4 Reasons Why Business Cards Are Still Effective

In today's times, everything seems to be switching to digital, such as emails. While this can be an advantage, there are some items that need to remain in print like business cards. There are many different advantages that come with having a professional business card. At Lake of the Ozarks' best printing company, we can create business cards for your business that can make you stand out from the competition. Business cards are a great tool to use while networking. While this may seem like an "old school" technique, business cards work, and here are a few reasons why they are still relevant. 

1. They're Personal

While inserting someone's contact information directly into your phone while you're with them may seem like a time saver, it gives you no interaction with them. One part of networking is making a genuine connection. Yes, digital contact information is easy and convenient, but handing someone your business card gives you time to actually talk to them. In addition, if you exchange business cards, you can write on the business card to give yourself reminders on where you met them and what you talked about, which makes contacting them later a little easier. 

2. They're Effective

While modern day advertising, such as email marketing, social media and paid advertising, are all great ways to get your business' name out there, nothing beats an in-person meeting. You could run into a potential lead anywhere and anytime - happy hour, trade shows, airport, so it is important to be prepared i.e. have a business card. It is always a good idea to have a few business cards in your wallet, purse, pocket or laptop bag. 

3. It Makes A Great First Impression

A business card is a lot more than exchanging your contact information. It is a person's first impression of your business, and you want it to be memorable. If you are potentially doing business with someone, you want them to have a certain image of you and your business. Do you want them to think that you are professional, reliable and organized? If you have an effective business card that is made right, it can pass on that message. 

4. It Makes You Prepared

A potential lead could happen anywhere, so you want to be prepared. If you are doing business someone, do you want them to write their name and number on a napkin, or do you want them to hand you a professional business card? Being prepared is important, especially when it comes to business interactions.
