I have been whirling around in my head just recently ways that artists and creative business people promote themselves. I keep hearing the words Moo Cards.
I am sure moo is a great company, with many advantages and attractive features. I am not here to bash the moo quality or product at all.
It DOES seem to me however, that a connection to a good print house should be pretty high on a creative professionals list of "things to do".
I have a couple of places that I have sent to work for print, and I am always amazed at the options and exciting possibilities of walking into a local print shop and talking to the printers themselves.
I have found my local printers to be personally invested and interested in the products and projects I am working on.
My short post & thought for the day... buy local print local.... or at least try it, you might be surprised. If all else fails.... there is Moo.
People use moo for LOTS of creative reasons - they make awesome additions to small displays, people collect them, artists treat them like ATC's, they have a beautiful surface feel so they are very tactile, when you order a pack u can have a different image on each card. Local is great! I do that as much as as I can with as many products as I can. Promotion media are like cars....u pick the ones that meet your needs.
