Yes, this is just one of the many promo items I mail out every year, Keep in mind, though, that these are very inexpensive, and have always been very, very effective. The cards, which are printed both sides, cost about $1 each from Vista Print as custom cards. You can have stock cards printed less expensively, but I like the custom cards better. That price includes shipping and an envelope for each card. They are 5X7 cards, which if you wish, can be set up for a rolodex as well. Every AD I know has a Rolodex directory on his or her desk.

So, over all, between cards, calendars, pens, CDs, I still spend less than $400 a year on advertising, which is less than the fee for one, four-hour, private party. I think things like these are a pretty good bang for the buck.

Finally got photobucket to work - they were down for maintenance this morning. Here's both sides of the cards I sent out last week.





I also had a 24 X 36 poster made, which will be framed with a poster frame from Staples. It will have an erasable schedule segment at the bottom and will be posted in one of the places I play regularly, mainly because the AD forgets to put it on their events calendar.

Feel free to steal any and all of my stuff - Hell, I'll even buy the beer.

Good info. Thanks for the tip.

BTW I've opened more than a few gigs with a similiar line "Welcome to my job"
Stole it from NJ shore legend Lou Caddy years ago.
