So we've gotten several questions about what were up to, to help promote the ActiveRain Real Estate Network at the big NAR conference in New Orleans.  We'll here it is, or at least one of the things :) 

We've designed personalized "referral cards" for our members.  It's essentially a stylish business card that on one side has a little advertisement for ActiveRain (with your referral URL) and on the other it has your name, picture, and link to your profile (which has your contact information).  Here's what they look like...

So if you are planning to go to NAR (or not for that matter) you can order these referral cards from us.  The catch is that we can't afford the printing costs for all the people that might potentially want these cards, and we don't want people to just waste them.  So we're asking that members who want these cards pay for the printing and we'll pick up the design and distribution costs.  It's a small price to pay to help promote something that's been we've been provided for free.

Here's the printing costs by quantity:

100 Cards: $15

250 Cards: $30

500 Cards: $50

If you want some of these cards, use the contact form on this site or email lydia(at)activerain.com with the number of cards you want and where they should be shipped (or we can bring them to NAR).  We'll provide payment information via paypal or check and may ask for a larger version of your picture, if the one you have on this site isn't suitable.

Update: By the way my wife designed these cards, she's hitting me now for not mentioning her :)  Thanks Lydia

Kristal: If you contact support either via support@activerain.com or the contact form with how many cards you want and a shipping address we will confirm the order and send you payment information.

I'm going to order through email....great idea! Maybe I am mentally challenged (ok so I am what of it!), but I can't find a contact form.  Ordering now anyway.

I noticed the "referral" mistype as well.  This will be changed, or no?

I think this is a great idea, by the way.  What a way to promote the ActiveRain!

Very professional looking... good job, Lydia - and smart thinking!

Will there be enough room on the cards for members with longer usernames?  For example, the Wagners have one that's 21 characters long.  Also, I was thinking how funny it'll look on some cards based on some of the usernames I've seen here on AR!!!  Remember Maureen Francis' mention of "Most memorable account name:  NudiOnTheBeach"?

These could be the baseball cards of the 21st century (I'll trade you a Matt, a Caleb, and 50 points for a Broker Bryant!)  Great idea to spread the word and get us away from our PCs and out talking to people.

Perhaps they could also be incorporated into an electronic version as well? Maybe a nice flash presentation sent by email? Just a thought. -Charles

Just one thought, if someone goes to the non-referral URL you will not get credit for that sign up. Everyone will need to make sure to let people know that they need to use the correct URL when they go to sign up.

I did not receive payment info. 

Just tried to email Lydia but got an error message. Please send me a bill for the cards. I will be happy to just send you a check if you let me know how much and where to send.

Thanks,
