So I designed about 500 different moo cards, thinking of new ideas each time, but I haven't decided for sure whether to even do them or not.
100 mini cards (1x3 inches) = $20 + $5 shipping. That means .25 a card. For being super adorable, this seems okay for me, but I have my reserves (see below).
50 business cards (regular size) is the same price as above.
They both have my pictures on the front (as many different ones as I want), and all of my business and contact information on the back. Super cute, but I can't decide which is better.
The mini-moos are adorable and unique in their size, but I'm afraid they may be harder to keep track of because they're smaller.
But the business cards are pretty expensive!
Oh, choices..
I can make the fronts of the cards using pictures I've taken of my items (and I made one with ME, too! hahaha), or I can make them using text, as seen above.
What do you think?
- mini-moos (if so, do you like pictures or text?)
- business cards
- yes business cards, but use another company (if you choose this, please let me know what's better!)
- any other option??

I like the second picture better! Its more eye catching to me! =] There was another card company out there..oh my gosh, as I am writing this, I remembered their name: Vista Print or Vista Printing... I remember they were pretty cheap. Not sure what all you can do with the cards and such though. Anywho, cute! =]
If you go for standard size business cards, I also want to suggest Vista Print. They're cheap.
But I personally think you should go with the mini-moos, the ones in the first screenshot. I think the smaller size catches a person's attention, it's not a regular old business card.
I can't be too helpful with the card issue. I don't know squat about printing them, but I love your design.
I like the mini-moos. They are different, so they are a bit more memorable. I like the greens and blues that you have in your picture.

I vote... umm... mini moos for sure. Aaand... I think the first screenshot. I was thinking pictures of your items, but I'm not sure that would translate well to such a little card. Good luck choosing!
I agree, that moo cards are uber-cute, but will get lost in the shuffle because of their size. I personally use business cards, but why not do some of each?
You can get business cards printed at VisaPrint for super cheap. Take the moo-cards to your local kinkos, and trim them yourself.

I got my business cards from moo!! They turned out really great! I say go with the business cards, the minis are cute but they could be hard to keep track off!
I just ordered business cards from overnightprints.com and they turned out great! They have a lot more choices than vista prints plus I think you can upload your own image. If you enter the code CARDS08 at checkout you get $10 off. I got 100 one sided cards and all I had to pay was shipping. lovealwaysxox@gmail.com
The mini moos are pretty cool though!
I prefer regular business cards. I use Vista Print, and you can design your own card there. They have reasonable prices and quick delivery too.

You did a great job with the design and I think the second one makes the letters pop out a bit more. I haven't used Vista Print for cards but I've used them for custom stamps and they were inexpensive and quick to ship.

just saw you on twitter. I definitely like the mini-moos. I have been playing around with them, too. A different size isn't a bad thing, makes you different and definitely pictures. And I think I would do favorite pictures of your items. Moo's are meant for photos - well, at least I think so.
Personally I don't like mini moo cards. I think you can do more with a regular sized business card because you have more space. But the key to it is not to look cluttered but still clean, simple, interesting and with your information.
I used a local company and the girl who designed my blog to make cards for my blog (which is my business/brand) and I could not be more satisfied!
P.S. Here is a link to mine :)
