Ok so you say you were able to create an attractive,
stunning and memorable business card. The big problem now is
what will you do with it and how will you make it work for
you?
Business cards are one of the most valuable and cost effective
marketing tools for your business. You must get them to
circulate within the communities though to get them to
work.
Hiding them in the box in your drawer would do your business
no good. You need to get them into the hands and wallets of
your potential customers. Always keep in mind though that your
business card is like a commercial ad for your business so you
really need people to see it in order for it to be workable.
How can you possibly do this I can hear you ask?

Ok so you say you were able to create an
attractive, stunning and memorable business card. The big
problem now is what will you do with it and how will you make
it work for you?
Business cards are one of the most valuable and cost effective
marketing tools for your business. You must get them to
circulate within the communities though to get them to work.
Hiding them in the box in your drawer would do your business no
good. You need to get them into the hands and wallets of your
potential customers.
Always keep in mind though that your business
card is like a commercial ad for your business so you really
need people to see it in order for it to be workable. How can
you possibly do this I can hear you ask?
Well first off, you need to always keep
them in your purse, pocket, wallet or briefcase or at the
reception area of your office or any other easy accessible
place. It is important that you have them on hand so that when
you need them you can easily grab one to hand to a potential
customer whilst you introduce yourself to them.
Secondly, you can always place the
cards in libraries, supermarkets, local restaurants or bulletin
boards or any other place that takes your fancy. Whenever there
is an opportunity for you to post or leave your card ask if
need be then go for it. You never know somebody important might
see it and contact you or even pass your information onto
others to use your services.
Third, Always include your business
card in all your correspondence even emails if you can scan it
into your computer system. If you ship products you can include
a card in every package. You can also include your contact
information in your email signature. It serves as an electronic
business card.
Fourth, keep you cards in a nice strong
holder so they won’t get bent or wet. Storing your cards in a
stylish case creates a better presentation, which should draw
the looker’s eyes to your card. If you are also exchanging
cards with people always treat them well as you never know how
much business they can generate for you.
Fifth, Always give people a reason to
keep hold of your card. Make it a need not just something to
clutter there wallet, desk etc. You can print something unique
and different at the back such as a calendar, list of important
events or anything relevant to your business.
Lastly, but most
importantly use the business card to introduce yourself. But at
the same time don’t be too pushy. Make sure that the time is
appropriate when you hand them such as when first chatting and
then you may also have a opportunity at the end of the
conversation with giving them a card to keep in touch. You also
can ask first for the other person’s business card. This way
they should also ask you for your card in return.
Your Business cards can do more than just give your contact
information. They are marketing materials to help you bring in
more business. So, don’t just leave them to sit in a box
collecting dust they cant work for you from a hidden spot. They
are inexpensive enough to print by the thousands, so hand them
out so they can serve their purpose and prosper
