Business Card CDR's and Labels... - spacescape - 08-23-2006

Has anyone ever used Ritek RiData Business Card CDR's from Meritline.com?

How about either of these labels?

We will be using the labels w/a Canon Color Copier (Laser?) and am wondering if it's best to use the Matte Labels.

I'm also planning on getting a Business Card HandiCD Labeler Kit from Neato.

I would re-think the cd-card idea.
Most people are afraid (for good reason) to actually insert then in a computer.

Would you do Mini CDR's instead? They always work for me using a TRAY CDRom.

Perhaps, but other than Mac towers and older tray-loading systems, there aren't too many Macs that can use them. If your audience is mainly PC-Based, no problemo.

I second the recommendation to avoid giving out undersized CD-ROMs. Aside from the (justified) concern about inserting arbitrary CDs into a computer, many unaware/unthinking consumers will insert them into their slot loading CD-ROM (or car CD-Player). You may find yourself into a situation of needing to defend against lawsuits.

This is a less than $100 marketing experiment for a tradeshow... Probably MOST if not ALL of them are Windows users.

Thanks!

I know business card CDs and slot loading players are a no no. What about the round mini CDs?


Re: Business Card CDR's and Labels... - TheTominator - 08-23-2006

Are slot-loading CD-ROM's common on Windows PC laptops? (The non-MacBook/MacBook Pro variety that can also now be considered a Windows PC laptop.)

Hey, who else wants to take a trip back to 1997?!
Have you heard? The new, hip thing is going to be these "web sites" with "Flash intros."
