Band Flicker - Business Card
When I started this venture I was selling my wares at Swamp market in Bristol in the UK. There I was asked by several people if I had a business card. I didn’t.
When I got home I looked up how much business cost. They were expensive. I realised 2 things, most people throw away business cards and I had lots of nearly empty rolls of 3d printing material. Rolls without enough left to print something sellable but too much to waste.
So these were born. These are designed to be little toys that people are less likely to throw away. They also use up those last bits of material thus the material cost is effectively zero.
They were a hit. At the next few markets I would pick up a basket of these and say to someone, “please take my card” they would say “no thanks… wait what’s that?” I would explain and they would take one. My social media following greatly increased and I got several orders as a result. It is also nice to be able to give something away in a world where everything is so expensive.
I then got orders for custom ones of these.
