Marketing
You can out just about anything on a business card these days including social media profiles, QR codes, websites ect.. They are excellent marketing vehicles for your business, especially if you go to as many events that I do.
Foll
ow up
When giving out business cards of course I will get some in return. I usually have a box at home I put them in for keeping. But when I get a business card from someone I usually write a few impactful notes about the person on the back, this will help me remember what I was talking to them about for later follow up.
Build a Contact Database
When I get home after an event, and before I put my cards in the box, I snap shots of them using CamCard for my android phone. It puts it right into my phone’s contacts and then syncs back to my gmail. This is huge for building a contact database which is
great for future business.
There are a lot of places to go to buy business cards online and in person. Just make sure you don’t skimp on quality to save some cash. These cards are a direct reflection of you and how much you care about your business. Make sure you buy the best and most creative cards that you can!
