Don’t show up empty handed at SXSW.
February 2010, by Lisa | 2 Comments – latest by DeniseAlot of you receive our MOOsletter and will already know that a few of the MOO Crew are off to SXSWi.
We’ll be hanging out at the UK Digital Mission Booth on Saturday March 13th from noon – 3pm. Come by to pick up your pre-orders or just to say hello and we can exchange cards. We look forward to seeing you all in Austin.
If you’ve been to SXSW or any conference before, you’ll know there’s a lot of great socializing (ahem, I mean networking). You get a chance to meet people from all parts of the US, Canada and even some from further afield. The problem I find is remembering everyone I met and why I want to …Continue reading this article…
Postcards. Are they the new Mega Business Cards?
February 2010, by Lisa | 33 Comments – latest by Jen KiabaIf you received last week’s MOOsletter and the special discount for postcards, you may be asking yourself “Why? Why would I want to make postcards? Aren’t they just to be sent to your Nan from the seaside?”
Well, we think sending a card to Nan is always nice and you know Nan isn’t the only one who likes to receive post (hint. hint.) Here’s two examples of the traditional travel postcard with a unique twist.
We loved this set of black and white photographs by Lucie Wicker of Snowy Boston.
The Fab Four: A fashionable affair
February 2010, by Fiona | 5 Comments – latest by Heidi Richards MooneyWe’re always interested in finding out more about our clients – how they started out, what motivates them and how they adapt our products to suit their different types of businesses and projects. So we got VERY excited about the chance of talking to not just one but FOUR fashion professionals about themselves and the different ways they use MOO to promote their work. From stickers on make-up pots to Postcards at parties, 70s record covers …Continue reading this article…
What’s the Buzz?
February 2010, by Simon G | 2 Comments – latest by Simon G
The web is full of social networks. Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Bebo, LinkedIn, XING, and now… Google Buzz.
Google launched their own foray into the world of social networking last week (somewhat a little later than it’s search rival Yahoo!) with what seems like little concern for privacy, but aptly a lot of Buzz.
There are reports across the web (from some major news sources) of ‘privacy violations‘ and …Continue reading this article…
Stuck for ideas?
February 2010, by Denise | Add a commentSometimes we do things and forget to tell you. Not often I admit, but now and again. A while back, when Flickr introduced its ‘Gallery‘ feature, we had rather too much fun making some galleries of our own.
We’ve always found the shots in the Flickr Pool inspirational. There’s everything there from packaging ideas to illustration inspiration. Great Postcards to market a photography business or lovely ideas for wedding thank you cards.
So, if you’re on the look out for some ideas as to what you can do with MOO, grab a cuppa and have a browse:
One of our most popular galleries is Packaging ideas for sellers. It features simple tricks for …Continue reading this article…
Weekend sale! (And a quick CS update)
February 2010, by Denise | 1 Comment – latest by Lindsay WakelinIt would be silly to say a cheap we ‘love you’, just because it’s Valentine’s Day this Sunday – after all, we’ve never even met some of you! It does seem rather forward.
Having said that, we really do like you alot. Yes, you.
And because of that, we’re offering you 10% off MiniCards and Business Cards this weekend*!
So in-between gazing lovingly at your partner, or scowling because the restaurants and florists seem to’ve put their prices up again, be nice to yourself too, and get a bargain.
In other news, there’s been much discussion in the office this week about President’s Day, which is a public holiday in the USA. Our fantastic US Crew …Continue reading this article…
Picture perfect – the art of wedding photography
February 2010, by Fiona | 3 Comments – latest by Derek from WeddingtelevisionWe often showcase wedding photographer Rima Darwash’s sumptuous range of bespoke MOO Business Cards at trade shows as excellent examples of their type. Vibrant, moving and full of soul, her images reflect the passion and flair she has for her work and, when it comes to promoting her business, her cards speak volumes. We thought it was about time we talked to the woman behind the camera to find out a bit more about her inspiration, her passion for photography and building up a business from scratch. We also wanted to get some sneaky tips on how she uses MOO to promote her business…
Describing her work as her “true calling”, Rima’s first …Continue reading this article…
