Title: I Need Someone To Help Me Print The New FOT Cards. Any Advice?
Post by: Tom Scharpling on June 04, 2009, 12:31:51 AM: Hello there, all!

Does anybody have any advice insofar as me getting the new FOT cards - for those who pledged to the marathon - printed up? I am doing this out of pocket, so anyone who has potential access to something resembling a 'deal' will be my buddy.

Thank you.

Tom.

We do posters, business cards, brochures...the whole nine yards so to speak. If you tell me the size of the card and how many you want printed, I can get you some numbers. Also, I will layout and design anything you need gratis. I am pretty sure I can get printing costs down and am willing to donate what I can. There is a possibility of these being super lo-cost to no-cost as my work really owes me a solid right now.

They're currently sponsoring Jordan, Jesse Go! and offering a 15% discount to anyone who mentions the show in their order. Mayhap if you ask Jesse to intercede, you could even get them to knock an additional couple of points off.

No, it's not.

Please elaborate at length.

Post by: TheEndIsNearlyOver on June 09, 2009, 10:17:09 AM: I'm sure I'm way late on this, but I designed some cards for you once a couple of years ago (after a show where you suggested all future FOT cards would be stamped in metal) and I still have the design. I'll be happy to send that along if will help speed up the process. And, I have business cards printed at http://www.gotprint.com.
