Geocacher Was Here

It has been a while since I created any new items on Zazzle. I have been having a bit of a creative block - I wanted to use Zazzle as a way to share my photographs, but I am still struggling with the types of shots and products people might be interested in.

I was talking with a friend of mine about the recent popularity of Geocaching and what Zazzle items might interest these "treasure hunters." He suggested coming up with something that a geocacher could leave behind in a cache. It would have to be something small, since many of these caches don't have a lot of room. I noticed that Zazzle offers a "skinny" sized business card (3" x 1"), and thought that this would be ideal for a personalized geocache calling card or signature card of sorts. Using this item, I designed a number of simple cards using my photographs. These are template cards that allow a geocacher to add their own name and hometown, and perhaps an e-mail address or web URL. A geocache hider could also place these cards in their cache as a souvenir for those who have managed to find it. (Simply click "Customize It!" on the product page, and edit the "This cache was found by" line to say "is owned by" or "was hidden by".)

For those that want to take it a step further, I also designed a template calling card that allows for adding their own photographs on both the front and back of the card. This is ideal for geocachers who have a personal logo, or want to use a photo of themselves or of a landmark from their hometown.

Hopefully there will be some interest in these types of items. If anyone has any suggestions about what I could do to improve upon my geocache calling cards, I'd love to hear them!
