Unique self promotion

IGI Member David McClelland show us an original way of standing out with your marketing materials.
For me business cards get old really quickly. Now being an artist I should include a piece of work on my business cards but if it takes me a year to move a bunch of cards that image can suddenly get old and irrelevant. My solution was to print out blank business cards and use them as a mini sketchbook creating individual pieces of art reflecting the time, my surrounding and what I’m thinking about.

Business card details with space for a handwritten job description.
