Pretty Please Vote for J-Dig Cards

We are getting Crushed in a contest. This isn't the butterfly or orange variety of Crush, this is an embarrassing kind.



J-Dig Cards entered the Intuit Small Business United Grant Competition. We were named finalists, but to be named the winner and claim the grand prize, we need your help!! Our vote total is close to 400...the leader has approximately 5 times that at roughly 2000. Embarrassed? So are we.


To vote, click on the following link:
http://community.intuit.com/contests/cwJyAcE0Kqllvkab8P4pmk.

Watch the video. Laugh (optional). Then click on the word "Inspiring" to the right of the video. This will prompt you to log in or to register bycreating a new account (annoying we know, but it only takes a minute and they don't spam you). You can vote for us in each of the three categories by also clicking the words "Useful" and "Funny." It will say thanks for your vote after each so you know you've done it right. Thanks for your support and feel free to pass along to anyone you think would vote for us!!

Thank You.

P.S. - If you've seen this voting request before and have voted, disregard. If you've seen this voting request before and have not voted, feel ashamed for a moment, and then vote. If you have never seen this voting request, vote now.

A week ago yesterday, J-Dig Cards won a Louie, beating the MoMA and a Vera Wang design for William Arthur.

We thought some graphical comparisons might help to illustrate the enormity of our victory.

[Side note: At the publisher's discretion, Vera Wang and William Arthur were both used for these graphs, even though the card was technically a William Arthur product. J-Dig Cards suspected brand contribution from both entities.]


Search parameters to minimize unwanted results:
"Vera Wang" added to "William Arthur"
"J-Dig Cards"





MoMA employees as of 1995* according to Hoovers.com.
Vera Wang employees added to William Arthur employees.
(*Editor would like to apologize for blatant laziness given the outdated employee figure for MoMA.)



MoMA's age denotes museum's opening.
Vera Wang's human age was added to the company age of William Arthur.



Louie awarded on May 18th, 2009 was for the 2008 calendar year.

Wishing human relations could be more harmonious...

This made more sense around Halloween time.


OBGY-NFL.





*The entire J-Dig contingency unquestioningly thought that the phrase above was 100% original...UNTIL our research analyst quickly discovered that it is a direct quote from Weird Al Yankovic's 2003 album Poodle Hat. Our unintentional theft came off Track #6 "Wanna B Ur Lovr". Being inspired by Weird Al does not yield a very desirable feeling, but we are coping.
