One Really Incredible Marketing Tool and 3 Ways to Use It

If you have business cards, then you have to take a look at this very cool and cheap device. It is called the "Card Caddie," and it allows you to distribute your business cards right off of your car or the door to your business.

Here's a few pics of this little marketing wonder in action:

At just under fifteen dollars, this is a no brainer.

3 Ways to use CardCaddie to get almost 100 extra sales a year

1) Place it on your car. This could easily add 12 sales a year just from your car sitting in a parking lot.

2) Place it on your office door. This makes it real easy for anyone who stops by after hours to grab a card with your information on it. Easily 24 sales a year.

3) Place them in the break rooms of executive suites. There are about 100+ executive suite centers in most major cities. All of these offices share one single breakroom with a big refrigerator where you can place a CardCaddie. Easily 50 sales a year.

Please take a look at their webpage and post your comments on what you think of it, and also post any other ways you think it can be used to distribute or market business cards.

Thanks for the good idea! I did not see a vendor in the US, did I miss that? I guess I could ask the inventor, just noticed his link!; ▶ Reply to This

I remember how my dad would always have his door size magnets on his cars promoting his business in the 80s. Having a bunch of small ones to take away definitely would have added some more business.; ▶ Reply to This

So let's work with the little ideas that bring some clients/ traffic our way. Instead of going against the tide trying to bring in 100 leads from one or two sources, why not have 30 or 35 streams which bring in 3 leads each = 90 to 105 leads

Over time this strategy really gains momentum and the savvy marketer wins the game!

You can wash it with your car. I recommend it and that is a good time to check your cards and make sure the Card Caddie is clean. :0

You can offer them an opportunity to do business with you. Or just as you are walking the dog down the street you tend to meet more people out walking the dog. People love people with pets.Of course your dog would have to be people friendly.; ▶ Reply to This

Hey just joking but maybe you should tell your buyers to super glue it on there car/tuck window so that won't happen ;-)
Good luck hope you sell millions.
