For its size and cost, a business card is probably the most powerful part of any good marketing plan.

Keeping your cards in your pocket is an utter waste of time (as well as the money you spent on them). Be clear about who your target client is. When you see an opportunity slip in your business card...but always be polite and sensible - never just thrust your card at someone just for the sake of doing so.

The new type of business card magnets are very effective. They usually end up on refrigerators and are not thrown away or forgotten about. Having your business card on your prospects frige so that they see it just about daily is fantastic advertising with a minimum expense involved.

The most common mistake in your card design is overcrowding. Remember, the truly essential information on any business card is your name, your company name, your main phone number...and especially important nowadays - your email address and website.

Business card design and printing can come in different forms. Style such as raised ink or full color are amongst the most common types. There are also die cut, foil stamp, and embossing. Determining which is best for your business may come down to just the economics of which to choose from...though a well-designed and well-worded card is always a wise investment - not just an 'unnecessary' expense.

A business card is an invitation to a relationship, and relationships yield business...this is why it is so important that you get it right, and think about your choice of design and the message you wish to convey.

Very often, your business card determines what (if anything) that your prospect remembers about you after your initial meeting.

Before you even think about designing your card, you should first decide what you want it to do...which unfortunately most businessmen (and businesswomen) forget.

When thinking about a design for your business card, start with the style that best supports the image you wish to project. After all - your card is an extension of the product or service you provide...and it should support whatever image you desire for yourself and your business.

Business cards are much more than a convenient means to leave your contact information with a prospect. Today, a business card can be an ad...a mini-brochure...a discount card...or even CD-ROM presentation.
