So how important is your business card? Very important. What about what you put on your business card. Thought about it?. Yes I know your probably thinking the typical business name,your name,email,phone number,web address (maybe) fax.

Business cards are convenient and they are easy to get and use. There are several online vendors one being Vista Print.You can Google business cards, tons of companies come up. But check your local printer as well.

I found recently that my local printer is willing to deal to stay competitive with online sources and often times will offer additional benefits. So if you still don't have your personal business card it's high time to get it!


Your business card is also an extension of you and your business. Your business card along with meeting you for the first time is the first impression you make on a potential customer /client. So, it is imperative that you have a distinctive and unique business card.

What brought me to write about this today is this. I was at an event recently and I received an enormous of business cards. Now don't get me wrong there were some that were  extremely professional and beautifully done cards. But  out of all of them I could only identify three of whom I received them from.

Why? They had their photograph on the front or back. Now I don't know about you but when you meet that many people and you shake hands have some words and move on, you have about enough time to write on the card (if your lucky) something to move your memory. I did receive some without photos that were exceptional and did stand out in my mind, but few at best.

What am I saying here? A picture is worth a thousand words. So a couple of things, Design matters and to insure that your card does not to get lost among hundreds of others handed out, make sure it has a distinctive and impressive design and *Your* photo.

Doesn't even have to be very a big photo. By doing so you are sure to leave a professional and memorable impression with every potential customer/connection you meet.


 The more  transparent and clear your information which is conveniently located on your business card the more people are attracted to you. If you go to an event and you are  still trying to figure out *what* your business is going to be? That's ok, just make sure you have a card that provides a way for people to stay in touch with you with the basic information.

 So, try it the next time you place your card order, believe me a picture is worth a thousand………….did I say words.
