Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Drop Card" or "Sizzle Card"?
A drop card is typically a business card with just enough information on it to capture the viewers attention and peak their curiosity. Drop cards are generally not handed from person to person as would a typical business card. They are intended to be left behind somewhere in a busy public area to be noticed by a passerby in hopes of generating enough interest to act on the message left on the card. Sizzle cards are sometimes synonymous with drop cards but are more likely to be handed off personally from one person to another during or immediately following a business related conversation. However, the brief attention grabbing content is usually the same as would be a drop card. Sizzle cards can also be used as drop cards interchangeably. The essence of a sizzle card is that the message should be so compelling and "so hot that it sizzles!"
Are these legal or considered counterfeit?
These drop cards are quite legal. There are very strict guidelines set forth by the US Government as to what is considered counterfeiting. We've done all the necessary research to protect ourselves as well as you. The only thing we cannot do is look over your shoulder and remind you NOT to try and spend these anywhere... even jokingly... don't do it! An attempt to pass these off to any merchant as legal tender would be considered a federal offense and you will most certainly be arrested.
While we're on the subject; please also do not leave these on a restaurant table "as your tip." It really irritates your waiter/waitress and is just downright mean. However, it is far more acceptable to leave one WITH your real cash tip and you'll likely be able to eat there safely again in the future ;).
Why can't I order quantities less than 1000?
There are set up costs involved in printing that make a 1000 minimum order the low threshold of what becomes profitable for our company. So we've established that as our starting minimum.
Can I split that 1000 into two 500s? That will still meet the 1000 minimum, right?
Unfortunately, what you would be creating is two individual orders of 500 which would require two different layouts and set ups. Realistically, yes, we can do whatever quantity we choose. However, as we would have to incur additional costs, we would have to pass those costs on to you and it may not be as cost effective for you. Feel free to inquire by email to talk about your individual project. Otherwise, the 1000 quantity is standard and if used effectively you'll go through them in no time.
Are the dollar cards already folded or do I have to fold them myself?
As much as we'd like to make things as easy for you as possible, we are unable to fold these dollar bill business cards for you. In an effort to make the cards appear as realistic as possible to make them the most effective, they are cut to a size that is too small to be placed into the automated folding machine. We could fold each of them manually for you. However, a $235,000.00 surcharge would apply;)
Honestly, please don't let folding be a concerning factor for you. It is really painless (well, except for the occasional paper cut... noooo... not really!) and not very time consuming. I've folded hundreds for our own purposes and have done so while chatting at our dining room table, or sitting in front of the Sunday game. You'd be surprised how quickly you can go through a couple hundred at a time!
How soon will I receive my cards after my order is placed?
Upon approval of your proof image, we typically print and ship inside of 72 hours. We ship via U.S.P.S. Priority Mail services and depending on your location, you will receive your order within 3 days of the ship date. You may expedite your order if you wish, simply by asking for same day rush processing and overnight shipping. We do not charge extra for the expedited processing, but will charge for shipping costs only. That charge will vary depending on your location. Please call for arrangements. Our toll free number is on our "Contact Us" page.
What is your return policy?
Because these are customized printed products, we cannot offer payment returns on any order unless we have created some mistake that deviated from the proof image that you approved, OR you have changed your mind on the order any time prior to printing.
We send proof images to every customer prior to printing for the sole purpose of your satisfaction. We will not print any order without your approval of a final proof image. Once the proof is approved and sent to print, we can no longer issue a refund.
In any case where you simply change your mind prior to printing, we will issue a refund minus $25 for any layout and set up costs incurred by us. We will email you a proof image upon request if one has not already been sent.
