Lightbulb App2Card.com Business cards for your apps

Lost in a sea of apps ? Distinguish yourself in the fierce market of mobile apps with our unique business card.

Our cards have the shape of a mobile app icons displaying your app icon on the front of the card. On the back we show a QR code that leads directly to the app store. That way we make sure people get to the right place and aren't lost searching for your app in the app store. The QR code is generated with a bit.ly address which give access to stats and can come handy when you want some measure on your promotion. Our service is really easy to use. If your app is an iOS app in the app store you simply have to search for it on http://app2card.com to get a preview of your cards.

We also offer custom cards for mobile apps other than iOS. Simply upload your artwork for the front and supply an url for the back and you're good to go.

Our cards are a great way to leave a good impression when promoting an app in conferences or when meeting VCs.

We are also working on some new features that will help app distribution so be sure to follow us on twitter @app2card.

Cool idea! I could see this being very effective to handout at conventions etc. Curious as to the size, is there a reason for the size? Are there other sizes available?

We wanted something that would look like an app deployed on your phone and feel like a token. The size really is the max we can get without quality trade of since we are reusing iTunes artwork (ios creation mode). I guess that with custom mode creation we could now have bigger cards, but we really wanted to stand out. But we have a few other ideas for cards distribution and presentation so stay tuned.

Default nice

Good idea but the size seems a bit tiny. It would be very inconvenient to hold it.

i agree it seems a little small, but it is a good idea.

maybe a spot for a promo code in case you want to give a sample away?

Looks cool but I think it would be much better if it was reg business card size or just height squared off. I love the idea of the code scan but I think it's just too small is all. I still think this is a great idea at the current size but it could be a brilliant idea with some of the changes people have suggested. Also why not use the 512x512 for the artwork if you were to make it bigger?

Nice idea, but too small and too expensive.

This is a cool idea,
But i agree, the cards are too small.
If you think about the price, it is $0.26 per card. You'd need a very good conversion rate, between card distribution and download to make it worthwhile at that price. Might be something fun to have at the office though.

With the recent sales, volume as increased to a point that we can now lower our prices. We also increase the quality of our cards with the introduction of a better gloss finish. Have a look at our blog for more info blog.app2card.com
