Free Stickers from MOO

I was once very excited about stickers, because they were free.

This post is a part of my blog paleontology series. I dug up and restored this post on 2025-08-11.

I think I was mostly just experimenting with content format at this point. Seeing what sticks. The wording in that update at the end though, Yeesh. Careful not to drink too much of the startup coolaid.

A nice little surprise popped up in my RSS feeds today. BoingBoing has a coupon code BOINGSTICK for some free* stickers, labels or sticker-books from MOO Cards. Now some people complain that this is just a gimmick from Moo Cards to send out emails, but considering the fact that I have already bought business cards from them before and I'm wise enough to turn off emails from them, its not really a problem.

I did manage to snag 52 free* Aperture Science themed stickers. Seems like win win to me.

*Yes free. Not even shipping and handling.

Update

I just received a message from the Little Moo Print Robot. There was such a large demand for stickers that they're going to be up to a week late. Oh and they gave me a 20% off coupon code. Moo was able to turn a potential problem into a sales acquisition opportunity. I'm in the need for new cards anyways so its just another win win.
