Business Cards Sharing Tips

Your business card is a representation of not just your business, but also of you as well. Therefore, how you share your business cards is important. Using them wisely could mean great things; using them unwisely can actually harm your business. Use best promotional notepads and custom printing services for your business cards.

Here are three tips for sharing business cards in a way that generates positive results:

1. Be Selective. Do not try to hand out business cards to anyone and everyone. People who are not immediately in need of your products or services will find it rude and pushy if you shove a card at them. Only share your cards when someone expresses an interest in what you do.

2. Keep Them Clean. Do not write notes on your cards or correct information by crossing out and over-writing; both practices are viewed as terribly unprofessional. Instead, keep your business cards clean and crisp at all times.

3. Avoid the Sales Pitch. When you do share a business card, keep your verbal remarks brief. Launching into a sales pitch will only put your potential new customer on edge, making your card a negative thing. Instead, be polite and smile. Offer just a few words about yourself and your business.

Making the Most Out of Your Printed Notepads

Printed notepads can seem pretty ordinary. But did you know that a simple notepad with your company name and address on it can be a powerful marketing tool? Best of all, printed notepads are cost-effective. For a small investment, you can create something that can be handed directly to your customers, something they will appreciate, use, and remember you by.

To make the most of your printed notepads:

1. be sure the printed information includes up-to-date contact information
2. give one to every new customer you interact with
3. leave a stack in your reception area along with a ‘take one’ sign
4. make sure your sales staff always have a good supply on hand
5. carry a few when you are not in the office, just in case

The goal here is to use your printed notepads as a reminder of your business to current customers, and an invitation to others to become customers. Think of it as a business card the keeps working with every note jotted down. The more often your customers are exposed to your name and logo, the more likely they are to contact you when they are in need of your services.
