Great Business Cards and Business Card Ideas
You Need a Better Business Card...
I'm making this page about business cards for two basic reasons.
1. Gazillions of people have business cards, and
2. Most of them could be a whole lot more effective!
So what's the problem? Well, ideally the purpose of a business card is to generate BUSINESS. Here's the thing. Most business cards don't have the power to convert a prospect into a CUSTOMER!
All they have is contact information on them. Big mistake.
You can only imagine what happens when your business card becomes impossible to ignore and gains the ability to INFLUENCE your prospects.

The Key to an Effective Business Card
It's time to think about your business cards in a whole new light.
It's time to realize, "hey if my business card is impossible to ignore... it's going to make me more money!"
The problem most business owners make is that they treat their business card like a "contact card" rather than a marketing tool! BIG MISTAKE. The truth is effective business cards work just like a little ad. So whether by design, or shape, or content your business card needs to stand out and take the first step toward generating a new client.
That could mean using your business card as a referral tool. Or using the back of the card to offer a free report, or recipe, or coupon (depending on your industry of course). Or making the design so unique and compelling that people are compelled to share it, making it go viral. Yes, it really does happen!
Stop thinking of your business card as a place to list contact details. Start thinking of it as a mini billboard or advertisement that makes you memorable and paves the way toward a sale!

If you take away just ONE thing:
Make your business cards engaging!
The worst kind of business card is the one that's too dull to make an impression. Contact information alone will never make an impression on people. And it won't make the phone ring. So whether by design, material, content, or even gimmick, make sure your business card is engaging enough that people are drawn to it, or encouraged to share it with others.
