Not having a business card is as bad as using an eMail address that ends in AOL.com It's just not professional.
With domain names costing less that 9 bucks a year, there's no excuse for anyone in business to have an AOL.com address. With business cards costing less than 9 bucks at the big box store, there's no excuse for anyone in business not to pass them about.
Here are BIG Mike's 10 Nifty Tips for Better Business Cards
Don't Do It At Home
For what you spend on blank microperf cards and the time to get
it right, you could pay to have them look professional instead of
home baked.
Get your Own Logo
No logo at all looks better than a logo from a clip art book.
Same with cards with bars of color or circles. Your card should
be you, not something from a can.
Put YOU in the Middle
Your name is the most important part of the card put it in the
middle and big enough to see without granny glasses.
Forget the Beeper Number
No need to list cell phones and beeper numbers. If you want a
customer to have them, it is far more impressive for you to hand
write it on the card ("I'm giving you my private cell phone
number...")
Throw 'em Away When ANYTHING Changes
Don't be a cheapskate. Spend the bucks for new cards rather than
penciling in corrections. Be professional.
Keep it Simple
One phone number and one eMail is enough. Be sure to put your
website on the card, too. Some cards work great without a street
address. Do you need it on your card? Why?
Use Both Sides
The back of the card can be used to reinforce your selling
proposition. Think of your card as a little newspaper ad. Use
both sides.
Stick with White
White, glossy, shiny cards say "Business". Pastels and swirls say
"Avon Lady".
Never Leave Home Without One
Always carry a supply of cards. You never know. And keep them
handy in a ready pocket, not tucked away at the bottom of a bag,
so you can present one with a flourish on demand. Keep a backup
stack in the car.
Present It With A FLAIR
Practice offering your card with BOTH hands. It makes a BIG
impact. You goal is to get people to remember you and save your
card. Do that by using both hands.
