Have You Got a Business Card?
Posted on August 24th, 2009 in business | 3 Comments »
If you go to meetings, seminars, visits, attend conferences and educational programs can help you meet people. You get chatting and find people you can ask for a card.
This is your first chance to clear information about who you are and what you are doing it.
We all pick up business cards, without necessarily see much time on a person to us. How can we remember one weeks later, as Gill Express service blogs do?
If your business card to say the name of your company and your name with a little imagination, you can work to lose money with printed cards – and this time of austerity budgets, cash flow and still firmly that it is not good news.
So what should go on the map?
Certainly your brand – and ideally it should be memorable. This is your logo and choice of fonts you use. It should be noted, but not overwhelming. Your brand must be clean and sharp, even if you do not have logo as such must be the name of your company is consistently presented in a way that the same font on everything (business cards, letterhead, websites, leaflets, etc.). The letters have the same color tone and shadow in the background the same color – ir use of graphics, he or she should be able to your pantone references for each color you use.
If you have a motto, which is even better. It helps people understand what makes your business.
For example:
Your name should be clear and larger than anything else (except the logo). It must be large enough so that people can easily read – even without my reading glasses. If you did not catch your name properly treated they can quickly look and make sure it. We all did – not quite get the name of someone – and it is embarrassing if you do wrong, or ask.
Insert the name you want to call – for example, put Gillian Bloggs, if you want to be called Gill and Robert Fisher, as everyone is calling you Bob.
If you have letters after your name very carefully if it helps people decide to call you back. If not, leave the ego trip. If you feel that your skills to help people decide that they can provide better service, then by all means add. Insert a string of qualifications, to hold (or maximum two) relevant evidence.
It is not essential to his title, but it could be useful, especially in larger organizations where there may be many people and institutions, and it helps that one of your friends find out. If you’re a small company or individual organizations, it is probably not important to let people know that you are the boss!
Cell phone – the font large enough to read it without a magnifying glass! If anyone has contact with them should be able to easily do that. You do not miss a fantastic introduction or referral because it is not a number. Enter the fixed line and mobile number.
Professional e-mail address. That does not mean, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail or any other solution to this type. If you want people to take seriously, your web designer to ensure that your e-mail address of the web addresses that mirror.
Snail mail address – current e-mail address. This is recommended but not essential. It does not matter if it’s in a smaller size, but not so small that a microscope is required!
If you do not really need the fax number on the map. Few people use fax these days, if you’re in an industry which still uses regular communications for any reason.
Put as much information to the card look chaotic. Less is more, it is better to have important information in writing more than to cram too much information and use a small font.
Remember that if you choose a lighter color card writing is concerned, the writing is big enough and bold enough to easily read. Small and thin writing is very difficult to read on a dark background, so for the purpose of your card – if your contact details are hard to decipher will be less effective.
Right – which is on the front of the card provided.
But what on the back of the card?
On the back of your credit card marketing is a space, wasted it!
As Gill Bloggs is a smart cookie to have something on the back side of your card, which explains what makes one, or better yet, as the recipient of his services there. In other words – the benefits.
What I mean “benefit”? That is the difference between “We write copy for sites ‘and’ saying that the people on your web site longer.
Make sure you know, marketing, space on the back of your credit card, but leave some space around the edges for people to write what they learn on a date.
Other tips to help your business work harder for you
Keen Networkers as information written on the back of the card – which is really difficult if the card is laminated or glossy, you’re just making it difficult for them. If you write on laminated or glossy surface on the ink is dry, it gets on your fingers and clothes. That does not win you any points with people who might be potential customers.
Standard business cards are a standard weight card can be a good idea to slightly heavier than the map to the default printer, powerful cards subconsciously says, “we use quality ‘! Very thin card to say’ light ‘and send the subconscious of society. It’s always better to ask to see samples before selecting – or at least know what to feel the weight of different cards.
Dealing cards.
It is easy to print on your card around to everyone in the negotiations, but it is often the waste of tickets. Many cards will not hold if the person who is – so do not forget, if you had an interview, it could just end up in the trash.
Good link label says that it should not offer your card, if required – and at least should ask if anyone wants.
Click on any of these events, the network where everyone sits around the table and go around the map, select only the one you want, and if you want to be remembered above all, speak to people who want to join them and personally cards.
Executives receive a card.
Do not be afraid to write on the cards. Write the date, and if you promised action, write it.
Do you have a file that works – it is a scanner, or card filing box. It is good practice to Follow-up meetings with e-mail to help people meet to remember. For those who feel that you can help, or allow them to apply for a longer one to one meeting and learn more.
Do not make a mistake with stacks of cards at home, or throw in a drawer or box – you’ll waste your time trying to get the one you want, whenever you want to find in a hurry! Consider a file that can accommodate even odd sized cards – there are people who are postcard-sized cards, and in particular for small or large maps.
