It’s US Small Business Week. Here’s to you!
May 2011, by Rebeka | 3 Comments – latest by MonicaIf you hadn’t already guessed from the title (clever, aren’t we?), it’s National Small Business Week in the US. Many of our customers are freelancers or small businesses, and this week it’s all about you. We’ve met loads of cool and interesting small businesses over the past five years; businesses that made us think “Wow! Why hadn’t I thought of that?” Like Santa Barbara Silver Safari who rent vintage airstream trailers in California or Touchcloud who offers a green alternative to server hosting. How cool!
So what is National Small Business Week?
Small Business Week recognizes the contributions of small businesses in America. This year more …Continue reading this article…

The Key(ring) to the Cottage
April 2011, by Charlotte | 6 Comments – latest by Sarah BromfieldWell, that was a deliciously hot weekend in the UK, wasn’t it? For once it almost makes you feel smug you didn’t decide to leave the country over the Easter weekend!
And if you’re not going abroad, all you really need is a lovely country cottage to relax in with friends or family. This is why our ears pricked up when we recently came across Sarah, owner of Devon based Sherborne Cottages, via our Facebook page. Sarah makes these adorable and effective MiniCard holder keyrings for her clients to get across a variety of messages, offers and useful information.
“I love using my MiniCards in lots of different ways” Sarah explains “Some …Continue reading this article…

Postcards from the edge
March 2011, by Charlotte | 6 Comments – latest by Architectural visualisationsWell, we knew it wouldn’t take you long to grab our new double-sided Postcards and put your personal stamp all over it – and we weren’t disappointed. Over the last few months, we’ve been watching Flickr with a hawk-eye for anything extraordinary, and as you can see, we were spoilt for choice.
Stylish photographer Kylie Clarke Photography has taken full advantage of being able to upload pdfs to both sides of the Postcard, by branding both sides of her promo Postcards with her arresting images, plus contact details.

MOO welcomes Logoworks to the team!
February 2011, by Tara | 7 Comments – latest by Goga @ EndGoalMarketing”To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master.”
So said Milton Glaser, designer of the I Heart NY logo that spawned a thousand T shirts – and as a creator of a world famous city symbol, he should know! The power of the logo, particularly in business is almost unquantifiable – it’s the one thing that every business needs to represent their brand in one simple, visually arresting design.
Which is why MOO is delighted to welcome our new partner Logoworks! They’re a fantastic logo design company who can help all you MOOsters with great ideas get a powerful logo for your business at a price to suit a whole range …Continue reading this article…

Spreading the MOO love
February 2011, by Snow | 1 Comment – latest by ChloeWhether you’re cozying up by the fire during the recent blizzards, or embracing the cold weather by ice-skating or skiing with a sweetheart, Valentine’s Day is approaching. We know love is in the air. In fact, we’ve even received some love and thankfulness from many of you! We’ve been grateful to have several happy customers give us a taste of their products (literally) after helping them out with their MOO orders.
What could be better than receiving a box of baklava in the mail while we’re hard at work answering your customer service questions? We’re not sure, because the baklava we received from Glad Annie’s Old World Baklava, …Continue reading this article…

2011 – Let’s start a resolution
January 2011, by Andrea | 16 Comments – latest by heather maddoxNew Year resolutions are one of those December traditions we never really give much thought, like mulled wine, roasted chestnuts and ugly Christmas jumpers, it just feels right. And they’re great because, in theory, you can decide to change anything, from the minuscule to the massive to the totally practical – the ancient Babylonians often resolved to return their neighbours’ farming equipment!
But if your resolution is something a bit bigger than going to the gym – like starting your own business – then sticking to it has significantly higher stakes! Surveys have shown that 3 out of 4 people break within the first few months.
So how do you give yourself the best shot at achieving your goal and building a …Continue reading this article…

Stuck on MOO
November 2010, by Andrea | Add a commentWell it’s been a month since we launched MOO StickerBooks in the US, and the Flickr sticker fans lurking not-so-furtively among you have been busy! We knew America had talent, but we’re beyond impressed with your cool ideas. It’s always a bit nerve wracking launching into a new market but if your love for stickers on Flickr is anything to go by, we won’t get unstuck any time soon!
This gorgeous StickerBook is by Japan-based photographer Yoshiko, who kept it simple, putting her delicately sketched wildlife photography onto our StickerBooks, then packaging them up beautifully and distributing them sheet per sheet. Brilliant!

October 2010, by Rebeka | 16 Comments – latest by AkemiIt’s been a whirlwind few months here at The Business Card Project.

We just finished our last few redesigns, so be sure to check out our business card inspiration gallery. Now there’s really no excuse to have boring business cards!
