About me and MagniCard: I'm Elliot Josephson, a senior, a retired engineer and an inventor (11 patents). I became interested in
magnifiers in 2004 simply because I needed one to see well enough to pay a restaurant tab. Sensing a business opportunity, I
invented a way of printing photos in full color on wallet-sized magnifier cards, named it MagniCard, and started a second career.
Acceptance: My customers report that their clients just love the MagniCards, wouldn't go anywhere without them, and show them to
all their friends. It's hard to beat that kind of reception to a promotional item. You might think only seniors would be interested. Not so.
Many young eyes can use help with the fine print on maps, medicine labels and food ingredients. Virtually all the oldsters and about
half the youngsters will keep the Magnifier in their wallets, permanently! See TESTIMONIALS.
MagniCard Cost: Unlike business cards, which are printed many to a large sheet and then cut to size, vinyl MagniCards must be
handled one at a time, so the cost is necessarily higher. However, our unique full-color process enables us to print cards in a single
pass with no setup or per color charges, so the cost increase is minimized. Your cost per MagniCard is comparable to that of a medium
quality imprinted pen. A promotional pen will usually find a home in a drawer with many other pens, but a MagniCard is uniquely
destined for a wallet!
Working together: I'll use the information you send me, and I'll compose and print a custom card and email a scan of it to you. If you
want any changes, I'll correct it and email you a new scan. We'll do this as many times as it takes, and then we'll go to press as soon as
you say OK. For layout ideas or questions, please call me at 408-966-9500.
Payment & Shipping: Payment can be made by PayPal or by American Express, Diner's Club, Discover, Mastercard or Visa, but your
card is never charged until you've approved the design and your order is ready to print. Shipment is made by USPS Priority Mail which
usually delivers in 2-3 days. Our target delivery time is one week after ordering.
Privacy: I respect your privacy and will only communicate with you as long as you consider it worthwhile. Just let me know if you have
no further interest. I never sell, rent, or share information. The sample cards you've seen have been through the courtesy of previous
customers. Please tell me if you'd prefer that I don't post your card.
FAQ (Frequently asked questions):
1. Do you print directly on the card or do you use a sticker? Our unique process prints directly on the card.
2. Are your magnifiers available in other sizes, shapes or colors? Not at present. They are all white and credit card sized.
3. Do you supply a case to protect the MagniCard? We have cases at nominal extra cost but do not recommend their use. The
combination of MagniCard plus case is too large to fit in a standard wallet compartment. Also, the magnifier is quite scratch resistant
and the print cannot be scratched off with a fingernail, so a case is just additional cost.
4. Can the cards be printed on the back? No, they are single sided only.
5. Can you print in the narrow strip above the magnifier? No, registration variations make it impossible.
6. Do you carry lighted cards? No, because:
a. They are very much more expensive than MagniCards. We would have to charge $3-4 apiece in quantity of 200.
b. They are thick and do not fit well into a wallet.
c. The batteries are not replaceable, have a questionable lifespan and sometimes are dead on arrival. Ultimately, your customer
would have a card with a dead battery and your name on it.
7. Can we combine orders for better pricing? Yes, as long as the order is under one name, paid for on one credit card and shipped in
one box to one address. e.g. If 5 colleagues want to order 200 cards each, we will design 5 separate cards, and each will
receive the 1000 piece pricing.
8. Will you accept a company check in payment? Yes, but it delays your order. We will only start when your check clears.
9. Can I design my own artwork? Yes, the dimensions are 2.9" X 0.75" and jpg or pdf formats are preferred.
Many thanks for your interest,
Elliot
