I'm not sure what the heck to think of this.

Is this guy a one man band?

After watching the vide I wonder if his business is making "pop up" books for children :yum:
 
And then there is this:

All business cards are crap, unless they are made of meat!

I've been stuck going to so many of these seminars about how to be the best (fill in the blank). A few were on business cards. I liked the one guy who commissioned 3 polling companies to ask about odd sized, odd shaped or just otherwise odd business cards. Almost 90 percent of the people polled said that they threw the cards away because they didn't fit in their file and they sure in the heck weren't going to put it on their desk with family pictures etc. LOL!

So, statistically, the guy in the first video is crap. And, honestly, I've had people pitch me on products or services with weird ass business cards. What did I do with them? I pitched them. I had no convenient place to put them. Heck, one guy had his cards the standard size but made of a high grade of stainless (he sold steel). I used it in my shop for scraping, marking and other sorts of things. It's gone now. Can't recall his name.
 
The latest buisness card that I kept, even though I didn't plan to use it to contact the giver was one that looks like a 100 dollar bill folded to be the size of a business card. This one is folded in half and you open it up and see the persons name and number etc. But it looks exactly like a 100 bill. They are thinner stock (more like money) than a standard card so they are not any thicker.
The guy is a car salesman and said the reaction of most is not to want to take his card when they see the c note, but then they laugh and take it after they know what it is. He told stories of putting one on the floor in a bar or on the car lot to see who sees it and what they do. Some will look around before picking it up thinking it's money, others will pick it up and take it to the office to turn it in without looking at it closely. ...the things they'll do for entertainment. :yum:
