Your business cards. Stock them everywhere – your car, your wallet, your bag. Don’t ever find yourself talking to an excited prospect without a business card to hand them!
Business cards may be on their way to antiquity, but it’s the best physical reminder of a conversation or connection. If you don’t have a business card – it’s too easy (and fun) to do online these days, so there’s no excuse. Check out:
moo.com,
vistaprint.com, or
overnightprints.com…
If you have the time, $, and inclination, support a local letterpress studio and have custom cards created with your logo and contact info.
DO IT NOW: stock your life with small bundles of cards.
Excellent examples of how creative you can get with your biz card design
& here’s a post from Neil Patel’s Quick Sprout blog that offers a more critical review of some more inventive bizcard designs …
Moo.com lets you upload lots of images to display on the back of your 2-sided business card , so you’re not locked in to one image for a box-full of cards.
And these Moo.com mini-cards are great little conversation starters; your new acquaintance will remember you, for sure.

Angelique says: If you’re a visual artist, you must have an image of your work represented – somehow – on your card. I prefer a 2-sided card; one side holds an image of one of your best works on it, the other has your logo and contact info. This prevents one side of your card from becoming over-crowded with an image, logo and your info.
Rachel says: don’t get too creative with sizes – a square-shaped card that doesn’t fit in my biz-card holder is likely to find its way to the recycling bin. Sorry! Stick to the basic rectangular shape or smaller; you can, however, and should get creative within those parameters.
