One of the most powerful, yet ignored weapon in your marketing arsenal is your business card. Exchanging business cards with potential clients is, in fact, the most personal form of marketing. In this “tech-savvy” world, business cards are still essential for modern-day businesses. There are many advantages of swapping business cards when compared to simply exchanging numbers. For starters, it is quite embarrassing and unprofessional when a client hands you their card and you have nothing in return for them. Rather than just being a contact in someone’s phone, a business card allows you to brand yourself. By presenting a client with a business card, you contain the ability of promoting yourself by means of text and visual cues. Production and printing costs of business cards are low and the benefits are high; as they make a statement in the business world.

When done properly, a business card should convey both you and your company’s dominance. The color, content, design, typography, paper, as well as the size of a business card, will act as clear signals to a potential client about who you are and what you stand for. When creating a business card it is equally important to convey an important message, as well as have your card stand out amongst all the other cards.
