Who needs business cards?
In this
technological age, most business is
conducted digitally so surely business cards are throwbacks to an earlier time
- fast becoming as extinct as dinosaurs?
No they're
not! They can still play an invaluable role in your working life and the very
best of luck to you if you decide to do without them.
Why do they matter?
They matter
because our brains are constantly bombarded with information and our memories
may let us down. How many times have you been at a networking event and talked
to people who could be brilliant business contacts and then, five minutes after
the meeting, you can't even remember their names or, still less, the relevance
to your work?
Just think,
if you don't hand out your business card, this could be you and your company....Instantly
forgotten.
Business
cards serve as a fail-safe physical record of your contacts, allowing mutual follow
ups at a later date. Who knows what wonderful opportunities could come your way
as a result?
Couldn't I just use my smartphone
instead?
You could -
but what happens when you get your phone out and look down to tap in the
information? You lose eye-contact and connectedness and it can seem rude. Much
better to keep talking, keep smiling, be related and hand out a card. Quick, simple
and effective.
Remember, business
cards are there even when there's no signal or the internet is down!
And business
cards, unlike an entry in a phone contact folder, can be designed creatively to
express your brand personality.
