The Power of Networking


Do you have a business card?  Maybe a better question is, do you have a stack of business cards from networking events that you've got stashed away in a drawer somewhere.

I've read recently that business cards may be losing their appeal.  With the emergence of social media and all things "techy", maybe a traditional business card is no longer an essential or effective way to network.  I thought the same way, until I saw this recent article on many unique business card designs.  Isn't the purpose of sending out or handing out business cards is for the potential client/customer to call you when they have a need for your service or product?  If that's the result you are trying to achieve, then I'd highly suggest you spend a bit more and hand out business cards that will have your potential clients holding on to your card, maybe even keeping it with them in their wallets. 

Check out the link I've included in this post.Unique Business Card Designs  There are several really catchy unique designs of business cards that you can hand out at networking events.

Bottom line is, if you are going to spend lots of cash on business cards, I'd make sure that they are going to be held onto after you've given them out, not merely stashed away in a drawer, stuffed in a file, or worse, dropped in the trash!!
