How to Tell if Your Business Card Isn’t Cutting It
Overview
Your business card should leave a lasting impression, helping the receiver remember you and your company positively. If it’s not doing that, it might be time for a change.
Why Your Business Card Might Be Failing
People Keep Cards with Value
A successful business card offers something valuable, whether it's useful information or an intriguing product or service. It doesn't need to be the fanciest card; if it gets kept for legitimate reasons, it’s doing its job.
However, most cards end up in the trash almost immediately. Research suggests that over 90% of business cards are discarded the same day they’re handed out, with less than 1% retained for more than a month. Sure, some might digitize the information, but often, they’re tossed because they hold no real value.
Unease When Handing Out Cards
Many business professionals show signs of discomfort when giving out their business cards. Imagine a scenario where you’re engaged in a promising conversation with a potential client. The moment arrives to hand over your card?"and suddenly, you hesitate. You might mutter, “Well, here’s my card,” with uncertainty.
This reluctance often stems from a fear that your card isn’t impressive or that it doesn’t match up to the competition’s. If your card leaves you feeling self-conscious rather than confident, it’s time to consider a revamp.
Identifying a Poor Business Card
If you hesitate to share your business card, worried it might not be well-received, your concerns might be valid. There are various red flags to consider:
1. Overcrowded Design: A cluttered card can overwhelm and confuse the recipient.
2. Lack of Clarity: Does your card clearly convey your product or service? If not, it needs improvement.
3. Unused Space: The backside of your card is prime real estate. If it’s blank, you’re missing an opportunity to provide additional information or a call to action.
Ultimately, if your card isn’t remembered or utilized by those who receive it, it’s not serving its purpose.
Conclusion
Take a moment to evaluate your current business card. Is it effectively representing you and your brand? If you find yourself hesitant or receiving little feedback, it might be time to give your business card a thoughtful redesign.
