Business Cards Still Relevant
There’s been a lot of talk lately about the business card dying as a networking medium. New electronic ways of exchanging information and mobile phone applications that make the transferring of contact info as simple as “bumping” your devices together are all the rage. There was even some anecdotal evidence of the business card dying at the recently held SXSW show. According to this piece in Fortune, less people were handing out business cards than last year.
But there are plenty of people who still believe that business cards are one of the most effective ways to network and get you and your business seen and remembered. They include one of our own contributors, Bob Prentice, who talks about planting your business cards in fertile ground, and using them to network and be memorable.
What is changing is what the business card includes and what is has become. Last week Valerie Maltoni wrote a very effective post on her Conversation Agent blog about how to optimize your business card, including real life tips and tricks for what to include and how to set yourself apart.
What your opinion, are business cards still relevant for your business, and how have yours adapted over the years?
