design your own business cards for pretty cheap (20-$25) for 500 or so If you don't mind waiting a week or so to get them.

cards for here could be a good idea. i was at a bbq last night with my Chuck and had a lot of questions about it from the smokers there (majority of the people). there were two other people there with e-cigs (Volcano Magmas) as well. having a card to give someone would definitely work better than hoping they remember to check here after telling them when they're drunk.

i keep cards i get from vendors in my "kit" just in case i have any problems with cops over this.

I guess not enough people are interested in the idea

Living in los Angeles and being ion public all day I would loce cards. I do remember some year old+ threads where people were making them but the finished cards were either never posted or the image links were lost to time.

There was a contest a while back to choose a business card design. It's very nice. They've been working on it since. I think they actually have cards now since some were given away in a recent contest. My guess is now they're figuring out how best to let us buy/download them. I'd prefer to just buy some as ones printed on home pc's usually look cheap, but I'll do whatever it takes. I could have given out a bunch this weekend. Instead, I just wrote out this site's address on one of my cards if people were interested.

I wouldn't mind cheap stock card business cards to pass out. I think that'd be sufficient. Wouldn't have to be fancy. Just an idea to help the website moderator pay for the site. If I had people donating to me, or had some extra cash lying around, I'd do free giveaways every once and a while for people supporting me

If ECF makes the winning design available for download and printing, I'd run a bunch through my inkjet using glossy photo paper as card stock. My Epson 810 makes great photo prints on glossy, and they'd rival those from vendors like AltSmoke.

The new business cards have been printed and will be made available to the members very soon. The cards will be available for free, with the cost of shipping the responsibility of the receiving member.

Thanks malyden for posting that link.

Be patient and I'll have all this posted very soon.

I totally agree. One e-cig company (I am not sure I want to endorse them yet) has a great card with a list of questions and answers for people who are curious.
I, for one, would like to see something like that on the back with ECF info and our own personal info - whatever anyone is comfortable with giving out - on the front. This could aid in forming local groups, act as a reference material for newcomers and help bring us into the mainstream.

Or VistaPrint has some great deals on cards.

The cards are already printed and in my hands. Vistaprints quality wasn't as good as I expected. It wasn't terrible but the printer we are using is an ECF member and has passed along an awesome deal to our membership. The quality is awesome!

I will def be getting some of these!!!!!!

[Cinjay]

Joker, do you know when they will be available? And where are we to look when they are ready to buy?

 

[boston joe]

[TWolf]

Going to keep Joker busy for quite awhile keeping up with card orders. Count me in for some too!

 

[mustymom]

I think it's a great idea
