Enhance the Impact of Your Business Card
Summary:
Over the years, I've gathered thousands of business cards, yet most fail to leave a lasting impression. Shouldn't a business card clearly reflect who you are and what your business offers?

Article Body:
Throughout my life, I’ve amassed countless business cards. Yet, when I sift through them, I often struggle to recall the person or company they belong to. Isn’t a business card supposed to clearly represent who you are and what your business does?
A business card is often the first piece of marketing material you present. It should include essential details like your name, address, email, and phone number. However, most cards lack adequate information and are poorly designed.
How can we improve the traditional business card? Here are some innovative suggestions for the back:
1. Directions: Include a mini map for hard-to-find locations.
2. Menus: If applicable, feature a mini menu showcasing top sellers, following the 80/20 rule.
3. Testimonials: Add a brief customer testimonial.
4. Discounts: Offer a discount when the card is presented at a retail outlet.
Additionally, consider printing:
- Where we met...
- Date...
- Purpose...
- Discussion topics...
- Referrals...
Front Design Tips:
1. Include a Photo: A picture helps ensure people remember you.
2. Use Full-Color Printing: This makes your card stand out.
3. Professional Design: Hire a designer for a polished look.
I strongly advocate for including a photograph on business cards, as they’re now cost-effective to produce in full color. A picture guarantees you'll be remembered.
Your business card is often the first impression you make, paving the way for future interactions. While they won’t close deals, they should convey the right impression of who you are and your business's purpose. Use full-color printing to avoid the mundane black-and-white look.
Avoid laminated cards, as people often jot notes on the back, which isn’t possible with lamination.
Finally, ensure durability by opting for a thicker card. If a cheaper option is $90 for 1,000 cards, and a higher-quality version is $150 for the same quantity, choose quality. If you distribute only 200 a year, aim to give away 1,000 in the coming year.
Consider how many cards you’ve received that made you immediately dismiss doing business with someone. These are likely plain black-and-white on flimsy paper, lacking clear business information.
Many underestimate a business card's potential value. Given the low cost, make yours more effective. Stand out, so contacts remember you and feel compelled to reach out.
