Given
that your clients may not find
your favorite human-body tricks
particularly impressive, it's
sometimes hard to find that
special edge that will help you
stand out from the crowd.
Regular business cards are
usually tossed aside or hidden
in the back of a wallet until
your potential customer decides
to do some spring
cleaning. A "who was
this guy?" is followed by
the long-forgotten name and card
making their way to the nearest
trash bin and out of your
client's mind--forever. On
the other hand, if paper
business cards have their
disadvantages, what exactly are
your options?
At
Zitech Logic we present:
CD business cards, the business
card of the new millennium. |
|
A
CD business card is a business-card
sized digital CD that can fit in a wallet and can be
played/viewed from any regular computer
CD-disk drive. Like a regular
paper business card, the front side
features a company logo or design.
Unlike regular paper cards, however, a
CD business card has virtually all the
space you could ever need to advertise
yourself and your company. The CD
can hold up to 50MB of brochure-like
information, MPEG video, music, and
web-style pages. At Zitech
Logic, we can even develop and include small commercials, product
demonstrations or live performances.
With interactive background music,
animations, navigation and presentations
your card holds
everything you need to present your product
and services.
With
CD business cards, the possibilities are
literally endless. We can install an HTML
page that allows customers to go
straight to your website or e-mail
for an immediate response. Another
option is a digital photo gallery that
shows products, employees, locations,
or inventory. The CD
business card can also contain print & fax
applications, company policies,
biographies, resumes, floor plans,
menus or any other company document.
Here are some other uses for the CD
Business Card...
Wedding
Invitations with a live video
message from the couple, wedding
itinerary, local events, directions
and an e-mail link for RSVPs.
Real
Estate Demos can consolidate several
properties into a video presentation
that
shows interiors, exteriors, and nearby
attractions. Allows your
clients to view
multiple properties in minutes.

animations that lead into your
ultra-groovy website.
CD
Business Card FAQ
Not
all my customers are computer
literate. I'm afraid a CD business
card would be a bit much for them....
A
CD business card will still be small
enough to fit in a wallet just like a
regular paper card. The front is
imprinted with a four-color custom logo
label, so like a regular paper card, the
CD business card will remind them of
you. And the CD business cards are
a cinch to use and require only enough
knowledge of computers to be able to put
the CD in the CD disk drive.
If
you're still worried about not reaching
all of your customers, there's no reason
you can't combine printed
business cards with CD business
cards. You can hand one to one
customer, the other to another, and both
to those extra special
people.
Aren't
the CD business cards kind of hard to
carry around?
Not
at all. They are only very
slightly larger than regular business
cards.
Does
my customer need a special CD drive to
read such a tiny disk?
Absolutely
not. The CD will play from any
regular CD disk drive.
Do
they come with a case like regular CDs?
Yes.
They come with a thin protective casing
to protect them from scratches.
Do
people mail CD business cards?
Absolutely.
They make great mail-out material.
They are light weight and cheaper to
produce and to mail than most
brochures.
