Mal -

Last summer, when BigKev knew fer sure that he would be at the annual meet in Warren, I asked him to e-mail me a template that he had used for printing some business cards to hand out at a PI meet in his area.

I pasted his elements into Word, using the Avery business card template and printed 200 cards Friday evening, in COLOR. I delivered them to BigKev Saturday morning, to hand out as he made his way around the grounds - and drop on the front seat of every car on the show field. I believe that gave the site a little boost over June, as depicted in the graph.

Now, word of mouth, links on other sites back to this one, and site rankings on search engines help too, but they only go so far. Clearly, new, additional features keep people coming back, and the live chat will be heavily used by existing members.

Yet, I think it helps to have a subtle reference in-hand like those business cards to get people to take a first look at the site. Perhaps others members will be in a position to hand out cards similarly; if so, BigKev can provide them with a copy of the Word file with my blessing. I would only ask that they not edit or add to the card without BigKev's permission.
