Based on all the #SXSW tweets on Twitter, a fair few of you are heading to Austin this weekend for SXSWi. A few of the MOO Crew (Richard, Stef and I) are also going and we thought it would be cool to meet & exchange cards. However, we thought it could prove difficult given we don’t know what we all look like. So, we came up with what hopefully will be a fun way to meet.
Starting Saturday morning we’ll kick off The Great Austin MOO Crew Hunt. Here’s the idea and some basic rules:
1. First, we’ll post a short trivia-type question via Twitter (you’ll need to follow us @overheardatmoo)
2. In the tweet, we’ll …Continue reading this article…

A roof terrace…
Rock band:
A lot of good people workin’ hard:
And a lot of fun:

If you’re going to SXSW Interactive and are only just thinking about ordering your MiniCards or Business Cards to hand out at the event, then HEY! You need to get a move on!
But as luck would have it, a couple of the MOO Crew are going too – and they’ve offered to carry orders for SXSWi personally, so you can pick them up at the event.
Sound like a plan?
If you’d like to pick up your cards at SXSW Interactive, here’s what you need to do:
Place your order BEFORE March 6th using the following promocode: sxswi
This will not give you a discount but it will ensure your cards are taken to SXSWi.
At the event, you’ll be able …Continue reading this article…
As usual we always find it difficult to keep a secret. So you may already have heard that MOO is going to open an office in the US later this year.
“Why?” you ask. Well, ever since MOO launched in September 2006, we’ve had orders from customers around the world. After a little investigation, we’ve found that over 50% of you are in the USA. By opening an office there too, we’ll be able to ship your orders so much faster! (We think that deserves a *Yay!*, even if we do say so ourselves.)
“When?” you want to know. Well, we haven’t opened our doors just yet as we still looking for some great people to join the MOO Crew …Continue reading this article…
As we’re always showing you beautiful packs of Business Cards made with artwork or photography, we thought for once we’d show you something different. It’s not always appropriate or possible to use images on your cards; maybe you’re a writer, marketer or software developer, or perhaps you’re promoting an application – so what do you do then?
To start, we’ve seen some really nice designs made with Text-o-matic MiniCards, like these for example, by Kiwi Pinch Designs:
And if it’s words you’re after, we’ve spotted some lovely Wordle cards out there – used for everything from Weddings, to Business cards. Wordle makes beautiful tag clouds from your own text, and allows you to …Continue reading this article…
From time to time, we at MOO like to down tools, tear ourselves away from our laptops and get out into the big wide world to meet you all in person.
We find the best way to do this is by going to the events you are are interested in, and we wanted to tell you about the next few events coming up, that we’ll be at.
We’d love you to come by, say hi, show us your MOO products and charm us to get discounts and insider gossip!
As a special treat, we also offer free shipping (and sometimes other product discounts) on any orders you place, to pick-up from us at the event. Consider this an extra-special hand delivery …Continue reading this article…
We’ve seen a lot of videos made of MOO products, and they always make us smile. From the unboxing, to the unusual, to the unbelievably informative.
For those who have been wondering what the Mosaic Frames for MiniCards are really like, Andy Piper has the answers. He bought several frames to give as Christmas Gifts, and documented creation process in this video:
(Please note: Andy also showed exceptional restraint – this video was produced before Christmas, but he waited until all the frames were given as gifts before he posted the video :)
We love seeing things like this – and they …Continue reading this article…
Depending on where you are the world, you may or may not know that London, home of both MOO and most of it’s employees, has been overcome by snow. We don’t do ‘weather’ well in this country, really – whatever weather we get, it always comes as a bit of a shock, and so buses, trains, tubes etc are still working out if they can run or not. At time of writing, most are favouring ‘not’.
Consequently, many of the MOO Crew are working from home – and judging from the Twitters we’ve seen, many of you are too. Once you’ve come in from playing in the snow – sorry, working in the snow – you’ll be needing …Continue reading this article…
We see lots of designers and crafters making Business Cards and MiniCards with MOO. Some use them as a regular Business Card, like these, by Ray
Others, like Aaldea Broches incorporate them as part of their packaging:
Or like Jessica Wilson, as part of a display:
Today, we came across these, by T-shirt designer, Squink.
The cute cards on top are for use as regular business cards, but the ones underneath…
are Business Cards printed on our Green stock – which is perfect for writing on…
These cards are signed, numbered certificates, which travel with each limited edition T-shirt sold! Squink’s designer, Chris, uploaded a complete …Continue reading this article…
Here at MOO, we’re seeing more and more people heading out into the freelance or small business world. As a few of the MOO team have been freelancers at different times in our careers, we can’t help but discuss how some things have changed for the better – and other things never seem to get any easier.
One question that’s always tricky to figure out is how much you should charge for your work. Too much, and you’ll never get the clients. Too little, and not only will you be out of pocket, but you’ll start feeling like your work is under valued (and if that’s the situation, you’ll wonder why you ever quit the rat-race in the first place).
Luckily, one …Continue reading this article…
