Seventeen Things To Do With Your Business Card
You can get a lot more mileage out of your business card than simply passing it out at networking meetings. Here's a list of suggestions collected
from business owners. You can add your own suggestion at the end of the list!
- enclose one in the envelope when paying bills
- leave one on restaurant tables along with the tip
- include one when sending a note card to business associates
- offer yours whenever someone offers theirs to you
- when giving a referral, write it on the back of your business card and hand it to the person.
Be sure to put a small arrow on the front so they don't accidently give your card away.
- ask a friend going to an annual convention to take a small supply of your cards to hand out if they meet potential clients who could use your services
- laminate it and wear it as a name badge when attending events where others may be wearing company badges
- laminate it and make it into luggage tags (much safer than tags that tell thieves your home address)
- trade a small supply of cards with a trusted colleague offering a complimentary service who agrees to give your card out to potential clients they meet during their day. Reciprocate the favor.
- tuck one inside presentation folders
- attach one to all outgoing correspondance
- when someone asks for your card, hand them two: one to keep and one to share
- jot your question or comment on the back and hand one to the speaker as you leave a meeting, workshop or program (place a small arrow on the front to alert them)
- arrange with a professional offering complimentary services to leave a business card holder and small supply of your cards in their waiting room or on their reception countertop
- attach a magnetic strip on the back (available at office supply stores) and give as premiums at trade shows, workshops, etc.
- put a border around it and run it "as is" as an advertisement in the community newspaper.
- have it enclosed in plexiglass and use it as a paperweight
- give one to everyone you meet as you go through your day--have a goal of giving away 10-15 each day
