Please tell me I am not the last person to make a decision about cards/stickers/cutesy stuff to give to people I meet at BlogHer.

 

I am NOT ending up printing them out the night before on a colicky printer...again...am I?

 

Also--what to put on them? I ran into the issue last year that while my cards had my blog name and url...and an email addy...

They didn't have my name. Or my contact info outside of email. Perfectly wonderful...except when say someone wants to send you a book, or french fries, or give you a job. So, I spent a lot of time at swag tables scrawling an address I hadn't quite memorized...and my handwriting is awful. 

 

So...what to do? Where to order from? And did I mention the two teens that are coming with me want cards TOO? Yeah. One has definitively chosen moo cards...but he has no idea what he wants on either side of them. 

 

Do I run with business friendly cards AND normal hey, am a gawky in the corner blogger cards/stickers/secret plot I don't want to share?

I just picked out mine and ordered them yesterday.  I'm a slacker on this part.  I should have done it while I was on vacation last week but I didn't!  Hopefully mine get here on time!!

I'm just hoping that the fancy printer/copier/scanner at my parents' house works better than the plain printer at my apartment, which refuses to print anything on a template. My plan is to use the cards I printed for my book, and on the back, stick some labels with my blog info. I've still got a few CUSS stickers, too.

And now it's too late for me to order bookmarks and have them in time. Procrastination FAIL!

I used Zazzle and the turnaround was blazing fast. You could always order them and get them sent here.

 I would slap a URL and a tagline. And you? 

 Tagline "Hating laundry, dishes but love my family and sponsors" or "Making Terrible Housekeeping an Art Form" or pull a fragment from your favorite post ever. (which is what I played with for the back of my Zazzle shirts this year)

I have a sponsor giving me 250 custom stickers plus 250 to give away. The thing is, I already have a business card, so if I'm going to give someone a sticker, I want it to say something that they might even want to slap on their own laptop. But...what?

I am not good with the quips. Any thoughts?

and those suckers will keep forever or until the next convention or an opportunity to present your skills elsewhere.

1 down and 499 to go. Piece of cake.

Yeah, I procrastinated. Ordered 500 business cards today from Vista Print. They are supposed to arrive by the 21st.  I know... cutting it close! 

I know I probably should have ordered more, but seriously... I can't see myself handing them out to everyone.

I hear the print them double sided now. You do know that people are gonna ask especially after the Keynote? I got one place that keeps sending me notices that they will print for free if I cough up S/H.

Come on, you can do this. Pick a template, type in the particulars and bada boom, you are done. Cuz out of 1,000+ women I'm think a few are gonna want the card.

Oh, just found out about LobbyCon. Better make that 1,300+
Yeah, no pressure here.

I will obviously be the one printing on our colicky printer since I have absolutely no time to think about this.

What's frustrating is that every year, immediately after the conference, we talk about what cool things we're going to do NEXT year. Yet we never do those cool things.
