Creative ways to use your business cards

Business cards represent a professional, yet inexpensive way to promote and market your business.

Here are some creative ways to use your business cards:

Keeping Them Handy

  • Always have your cards available (in your car, your pocket, your briefcase, your purse or wallet, your planner, at home – anywhere you can think of)… you never know when you may need them.
  • Give some of your cards to your spouse, family and friends … they may meet someone who might be interested in your   business or service that you offer.

When To Use Them

  • Give them out everywhere! When you meet someone at lunch, a grocery store, gas station, in the library, on the bus, at the park, your Children’s soccer games, neighborhood block party, … everywhere!
  • Give out two cards at a time – one for the prospect or client and one for her/him to give away.
  • Set a goal to give out 5, 10, 15, 20, or more cards every day.

Unique Places To Put Them

  • Place some on the table when you leave a restaurant.
  • Include your business card in correspondence pieces such as letters, invoices, even your monthly bills.
  • Visit bookstores and place them in books related to your business. I call this Gorilla Marketing :-)
  • Post them in gas stations, restrooms, on payphones, ATM machines, and gyms, magazines in waiting rooms, college campuses and grocery store bulletin boards.

The possibilities are unlimited!
