Business Cards Remain The Cheapest “Billboards” Of What You Are Selling

Consider this scenario – you get invited to a very important meeting. You arrive at the venue and to your surprise, you see a lot of chief executive officers of major companies at that meeting. You start to mingle, you drum up conversations and discussions. Then, your statements and opinions start to attract the attention of not only one but two (and even more) CEOs. They then discuss business with you — possible ventures and partnerships. You get excited and you begin to think of all of the advantages that this possibility would mean for your business. However, the CEOs ask for your business card and you have nothing to give. You know very well at that moment that you have lost their interest.

Do you really want that type of scenario to happen to you?

It is but good business sense to present some kind of paper, card or picture to tell the world what you are offering. This is the main function of business cards. As such it must be printed well.

As you go about your challenging task to sell, have your business cards ready for distribution. Considering the element of coincidence a classmate or a friend of some place might come along and a business opportunity is at hand.

The design and text of your business cards should say it all. Prepare your business logo and think of a non-generic font and style for the design. You maximize what the card can accommodate, front and back, but give special thought to the name of the company; what if offers; what are its features and good offerings and focus on some discounts.

Since it is your hope to get as many clients, talk to some would-be-customers as you give out the cards.
