Meatcards is a company that provides business cards made out of beef jerky with information applied via laser to the meat. The website boasts "MEAT CARDS do not fit in a Rolodex, because their deliciousness CANNOT BE CONTAINED in a Rolodex" which I think is pretty funny.
Business cards made out of meat? This is a little hyper-masculine, but it is more interesting than getting handed a regular business card. I don't know how practical this is, but it is an untraditional way to get your business out there. This tactic does accomplish one thing, and that is marketing a completely unique, and rather innovative, product and service. The only thing I am confused about is whether people are supposed to eat these cards if you give them one or save the beef jerky card forever.
I would love to see the people that get handed one of these by an interviewee or new business partner. How do you take that seriously? But in certain situations it would be more appropriate; for example, I could see these being given out as samples at a butcher, meat shop, or even a leather store. It would also be funny to see the guy who slips one of these in those restaurant jars to win a free lunch or something.
