Getting out there and popping media bubbles is imminently valuable - and this does that.

This is priceless.

I saw a mother nursing her infant child with a ~6 year old next to her “begging” outside of Target today. In the most wealthy nation in the history of all humankind. In. The. Most. Wealthy. Nation. In. The. History. Of. All. Humankind.

This is why I post.

People go along daily lives living as they do and browsing the internet as they do and buying the same shit from the same stores as they do. As we all do. As you do. As I do. As your mom does. As your uncle does. As your friend does. As your neighbor does. As that one guy down the street does. As Joe and Jane do.

This here speaks to those people - to our selves and friends and to those like us and those maybe not like us.

It’s way cheaper than VistaPrint which I thought was the cheapest. It’s about 1/3 of the cost. If you are spending $1 at VP, you’re spending $0.30 at B.

Go to the “Business Cards” option.

You can use your own designs or these https://ibb.co/NYGH1qV — https://ibb.co/ZfCKp1J — https://ibb.co/5WnHxyv — https://ibb.co/9WksmNL — https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=i.postimg.cc%2fx1tGPXzw/drsgmeredux.jpg — https://ibb.co/L54kjzG — https://lemmy.kya.moe/imgproxy?src=i.postimg.cc%2fRZVKqvDX/drsgmeredux2.jpg.

Those last three designs are a little old, fwtw. The middle ones I made just for this post.

Now…

A few ways to use them:

go to a big-box stores and slip then into any box/product you can find; almost ALL boxes have a way to slip a small piece of paper/thin cardboard into and it’s fucking intriguing when you open a new item and there’s something like this in there.

the more well-to-do parts of town may be a better target market, as you’re more likely to find people with expendable cash, though any store will work

on that note: specific products to consider (there are many others): lightbulbs, safes, eggs, diapers, beer, other security, lighting, family-type products…

the beer/alcohol sections of grocery stores andor liquor/beer stores are really good; easy to place cards, generally, and people drinking may be more likely to talk and learn

in the same vein, but going to higher-dollar department stores (Niemann Marcus, Nordstrom, etc…) and putting them into breast pockets, pant pockets, etc… of clothes hanging on the rack (higher statistical probability of whales shopping in these type of stores)

inside free newspapers/magazines that are left out at the entrances to stores or, say, sitting on the counter at some ice cream shop

leave in restrooms on urinals, in stalls, on mirrors; gives people something to read while nature calls or washing hands; may take them to read at the table or at home bored

may be best to go on the weekends when more people are shopping to give you a little cover; either way ve completely comfortable and non-chalant; even if you were to be “caught” it’s not a problem, like, at all

use your imagination… there are countless possibilities. Anywhere you feel comfortable and out-of-the-eye-of-sauron where you can slip cards into is good. Just fucking do it. Just. fucking. do. it.

We win when we.

If you’re reading this, then you really have no excuse to NOT order $20 worth of cards and do this every time you walk into a store.

Statistically speaking, one of the cards you GUERILLA fucking MARKET will make a bigger difference than what you can do alone.
