Business Cards For Business Productivity - By: Marc Levack

Technology and today’s advances in the online business world moves ahead daily at a rapid pace causing companies to continually re-look at how they handle their business interactions and reach potential customers. As businesses are evolving with these transforming trends the one traditional aspect still recognized as the most effective once you step away from the computer is business to business (B2B) and business to consumer (B2C) interactions.

Whether it is business-to-business (B2B) networking or business-to-consumer (B2C), the practice of swapping business cards between potential clients still remains the most commonly used medium in making effective and memorable introductions. From trade shows to business conferences to a local networking event, business cards can be seen interchanging hands continually throughout the day or evening. Neglecting to have a good stack of business cards in hand during these circumstances can defeat the entire purpose of attending. They are an informative, brand wearing simple marketing tool that at times are often the only leave behind for people to remember you by for future contact or questions or possibly even that one huge client or colleague you’ve been searching for.

The Business Card, still the most effective and economic marketing tool today. Keeping this in mind, let’s look at the key components to be included in a 2.5” x 3” space to make them most efficient. Key information such as company logo, card holders name, designation, email address, phone number(s), physical address and website are the standard content. Now, you look for the added features, colors and finishes that will really make the card pop and standout from a basic black and white card. Full color cards with added features such as Foil or Inline Foil, Spot UV, UV Coating or a Silk Laminated finish are unique and sturdy. Silk Laminated and ultra thick plastic cards are some of the most durable cards available that are still easy to carry in a wallet; pocket or business card holder. Font selection can also make or break a card. Fonts should be simple and clear so that the card is easily read. Some companies will even utilize the backside of the business card for discounts, specified offers, coupons or QR codes that can add extra value to the card and at times allow the business to track its effectiveness.

As times change and more and more businesses open and grow each day, it’s important to keep in mind that business cards and face to face communication are still the most effective, economical and memorable way to represent yourself and your company.
