Gang, Jeff and I were discussing a while back when the site first started ways to promote it and we came up with this one: ORM Business Cards. The thought is that we could carry them to model shows and place them beside models we liked or photographed. It would help make the builder (and anyone else that happens to see it) aware of the site. I have build two sets; one in color and one in black and white. They are built 10-up meaning there are ten to a page. And I have put a thin gray line around each card to make cutting them out easier. Click here to download: www.magazinepublisher.com/models/ormbcards.pdfwww.magazinepublisher.com/models/ormbcardsbw.pdfKeep in mind, the files are very large for some reason (funky font I guess) so do not worry if it takes a while to download.

the cards are a cool idea. the first time i really remember seeing them at shows was when Bob Black and members of the TRaK site began to use them at shows to go along with thier models on display as a way to advertise the site, reach out to others and find each other! i've been a member there for a long time and get together with fellow TRaK friends at the NNL East show every year. i don't know of any other niche model website that does that, but it could work for this one too.
something else as an idea if there are any members here with access to an Alps printer. some decals made like contingencies or maybe even bigger could be a cool way to show your pride in the website and get others interested. windshield banners could be cool too, but i think decals made using the website logo would be the best.

Hey all. One more idea. Joe at www.diecastanddecals.com/ can make anything you want, any size. He recently made me some "Big Ed's 4x4 Center" for the builds. Any font you want and he's very reasonable. He'll make you 1 decal if you want. I recently got the OK from TrucksGoneWild to have their logo replicated for our trucks. I'll contact Joe for them. You think an Off Road Models (in any configuration) would look cool on the bottom of a front fender? Or the rear of a quarter panel? Nothing BIG, but small enough to make you wanna look. P.S. Duh, the cards look great John. I'm partial to the color. Plus, if you sent Joe a pic of what you want, he'll make it exactly as it is on the card.

I might have jumped the gun with the decal thing. Not sure how many would really want to put decals on their builds.

i don't think you jumped the gun Ed, i had pretty much the same idea! Dave Agreed! Like trailbound (Mike) said in the "gear" thread, decals specific to our trucks & 4x4s would really finish them off properly...Warn, KC, Interco, Advanced Adapters & many more would be neat decals for our rigs, along with our site's logo!

I really love the decal idea! I have to run out decals soon. I will fill the extra space with ORM decals.
I have a square version of the logo. Don't know if I will have room for windshield decals but will try. John

I think the ORM logo above is killer just as it is. And this is just a couple of what Joe made for me...
