A Guide To Successful Use Of Business Cards
April 25th, 2008
I think this article has some useful tips: http://www.my2live.com/business/a-guide-to-successful-use-of-business-cards/
by Chris Channing
There are a few rules of etiquette to obey when taking advantage of one’s stash of business cards. Certain rules and guidelines can be followed to maximize the use of each business card. And with the prospect of new business, engaging in such tips can equate to more profits and business efficiency.
The most important rule to remember when using business cards as a marketing tool is to keep enough on hand at all times- and certainly don’t forget them at home. If you don’t have a business card when a possible client requests one, this could potentially mean you have just lost a very valuable sale for your business.
Business cards aren’t exactly the cheapest business marketing tool- but they should never be withheld from a customer’s request. If a customer would like more than one copy of a business card- always make good on the deal and give them more than one copy with a smile. Doing so will improve the likelihood that the client will return- and because they took multiple companies, they may also refer friends and family to your service as well.
In the process of exchanging business cards, it is generally considered polite to give the other person’s business card a good looking over. A few seconds glance at the business card shows the other business owner you are interested in having a possible business relationship- as well as shows that you care enough about your business relations as you do your own company.
Above all else, businesses will find that most of their clients will come through the business of previous clients. Clients who have kept onto your business card will often give it to friends or family members who may be in need of your service- given they were satisfied and wish their cohorts to also enjoy a good service you may provide.
As history shows, the best business marketing comes from creativity. If a business owner engages in sending business cards through the mail to customers or even bill collectors, they will notice a slight increase in business as a result. The recipient of the letter or bill collector will likely have friends that could use your service- and the business only continues to expand from there.
Getting creative also works with forming relationships with other businesses. Some of the best profits come from pairing one business with another- and then reaping profits from the conjunction. Forming a relationship such as this can easily come by mailing those who have given you business cards with a thank you note, and make note to include your own business card for contact.
Business cards can be a very important promotional tool for a business- the trick is to use them correctly so your money isn’t waste. Business cards are usually fairly cheap in today’s society- so be sure to get generous and creative with how you hand them out. Doing so can mean the difference between a successful business relationship and missing the sale or relationship of a lifetime.

Why would people want to keep your business card? April 25th, 2008
I really found this article useful: http://www.my2live.com/business/why-would-people-want-to-keep-your-business-card./
For all business people the business card is more that a slip of paper. It is a business persons image that has been built up after years of hard work. For many of the receivers of the small card it is just an advertisement.
With people that get cards all the time, you card is probably not any different to others. Actually they may look at getting your card as a bit of annoyance more litter for their pocket.
As a business owner and entrepreneur you need your business card kept, you need that card to get their attention. You need them to notice and remember your business card.
HOW to get them to keep your Card
First you will need to find out what would make you keep peoples card
1: Lots of people use cards to link to hard to get products, they will never throw away the card of a person or service supplier that they need.
2:Imagine getting handed a card with details of an important person or intermediary, somebody that could help you in the future. (you would never throw the card away.)
3:.Would you keep a card that supplied a product or service that a relative or friend could possibly use now or in the future. (Of coarse)
That’s the beauty of business cards
So keeping the card for non business reason’s is also something that you have to think of when getting your card designed and made.
Unfortunately people see business cards as just a contact card and miss a great marketing opportunity. An opportunity that may never come back .
How to keep your Business Card Kept
It may sound easy but the secret is to supply a business card with information on it that people want to keep. You can do this by using the back of your card or getting a card with extra folds, these give the opportunity to hold more information. If you have information that people need on your card they will not throw it away.
For a building product salesman, he might want to put specs or calcs so that it is more easy to use his products than a competitors.
Many people will suggest lots of alternatives for getting people to keep your card they mostly have to do with putting useful information on it.
But no matter what design you use for your card you must keep in mind some simple rules. Lots of different types of people may see you card so design for a broad market. Make your card easy to read with you contact details clearly visible. Lastly make your card work for you and help you build your business.
