The ‘Lush’ card is very inventive and also involves the recipient. Promoting lawn & property enhancement the card is actually a pack of seeds printed on recycled material. A message on the back reads, ‘For best results, spread seeds then add Lush.’ Making the card have a purpose and useful not only makes the recipient feel they have gained something it also makes it memorable and therefore more likely to gain contacts from.

We also think the simple colour chart idea for a painters business card is very effective and instantly grabs attention.
The neon yellow laser cut card also caught our eye- it is unusual and certainly stands out! Have an engraved laser cut piece of perspex makes your business card have a feel of value and durability- therefore making it more likely to be kept rather than thrown away or lost. Laser cut items are a big trend at the moment, so this is one to look out for in the future.

We also like the Bombay Bakery’s business cards which are actually printed on biscuits! Yum- although they may not be around for too long!

Finally we love the custom typography stamp printed with black and metallic inks onto brown paper- a simple technic that gives a wonderful handcrafted finish that you don’t see too often now.

Take a look now by visiting www.tescofindtheeggs.com and enter your postcode. You’ll then be presented with a Google Street View page which has thousands of virtual eggs hidden in various places.

To encourage users to take part Tesco has a prize of free MaltEaster bunnies for all users who find 3 eggs, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2S is the star prize for those who find a special golden egg.

Cleverly in order to take part you must first like the facebook page, which already stands at 54,000 likes. The game will then begin and you can begin searching for eggs.

Jude Brooks, head of social communities and insight at Tesco, said: “The Easter egg hunt is a much loved tradition and this year we’re excited to be giving it a digital twist. We hope that people from across the country get online and search for the virtual eggs hidden on their street and even hide some for their friends.”

The campaign is likely to appeal to children and adults alike and cleverly integrates social media and sharing to engage the user. It also makes a personal experience for each user, using their location via the Google map.

The campaign is set to expand this week with a TV ad as well to get the UK talking about #FindTheEggs.

See if you can find any eggs for yourself….
