It is still a common practice to hand out business cards. Business cards have long been and continue to be the standard for handing out your contact information. Today business cards are also being used to convey ideas and capture the attention of those to who they have been dealt.
Business cards are far from being outdated as many people mistakenly believe. Some short-sighted people have gone as far as to stop using business cards altogether. But there are a few creative entrepreneurs who have seen the opportunity to use the old tool as a way of standing out from the crowd.
Catchy business cards are not a new strategy, but they are continuing to get more unique, and some are quite noticeable. There is no end to the designs, shapes and colors that people will use to get their business cards noticed. There are cards made of strange materials like metal or wood in some cases, and there are cards that are purposely made oversized, so they won’t easily fit in a wallet while others are much smaller than normal.
Lots of money is spent by some even paying dollars apiece for beautiful elaborate business cards. The idea being that the people who receive these business cards won’t want to get rid of them because they’re too nice to throw away
For many, it is a never-ending quest to get their card noticed, to stand out in a sea of business cards. Maybe it’s not such a bad idea to spend a little time creating a business card that will be truly effective and that speaks for you.
