By Ben Preston
If you want to use good business etiquette and good marketing
then you need to start handing out more of your business cards.
This is a very important tip that will help you to conduct your
business in a much more professional and efficient manner.
There is nothing easier or more profitable than using business
cards in your marketing strategy.
Your business card is an extension of yourself and if you want to
be able to market yourself the right way your card needs to
represent you the right way. This means that it needs to make
an impression, a good one. Your business cards should look
professional but still have a flair to them. That means not having
too much going on as far as graphics while still being attractive.
Once you have had the business cards designed and printed,
how do you go about handing them out? And who should you
give them to?
You should give your business cards to everyone but don't stop
there. Get cards in return as well, these are going to prove to
be much more useful to you than anything else. Once you have
other people's cards in hand you can begin to network.
Networking with business cards is key to your successful
marketing. With a few cards you will be able to get your name
and your company info out to tons of people and every card that
you collect can be developed into a solid contact in any industry.
Here are some tips to help you make the most our of your
business card marketing:
Only choose the best paper for your business cards.
Thicker heavier paper is better as it look more expensive and
professional.
Do not design your own card
Unless of course, you are actually a graphic designer, leave this
job to the pros. They know how to make a statement and an
impact with graphics.
Take plenty of business cards with you
When you are going out on the town or to any kind of business
function take plenty of business cards with you. You need to
always have enough of them on hand when you are going out
of town for business as well. You may need to take a couple of
hundred, depending on how many associates will be there and
how long you are going for.
Talk to people
When someone hands you their business card talk to them, and
try to find out as much as you can in a short amount of time.
Remember what you learn and use it at a later date.
If you are traveling abroad
If you are going abroad for business to a country where your
language is not he first language then you should consider
having some business cards made up for that country. All you
have to do is have the back printed in this other language, this
way those you give your card to will still be able to understand
what it is saying. If they can't read it, what was the point of
giving it to them? Marketing comes in all different forms and this
is a great way to market yourself abroad using your business
cards.
Business cards can be a powerful marketing tool and the sooner
that you realize that the sooner your business is going to really
take off.
