Default John D: Dumb idea?

I just had a thought (I know, you THOUGHT you semlled something burning!); I see a few P-cars around and always wonder if I should leave a business card under the wiper telling them about rennlist. It occurred to me that you could make up some business cards that said something like:

Nice Porsche!
For info/discussion/help on your car go to
www.rennlist.com
Proudly sponsered by Porsche AG

or some such thing. You could put a few (10 - 20) in the letters you send out with memberships and we could use them to proselyte (hey, the Mormons do it!). Does that sound crazy?

I do that very thing. Get some freeware business card maker program, see if John will let you use the Rennlist logo, add some simple text about the site, and add your screen name and info on the back.

Cool

Good Idea, Michelle!

Let's make certain we use water proof ink, nothing worse than illegible print on a promo!

John... I'll chip in to help with the costs!

Michelle,

That's a great idea! A long time ago we use to give these out to folks looking to spread the word....



...but your idea(s) are much better! We could get a bunch made up and include them with the memberships like you said. The front could look like:



and the back:



What do you think? Travis what do you think about sponsoring the back?

Hi Michael,

Can you email me privately at jmunson@rennlist.com with your snail mail address so I can ship out another card to you. I didn't realize you never got one! I bet the postal carrier wanted your decal!! Sorry about that!

Hey! I thought of that like two days ago! I saw a beautiful 964 Turbo 3.6, and it got me thinking. Oh well, you beat me to it!

Ohh- Jenn I like it!!
Could I print them out myself? Or would there be some sort of copyright thing I need to be careful of...

I know I've been accused of being somewhat of a Rennlist evangelist!
