27. Too much information (so to speak)

Why not just give a few links or, better yet, put all your links together on one website . Then you can just send folks to that page rather than having it all on the card.
If i were Average Joe, I wouln't bother because I wouldn't want to have to choose what to look up.

Too, Average Joe may not have the time or patience to visit all of the sites you have listed.


So: my opinions are:

use punchy headlines on the cards as many have suggested
keep design short, sweet, sloganny (think laundry detergent, adverts "new" "improved""Free beer" "Just Do it"

use no vocabulary words that would be too fancy for Faux/CNN/Reality show viewers

Must not come off as Lefty Kooky. Mustn't scare anyone off.
Put up a website that synthesises the information clearly, briefly, bullet-pointy (a la drudge, Buzzflash) with links to the other sites.
Bonus is that you can keep adding links whereas the cards could go stale.
Site could include 'check back often for updates" or 'bookmark this page for frequent updates"



I do like the biz card format, though.

Under windshield wipers in Kmart/Walmart/Target/grocery store parking lots

Bulletin boards everywhere

Insert between pages uf popular books/magazines

Stick them in magazines at Dr's office

Public restrooms; tape a bunch insire stall doors

Tape to back of taxi or bus seats, subway walls, route maps




blah blah
