How to Keep Your Business Cards from Being Tomorrow’s Trash

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Knowing why people decide to keep business cards instead of throwing them away can give you a big advantage when designing your business cards. Here are the top 6 reasons why people keep business cards:

1. To remember their colleagues. This is generally the reason people keep business cards from trade shows or other industry events. They want to remember you in case they need you for later or if they want to consider you as a future possible business partner.

2. For a potential resource or supplier connection. If you run a dry-cleaning business, and you hand out your business card to someone in leather goods, that person will probably keep your card because you know how to clean leather. Or maybe you use suppliers that the leather-maker could use.

3. For social reasons. Mainly, if someone is attracted to you, they’ll keep your card for a later date. And I do mean date!

4. To help out a family member or friend. Many people may not need your product or service, but have a family member or friend who could use your service. It’s a good idea to hand out a few full color business cards at a time, and casually mention “In case your family or friends need my service…” Oftentimes this will jog someone’s memory of a family member saying that they needed a product or service like yours.

5. To know their competition. Competitors need to know as much as they can about each other, so someone you may not even know is your competitor (or works for your competitor, or has a family member that works for your competitor) will take your card. You can find out a lot about your competition through their Web site, brochures, flyers and other marketing materials, but it’s tough to get your hand on something more personal like a business card.

6. Your card has an interesting design, or has some useful information on it. Some people keep business cards just because they think it looks cool and they like design! If your print business cards are attractive and also have some useful information on it, like emergency phone numbers, you have a greater chance of someone keeping it. This is a great reason to use the back of your card for useful information, like a list of your services or benefits, a yearly or six-month calendar or as previously mentioned local emergency phone numbers.

Exchanging Business Cards: Do’s and Dont’s of Business Introductions

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Exchanging business cards can be a smooth transaction, or it could be an awkward situation. Use this guide to plan ahead so that you are ready when someone asks for your business card.

Do be prepared

Always have a handful with you to present to potential clients or other business associates, even on the weekends. You’ll find that many important contacts and business card exchanges can take place in the most unlikely places.

Don’t hand out torn or worn business cards

Make sure they are clean and crisp with no frayed edges or pen marks. The best method of keeping your cards in neat form is a business card case. With designs ranging from techie to artsy to formal, you are bound to find one that fits your style and personality.

Do make it a point to hand out business cards

It doesn’t take a large convention to bring customers and business owners together. Informal meetings are one of the best times to network and exchange business cards. If the person you are speaking with seems interested in your product or service you represent, offer that person a business card.

Do receive a business card properly

When accepting a business card, have a good look at it for a few seconds. In your conversation, offer a compliment about the logo, design, etc.

Don’t hand out more than one card to a new contact

Only give one business card to your new contact. Leaving two or three may give the signal that you want them to make contacts for you which are tacky and unprofessional. Unless a prior agreement is made to exchange more than one card, keep the focus on person-to-person contact.

Do exchange business cards smoothly

When you first meet someone, it’s ok to request a business card from them. However, if the person is of a higher position than yourself, you should wait for them to offer their card to you first. Remember if they want you to have a card, they will give you one!

Don’t place it in a bag, pocket or wallet

Place the card you receive in a planner, notebook or business card case. Never place the card in a wallet that will be put in your back pocket. Doing so shows disrespect and an all around lack of organization on your part.

Do take advantage of free advertising

Local restaurants often hang a bulletin board near the front counter for business cards to be posted. You can also place your business card in the collection cups for drawings or mixers. They’re offering you free advertising, so be ready to take advantage.

Poster (1)

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

A poster is any piece of printed paper designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically posters include both textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or wholly textual. Posters are designed to be both eye-catching and convey information. Posters may be used for many purposes, and they are a frequent tool of advertisers (particularly of events, musicians and films), propagandists, protestors and other groups trying to communicate a message. Posters are also used for reproductions of artwork, particularly famous works, and are generally low-cost compared to original artwork. Another type of poster is educational posters, which may be about a particular subject for educational purposes. Many people also collect posters, and some famous posters have themselves become quite valuable, collectors and vintage posters are usually framed and matted. Posters may be any size.
