Marketing Tip #10

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Don’t underestimate the power of a great card. A business card is one of the most important, and most overlooked, elements of any marketing effort. It’s often the first impression that a prospect will have of your business. So, rather than ignore it, why not make it an impressive, memorable reflection of your product or service?

It’s almost comical how often at networking events people will blather on and on about their product or service and then hand out the most lame, cheesy-looking card. Not exactly a great credibility builder, is it.

Can you imagine a business card sparking a conversation, that sparked a meeting, that led to a 93 thousand dollar project? I can, because it happened to me. If you want to hear the story and see the card, just leave me a comment below and ask for the “card story.” I’ll be happy to share it with you.
