Stamp Marketing

For about $10 we bought a couple of self inking stamps online. The stamps are rather small but are a quick and easy way to share the MoHDI link with people. Khris and I have talked about going to free public concerts or events and hand stamping people as they come in. We might even try to swap the hand stamp at the Roller Derby or other events with MoHDI stamps, this concept of marketing is pretty cool, each person would then be an inked advertisment. Despite the small size of the self inking stamp it sure comes in handy. I have stamped many of match books at my local hangouts. Stamping is fun, marketing is fun, so if you want to have lots of fun, I suggest trying stamp marketing.

Hey! that’s brilliant! This is how I make my “business” cards, too — I have a self-inking stamp and stamp the backs of playing cards from old board games and whatever else falls into my hands, but I like the viral aspect of doing match books in bars. And also!! I was going to ask you where you got a stamp for $10 (’cause mine was like, $20) but lo! On the right hand side of this very window!: Google is telling me where I can buy stamps … You guys are on a roll … Did you read/hear/whatever about the clubs that are stamping people’s hands with the numbers of taxi cabs and the instruction not to drive drunk? it’s one of those stories that I think I heard while half asleep or half drunk or something. I don’t really remember much except that it upped their revenue — the cab companies, I mean. And I have the vague impression it was in a third world country. Anyhoo — stamp on!

[…] I thought Jimmy the owner of Beullahland was going to explode on me last night when he saw I was stamping all his matchbooks with the MoHDI stamp. I was very fortunate that Jimmy was as tolorant as he was and didn’t throw me out on my ear. I do love that bar and don’t know of any other place in town I can smoke cigarettes, drink Stumptown coffee and sketch out ideas that late at night. I held off on telling Jimmy Carol’s idea of replacing his pint glasses with sippy cups at the bar. Apperently business owners might not like the idea of another business hijacking their matchbooks for advertising. I think I’ll check with Jimmy before I start stamping the toilet paper. Khris and I met tonight for our weekly MoHDI business meeting. MoHDI sure can require a lot of work. I do hope that after Khris gets back from Australia for his Mostlandia project we will be able to dedicate full time to MoHDI stuff. There are so many fantastic projects going on, we are really looking forward to being able to spend more time working on them. One of the basic ideas behind MoHDI is that “Things get done when the get done.” And we have been working hard behind the scenes to deliver some amazing products, services and ideas, it just takes some time. Mary challenged us a while ago to some sort of idea competiotion and Paul has a very slow game of tennis going with us and we have not had time to illustrate several of Carols wonderful underwear ideas. Everyday we keep getting more fantastic ideas that we can not share with you fast enough. The forums are growing slowly and we even have some people on our newsletter. The ideas come easy blogging about them seems to be the hard part. In the very near future. […]

[…] I feel like I did pretty well in achieving my goals although I didn’t manage to get my new business cards made or my tri-fold promotional materials with charts and things on them. I also somehow managed to skip a shower, tie, combing my hair and some other important things. I probably smelled like an ashtray that someone spilled old coffee into. Next time I’m going to go with a sales person to do my talking for me and just sit and observe and pick out people I want them to talk to for me. I did manage to make some business cards out of my bristol board paper, my MoHDI (matchbook stamp), my scissors and corner rounderer. One lady I gave my card pointed out that my card was crooked. I told her it fits with our brand, although the part of me was kicking myself for not getting the newer cards made. The other part of my was thinking “Lady, for someone who doesn’t have a business card, you shouldn’t be criticizing.” I have no idea what type of business she might be operating, she didn’t even have a business card.
