Message Board business card are they working?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GMCPaul** · 08-07-2003, 07:58 AM

Well we've tried to make sure and include at least 2-3 business cards that advertise this message board with every order we ship for the last year now. I'm preparing to order more and wanted to find out if they are working first. Did any one here find this board because of them? Those that are already here that have purchased from us are you passing them out?? In other words are they a effective way of getting more members for the board and for a even greater exchange of ideas and help.
Let me know!!!!

I give them out. Also when i have someone stop by,or something i ask if they have internet access. I usually show them. My computer is right by my entryway into the house. So i dont have to trapse strangers through the house.
I show them all the board vendors. And i say, this is the guy i usually buy my stuff from. Because i know him personally.
I think it works.
Get some that are Magnetic. I could stick them on the back of my garage door. Thats where my phone is in the shop. That way they would be real handy when dudes stop by.

wow - had no idea you had cards!

(course - i haven't ordered parts from you - seem to get most of the parts from my local junkyards - guess i'm lucky cause there are still lots of parts around here)

don't worry - the time will come when my junkyard won't have what i'm looking for - and i will come a lookin!

i promote this board all the time to every 67-72 truck i see. i usually leave a note on the windshield - or talk to the owner in person, and write down the website. boy - i'll have to order parts from you just so i can get some business cards!

i like the idea of magnets too! good idea fine69!

this is the best board ever!

Where do I find a list of vendors on the message board? It isn't on the pick list. Maybe the vendors would sponsor the board (as advertising). Then Josh wouldn't have to worry about money anymore.

barn9 · 08-07-2003, 12:25 PM

Sounds like you are doing something pretty cool Paul, I think it's a good idea, keep it going.

Earl Junior · 08-07-2003, 12:37 PM

I've handed out your cards to everybody I see with a Chevy pickup. I've even left one under a windshield wiper on some random stranger's '67.

correct me if i am wrong guys, but i think there is a list of vendors on the homepage of the 67-72 chevy truck website.

(the site actually uses this as the main message board).

goto www.67-72chevytrucks.com
and i think the list of vendors is the left on the left panel there

am i right? someone correct me please!

I sent josh some money for the board, I think it's only right if we use this medium as a tool we (the vendors) should support it and WES send me one of your cards w/ the site on it and next time I have mine made I will add it to them.

Longhorn Man · 08-07-2003, 03:40 PM

I have personally handed out about a zillion of them with no luck. Maybe some people lurking, but no one I am aware of actively posting.
However, as long as I have a printer, I will pimp this site. (along with mine which it's URL can be found on the back)

Mudder · 08-07-2003, 08:42 PM

I have given out a lot of my cards thw last couple years and they have this web site and 3 others on the back but I dont know of anyone that has come here from that.

You GOTTA be kidding??!! A mere man correct a woman? LOL! Of course you're right, Dear!

DanoDMano · 08-07-2003, 09:23 PM

I could have passed out a hundred of them by now, but I have none. I just jot the website down. They are a great idea though.....

krazy_texan · 08-08-2003, 02:37 AM

i dont have cards but i am ordering a 1"x18" decal for my back window that says the site name, i thought about getting some bumpersticers or decals made and selling them on the board for members to wear on thier trucks

**GMCPaul** · 08-08-2003, 03:28 AM

Well sounds as though the ones we have had made are getting passed out by some and not sitting in a drawer or trash can so we had several thousand more done up. We ship out 200-300 of these cards a week promoting this site along with our business card and our
Drive It Like You Stole It
bumper stickers, Now done in a Red & Black.
THANKS For the input guys ( Will have to look into those magnetic ones also)!!!!!

I tell a chevy person i can thank of

Longhorn Man · 08-08-2003, 12:57 PM

Paul, can we see this drive it like you stole it sticker?
I've always liked that phrase, but the only stickers I have seen looked like wall mart stickers and I wouldn't buy them. (I don't want a sticker that EVERYONE ELSE has on there ride.)

71Chev · 08-08-2003, 02:11 PM

Here ya go Andy.

We also have more coming, the same but with the web address on them.

ddsmith · 08-08-2003, 02:24 PM

I was suppose to get business cards with my order? I bought the Old Air A/C unit and I don't remember seeing cards in the box. I might have just past by them because I wanted to see the unit. I really need to get a load of the t-shirts the next time around. Cards are nice but tee-shirts are conversation starters. That way I don't even have to be around my truck for people to ask questions about the shirt.

Bill72BB · 08-09-2003, 02:10 PM
