Business Card or Refrigerator Magnet?

[Barry-QDCC]

I just sat down to re-design my business cards. I've redone my logo and changed a few things. I also have refrigerator magnets that are the same size as a business card. I still have plenty of each but because of the changes I've made I kinda want to start with a fresh look.

But it hit me as I started my designing that I actually probably pass out refrigerator magnets like 10 to 1 over business cards. When doing the paperwork at a customers house I usually either put a magnet on their refrigerator or hand it to them. Most of the time they walk over and put it someplace that they can find it.

I don't seem to get the same reaction when I hand them a business card. It's almost like I can tell it's going to be shit-canned as I walk out the door.

What say you guys??

Do both.
Some clients file everything. And bus cards are dirt cheap, even fancy ones.

We have both in our clipboard and our van and offer both because some of our clients don't like to put magnets on their fridge or are stainless steel

I stick magnets all over the Rig.

Door Jambs are the perfect spot : )

I agree with Ofer. With the low price of business cards from places like Gotprint or Vista Print, I'd do both!

I'll have an auction up this weekend for 500 of Sholom's magnets


which are the very best available.

I like his quality.

We have purchased both Isuzu box truck and transit van magnets from him.

I wish. It just passes through here, I barely get to touch it and its gone.

They are nice...

He's a smart guy for doing the auctions. Even if he looses money on one of the sales, how many are going to go back to crappy magnets after having very nice ones? He's getting clients for life.

Both.

We do both, business cards and magnets. We advertise our logo/phone/site but add a calendar to it. Least its something useful to look at. We actually have customers asking us for the 2014 magnets if we haven't seen them since 2013. Return customers we check sometimes when cleaning a living/dining room and look at the fridge and the magnet is still there from and center lol. Good thing I made them again for this year. Here's the simple magnet:

I like the calender idea...I would worry that come 2015 they would toss me in the trash..I try to come up with something that will stay out front all the time...
