Handouts advice?

[leftfeild]

What do you guys use for handouts to explain what your e-cig is, if you do at all? I've been looking around for business card type things to give out to people that explains a little about what I'm "smoking" so I can get away faster or just so they have something solid to read and hang onto instead of my e-cig. I haven't found anything viable yet for the UK anyway.

I don't carry a wallet or bag with me, so my idea of printing out label size info sheets to paper isn't a great idea afterall because the paper just isn't strong enough to last in my pocket.

So, do business card type things exist with this kind of info on it, or are there some premade skins to use to order in your own or something? Is there something I'm overlooking and could be using instead?

Any advice would be appreciated!

You can get free ECF business cards here: LINK

Also, if you ever order from V4L they throw in a bunch of cards. On the back it explains everything simply, including what the second hand vape consists of. You can also ask for more cards when you order.

Hope this helps

You can get business cards printed for this website -- it helps when you don't have time to explain...just hand them a card that directs them here to ECF where they can read info at their leisure.

Thank you for the fast reply. Do you know what the ECF card actually says? I can't make it out at all. What would be on the list on the back I mean. The enlarged version only shows the front.

V4l is an American site? Haven't heard of it before. Shipping is heftier for international if it is. Erk.

Vapor4Life. Yeah American.

You could buy unprinted sheets of business cards at an office supplies store and print whatever you want on them on both sides. There should be a way with word or excel to do that. Or a desktop publishing program can do it. I recommend practicing on plain paper first.

You could Liberty-Flights.co.uk of they have anything? Probably just plain business cards though.

If you made ones it would not have to say a lot. E-cigarettes work great if you choose wisely. Avoid rip-offs and weak models. Visit E-Cigarette-forum.com for honest info and support.

Nice and to the point card. Thank you. And thanks Dormouse as well, it might work out to be more economical for me to do it that way. Living in the sticks is a pain for getting these things but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a carrier online.

Hi Leftfield

Quite a few UK suppliers I buy from send either business cards or small hand outs with the goods I order from them.

I've been unlucky in that regard. No supplier's business card I've gotten with orders have been anywhere near useful as a handout. Just a website or business address with some pictures which doesn't explain anything at all. If I can get my hands on blank business cards I'll more than likely design my own so I can tailor it to my antisocial needs. Here's the explain all card, catch ya later because I'm on my way to work kinda thing.

Thanks for the info. It's a good base to work off to condense something similar to card form.

If all else fails I'll order in some ECF cards and it's job done. I don't get approached about it often so it seems less viable to ship cards internationally for the rare occasion someone asks me. It's an option though, I mean a one time shipping fee for a heap of free cards that would likely last me years sounds reasonable.

TBH it's something I've been meaning to do myself for ages on my own UK forum - ie get some hand outs/cards designed. And now we have a fantastic graphic artist on board, I really must pull my finger out

I hand out the ECF cards. I also print and hand out this brochure: http://www.casaa.org/files/CASAA-Ecig-TriFold-Brochure.pdf.

For the folks who ask, I have a stack of Liberty Flights cards to which I've affixed return addess labels which say,

An outstanding discussion forum:
www.e-cigarette-forum.com​

The return address label sheets have 80 labels on them.

There are lots of good vendors out there, but Liberty Flight is as fine as any place to start, and they did send me a whole stack of their cards.

Same here...

I had them the CASAA brochure...

And then I hand them an ECF business card.


EDIT: I wish they would update the brochure and put the link below on there...
