The new Moo cards are here! The new Moo cards are here! I’m somebody! (Thanks to those who get the reference.)

I really shouldn’t post this and ruin it for you should you ever order your own Moo cards. But I can’t resist.

I designed and ordered cards for a forthcoming jewelry collection before going out of town for 10 days. The timing was deliberate. The box would be awaiting me when I arrived home, and I could indulge in the singular pleasure of undressing, er, opening the package after a long day’s drive. It’s not unlike the pleasure of opening Apple products. But Moo is more fun, less austere.

Having only ordered the standard matte finish cards before, I wasn’t prepared for the sexiness of the Luxe cards box opening experience. And that’s what they’re creating — an experience — one of delight and care. The devil is absolutely in the details. Sure, everyone is opening the same box, but when you’re opening your box, you feel special. It’s a small price to pay for such delight.

You can deliver delight in many ways, no matter how serious your business or organization. Delight doesn’t have to be silly or fun or sexy. Delight can manifest in many ways, appropriate to your product or service. It can be visual. It can be nurturing. It can be clever. It can cheerlead or handhold. Delight is evidence that someone is thinking about you.

I know! It’s exciting, right?

That rubber seal took my breath away. Oooo la la. It almost looks edible. There’s an idea. A pinot noir-flavored seal.

Ta da! Luxe cards for the uninitiated are double thick with a sliver of color inside. Yum.

You can’t tell from the photo but the fold-over lid has hidden magnets, making for a satisfying clunk when you shut the box. Details, details details.

Did I mention details? No need to count how many cards you have left. They know some of us are lazy.
