A Fresh Form of Communication: The Slam Card

You’ve heard of Email, Texting, and IMing, but what about Slamming? You do it with a Slam Card, a card printed with a phrase that cleverly sums up what you’re thinking but might not normally say. In a society of sound bites, these terse truisms are as timely as they are amusing.

The Slam Card, albeit low-tech, is surely an innovation. Never before have we been able to let our inner voice do the talking in situations when annoying people invade our lives. And those situations abound! At the office, on your commute, in the dating world, at college, or in places like movie theaters, sporting events, the gym – the list goes on.

Slam Cards come in packs of 10 in 6 different Categories including Office Offenders, one of which quips, “I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter”. In Commuter lines a slam card reminds those who insist on grooming in public “It’s called personal hygiene for a reason”. If you’ve wondered how to end the date from hell, try this one from the Dating Deck, “It’s not you. Oh wait, it is you.” And of course there’s the all-purpose category General Scorn which, among other things, allows you to tell fellow movie goers where to go with a simple “Shut the F**k Up!”

Touted as “Handy one-liners, always on hand”, Slam Cards are not meant to be
mean-spirited, on the contrary, they’re actually quite well intentioned. The reverse side encourages the bearer not to take offense, but rather “rethink some of your social skills”.

Two women friends from New York City invented Slam Cards when their own everyday frustrations revealed an unmet need. Laura Mizrahi is an advertising Copywriter and has taken on the marketing role. Diane Fisher, a freelance TV producer, is responsible for the design of both the cards and the website. Together, these working moms have co-authored more than 60 “slams” and already have plans for additional categories as their busy lives provide an endless supply of material.

Will Slam Cards turn out to be the communications breakthrough of the century? Perhaps not, but they are worth checking out for a laugh or for sharing with a friend. No doubt they strike a common chord, which ultimately brings people together. Just like any successful form of communication should.
