Default MT Business Cards

If you would be able to order MT tuning business cards for yourself, would you be interested and if so would you pay for them? Cards might have the MT logo on them with your real name, your member name, etc...

I have seen other "on line" clubs use these and they are nice to handout at shows and what not. Great way to help the cause. I have not spoken to MT about this yet as I wanted to get a feel for interest first.

Price depends on quality etc..., but my wife is an operations manager for a printing company, so I could get a good deal on them.

Not to be negative because I have ordered my fair share of items from here, but why would anyone want to pay for advetisement for Mustang Tuning

Yeah it has my name on it but whats the point of having a Mustang Tuning business card.

Again I am not trying to be negative just have questions.

I like the idea, however I think that it needs to be a win-win situation. Lets say it cost $10-$15 to do it. I pay my $15.00 and in exchange recieve 10% from Mustang Tuning. In essence it will pay for it self, while creating more business for MT.

Guys, let me clarify. The idea of having cards is to promote the forums and not soo much MT as a whole. Though, MT benefits too.

In reality, we can't expect MT to give everyone business cards. It just does not make sense.

Additionally, most of us have saved a ton of money by buying things here, so MT already gives the best prices that they can.

So, here me out. I sort of consider the forums here like a club. Yet, we have no membership fee. I simply thought that some of the members might want business cards. Of our 700+ members, i would not think that more than 10 or so would feel the need to have them, if that many. This is clearly not something for everyone.

I think a vinyl sticker would be better that would go on the window. What better advertisement than our own cars. It would be cool to see how many mustang tuning members you might run into and not notice it.

Hmm, Ive been dealing with company's but its for sponsorship's I would be interested in cards to hand out at shows or anyone ask's while there is low prices around here. not everyone on here will get cards If there would be Business Cards with our name and forum name there should be at least a 10% off and a sticker to go along. That is the only way to advertise.

I agree that it should be a win-win situation. MT may have good prices but, it is no big secret that their customer service has lots of room for improvement. Before I go handing out business cards (thus representing the company), I would expect someone (MT) to make it well worth my while. Just my .02.

I also view this forum like a club. It is very helpful to me in learning new things everyday about my car. I think that business cards are great. However, I agree with the statement (mentioned above) that a window decal would be more effective.

Guys, the idea is to promote the forum.

Let's say you are at a show. You make a few friends while there and they want to know how to reach ya. Instead of having to write down information, you give them a business card with info on it for finding you here on the forums. Forum grows, and we all make more contacts. It's about growing the forums.

That's the win.

If you can't see that, then that's fine. You are just somebody that would not be interested in business cards. No harm...no foul. We still still love you.

We can see that, But the more the forums grow the more the business grows. With that you get free advertising that we pay for. How about this If someone buys a product you send a few cards or decal if they have bought before send cards. Thats the way mrbodykit works.

So, I guess that's a "No".

Not at all, Make cards up send out a few with an order but leave a blank on the back or something where the person with the cards can write their name etc.

I think this makes more sense to me. Send the advertisement along with the purchased product. Just like the Borla Exhaust hat I received with my cat-back. If Borla only knew how many comments I get on it.

We have business cards, list your address in this thread and I'll send everyone 15-20 cards. I have boxes and boxes, and boxes of business cards for MT we rarely use.

Thanks for pulling this idea up Blake.
