Unleashing my inner matchy-matchy

Confession time readers -- I've run amuck with promo materials for BTB. How did I come to this point of wretched excess? It all started with the BTB biz cards which are pictured in the sidebar. Then I thought, wouldn't business card magnets be just the thing?

Then, inexorably, came the pens. These were pricey but fun and the giveaways always inspire more back and forth with readers :-). It's worth it.

So I'm doing more mailings, and thinking, "It's so tacky to mail stuff in used envelopes and enclosing an index card with thanks scribbled on it." I also worried that people would wonder who the heck this person was in the return address? So now I have matching note cards, envelopes, and return address labels.

You'd think that would more than satisfy the my branding needs. But no. I went over the top, with the coup de grace: The BTB notepad.

The first time I sent out a BTB pen, I realized what I'd done. Poor Harv, he'd be so embarrassed to see his image all over every piece of mail. My grandmother used to say that to get dressed, put on all the jewelry you intend to wear and then remove one piece. I could have used her advice for my promo materials. I'll use these up and then reorder on a selective basis.

Seriously if you'd like one, send me your address via behindthebit at blogspot dot com. And use'em!

Oh, and BTW, I buy this stuff from Vistaprint.com -- prices seem pretty good --definitely better than cafepress.com and zazzle.com, and I'm happy with the quality and customization options. Thanks all.
