When we go out and network with others, one thing we'd do will be to present them with our business cards. Swapping business cards is a great way to sell your self or perhaps your business. But it's sad when I notice so many people put such little thought on their own cards. It's a way for you to leave a great long lasting impression if you have a creative and brilliant business card.
So now here I will share 5 tips which will make your business cards stick out amongst others:
1. Use both sides of your business cards
I do not really know the reason why majority of the business cards I've gotten don't fully utilize both sides. Indeed it may cost more if you print each side but it will certainly help when you include more details about your organization in this area. You could leave a little space for other people to jot notes though.
2. Convey a portrait photo of your self
This is a no brainer, most people receive lots of business cards everyday, take it from somebody that network a lot. It is rather easy to forget the faces of the people you encountered. Adding a photo will certainly allow people to recognize you immediately.
3. State the things you do
It amazes me whenever I receive a business card where there's no mention about exactly what the organization does and what you do in the corporation (position). I mean if you are employed by large well-known company, then I can probably understand that there's no need to state exactly what the corporation does, but when you own your own business then it is always best if you include a brief introduction about what your business is about.
4. Use an unusual shape or size business card
Standard size for the business cards in the US is 3.5 inches x 2 inches. One of the simplest ways to get your card stand out amongst others is by using a bigger or reduced size than the ordinary business cards.
