Scratch and Sniff Business Card

Here is a fun and very innovative business card by Eric Nagel. It starts with a bold graphic that includes all of his social media contact information. But Eric has gone the extra mile and subtly reminds us to “wake up and smell the coffee” or maybe he is just treating us to the next best thing. If you can’t drink a cup of coffee at least you can enjoy the aroma. Eric has cleverly added interactivity to his business card by way of a scratch and sniff element. How cool is that!

 “I designed it myself,” Eric told me, “then added scratch n sniff stickers on from http://scratchnsniff.com.”  Very nice touch I’d say.

 

I’ve done other unique business cards,” Eric says, “including decks of playing cards & credit cards (encoded with a hidden message) which you can see at

http://www.ericnagel.com/2009/08/business-cards-that-get-noticed.html . Nobody managed to figure out what was encoded on the credit cards. The clue on the back is the “815” as the CV2. I’m a fan of Lost, so 815 is the flight number they were on when they crashed. All of the cards are encoded with 4 8 15 16 23 42 (the infamous numbers from Lost).

Eric told me about himself. “I’m an affiliate marketer specializing in PPC and SEO. What this means is I do Internet marketing for other companies, and I make money when they make money.”
