Cool markeing ideas are hard to come up with, and even harder to execute.  Well, you don’t always need to be original…

We developed a business card display and drop box for furniture manufactures to use at their next furniture fair. While many companies do not have a drop box, often buyers in a hurry will walk by a booth and grab a card or catalog. Why not make it clear that you expect their contact info in return, so you can tell them about new designs and innovations your company has come up with.

I have seen boxes before, from nice vases to marketing boxes. I looked online for business card advertising displays, and found nothing like what I’ve seen at the shows, so we had to start from scratch. The best resource I found on google has some cool ideas, but I figured we could improve on it… Also, these did not fulfill the purpose I was looking for.

Our card box is not only a drop box, but also holds business cards in the front. As well as letting buyers know they can the factory on goodfactories.com and the factory can use us as an independent verification.

This box is not perfect, its a bit hard to set up, and the lip for the business card holder is too small, but this is a good start.

Suppliers had a good reaction to the box, but we did not anticipate the show security shutting us down.  We had to keep our mission quiet, and did not distribute as many holders as we would have liked, but we did manage to get over a hundred into appreciative suppliers booths…
