Business cards are normally used to announce yourself, and to give the recipient your contact information. Now theyve got another use -- as collectibles.
Jonathan Cohen, copywriter/consultant for The Essential Message, is offering his oversized business cards as a limited-edition, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Not only do the cards have the usual name, address, and telephone number, but they expand to elaborate on the companys philosophy -- getting at your essential message so you can communicate more effectively and get more sales.
Why collectible business cards? We take business cards for granted, Cohen says. Like anything else you give to people who matter in your life, a business card has value.
These business cards are signed and numbered by Cohen, in limited quantities. Once this run is gone, theyre gone forever. You have the chance to own a real piece of history here, Cohen adds. And the best part? Its free -- aside from
shipping of course.
Will Jonathan Cohens Essential Message business cards appreciate in value? Its anyones guess, he adds. But heres what I think: Wouldnt you rather have a handsomely-framed business card in your
office, rather than a black velvet poster with dogs playing poker?
