tip1. Your business card must communicate more than just your contact information. Make sure that your card includes a tag line that explains what you or your company does.

tip2. Use the back of the cards you receive to write down important facts about the persons who handed them to you. It will help you enormously when you follow up with them.

tip3. When giving away your card, give two or three at a time, so that your
contacts can in turn distribute them to other people. This will not only help you distribute them faster, but will generate a beneficial “endorsing effect”.For more business card tips, go to: www.accordmarketing.com

4. Take good care of your business cards. Keep them clean and crisp in a cardholder. Don’t give away cards that are bent or damaged.5. Put up a website and use the URL in your business cards. If you don’t have a website, people will notice the absence of a web address in your business card and, depending on the business you are in, it may make you lose credibility.6. After your logo, your name should be the largest piece of information on your card.7. Even if you can produce your business
cards athome using an inkjet printer, have your business cardsprofessionally made by
a printing company. Your business card will be the first impression your prospects receive of your business, so let them convey the best possible one.For more business card tips, go to: www.accordmarketing.com

8. Make sure that your business card reflects your image. If you are an artist or a graphic designer, it is OK
to use trendy colors and fonts. If you are an investment banker, a sober layout and colors such as blue or gray work better.
9. If you are in a profession where relationship selling is important, it may be a good idea to include your picture in your business card (i.e. real estate brokers).
10. Keep your business cards with you at all times. Keep a stack in your car, in your house, in your office, and in your wallet.
11. Order them in large numbers. By ordering 1000 your cost per card will be significantly lower than if you ordered 500.
12. Keep all the information in your business card current. If you changed address or phone number, don’t scratch the old number and write down the new one by hand; get new business cards.
13. If somebody gives you their business card, you should give them yours in return.
14. Make your business card go the extra mile: use the back of the card to print more information: special offers, checklists, schedules, etc.
15. Include a business card with all your correspondence. People may throw away the letter, but will usually keep the business card.For more business card tips, go to: www.accordmarketing.com

16. Find a way to make your business cards stand out. Some businesses cards have one of its corners cut at an angle, or with an interesting texture, all of which makes your business card stand out of the crowd.
17. Make sure that all the information on your card is printed in a large enough typeface to be easily readable.
18. Keep your business card simple. Don’t use too many fonts or try to cram too much information in it. Try to use a pleasant layout
and make sure that your main message (your tagline or your unique selling proposition)
