This Business Card Is Armed and Dangerous!

Gone are the days when you have to settle for the same old boring business card that everyone else has. There are so many clever options available now. Yesterday Misty posted an article called “Why Not Use a Techie Business Card?” I enjoyed that article a lot, and as a follow up, I’d like to present you with another business card option. This one shoots pennies.

This is the most useless cool thing I’ve seen all week so far. It may not be very professional, and as a matter of fact, it’s not even that attractive, but I challenge you to find a business card that is more fun! This card is a standard business card size with a magazine that pops up on the top where you can load up to 10 pennies which shoot in rapid succession up to 15 feet. How cool is that?

Now you can create a mini shooting gallery anywhere you go! I can think of several clients of mine that would love this. I’m sure that people wouldn’t throw away this business card. These cards were created by a mechanical engineer in Oklahoma named Bryce Bell. If you are interested in building your own penny shooter business card, Bryce posted some very basic instructions here: http://cardnetics.com.

This video has only been on YouTube for a week and it already has over 314,000 views. Congratulations Bryce! You have a winner with this one.

I think that is when you know you’ve tapped into a true passion. Whatever that thing may be, if you could do it all day or night long, lose track of time, ‘wake up’ ten hours later, and still thirst for more, that is a passion, and I feel like I’ve found that in my writing.” Diana also spends many hours each week assisting the homeless men and women in Atlanta.

Burrrrp!

Sorry about that. It’s just that I couldn’t think of anything to say, Diana.

Hmmm. After reading this post, my monkey mind was derailed like a train wreck.

This is so zen! Not the penny-flinging card. The post!

Ingenious!
You’d definitely have to hand these out after a meeting or no one would pay attention to your pitch and someone would lose an eye.
