Use Business Cards To Start The Fire

Some people say business cards are dead and while most would agree with that statement and begin to argue that their website is a better way of marketing their business, my question to those people would be, “How do you give prospects your site?”

The same people claim the professional connecting sites such as LinkedIn and other contact management apps have been the #1 cause for business cards to be obsolete. Again, what do you use to give people your LinkedIn site? Those people are wrong. deadbusinesscard-0410151

Don’t get it wrong though, business connecting sites such as LinkedIn, Ello, FullContact and and even YouTube.com can spread your business faster than a business card can, in my opinion, but you need something to start the fire, something in the form of paper and then the same paper to keep the fire going.

Push Your Business Forward And Travel With Business Cards

The cool thing about business cards is they are a great tool to use to begin your introduction to a potential client or to close your statement with a “checkmate.” As a business owner you should keep cards with you at all times as they serve their purpose and are heavily powerful and effective.

Not in your natural district? Maybe your business requires you to travel and you’d like to be productive while out of town because, after all, business doesn’t stop no matter where you are. Business cards take care of that problem.
