Entice Clients with Interactive Business Cards (Includes Video)
This week's piece, by designer Claudia Neri of Teikna Design, is a clever interactive format that shows off some of the projects that the firm has produced. But what makes this piece unique is that it contains a booklet that opens up into a poster.
The outer cover is Plike, offering a rose-petal feel. The business cards are held together with a rubber band—which makes it look like a treat to open. Within the inside cover, there are instructions on how to create a business card stand. Teikna's business cards are placed there, as well as a small booklet that displays the firm's work. The booklet can also be opened to view as a mini poster. And at any given point in time, you can pick the image you like best, select it and place it in the business card stand. Now, what a wonderful way to entice clients and entertain them!
