Make a Great First Impression with Your Business Cards

Business cards are one of the first marketing tools used for self-promotion, and have been used for many centuries. In 17th century Europe, an individual's success or failure in society often depended on how well they promoted themselves. Business cards are still necessary today to make a connection, even with vast Internet access and smart phones. To leave a memorable first impression, your business cards should be printed on premium card stock with high quality graphics and readable text. To make your business cards stand out, Smart Postal Centers can help. We offer color printing at the Lake of the Ozarks and full graphics capabilities. Here is a list of reasons why business cards are effective for business and you should keep a handful of them at all times:

Business Cards Are the First Impression of Your Brand

The purpose of business cards are to share your name, numbers, email address, and other contact information with business prospects. Another reason to have a quality business card is to create a memorable impression of your brand. You should express the tone of your company through your business cards.  A unique business card can create conversation and may stay in a person's pocket longer.

Business Cards Allow Follow Up

Business cards are a personal way to encourage people to follow up with you. When offering a
product or service, this could be your opportunity to make a sale. Handing your business card to a prospective client will look more professional than reaching for a pen and paper. Typing contact details in a mobile phone or tablet is more impersonal and not all people are comfortable with it. Engaging in conversation and making eye contact is how a real relationship begins. This becomes a perfect opportunity to offer your business card to the person.

Business Cards Show You Are A Professional

Presenting your business card when meeting with people, whether at scheduled meetings or in unplanned situations shows you are a professional. Printing business cards for your business and carrying them with you indicates you are prepared. This can send a message to the prospective client that you operate your business with the same organization.

Business Cards Are A Good Referral Tool

Networking events are common among business owners and having a good supply of business cards can bring you referrals. Your business card should not only list all of your contact information, but also information about the company or your skills. This allows people to follow up with you regarding possible business opportunities. If the card gets passed along, the extra detail will make a difference to the person that you initially gave the card to. They may know someone in their network that could use your service.
