That’s very true, Audrey and I love your attitude, geschenke. It really is that easy.

Today, for example, I was at the park with my daughter but I’d taken my laptop and mobile broadband with me so I could sneak in a little work while she played. Another mother approached me asking about mobile internet. We chatted shortly. I mentioned that dealing with Web Design and Technology is actually what I do for a living if she needed more help than my short explanation. I gave her my business card and invited her to drop me an email if she had any other Web Technology questions I could help her with. It was so easy to reach into my bag for a card rather than try to write down my details in a way that she’s remember their purpose later.

The trick now is in finding MORE ways to give our cards. I have a friend who, from time to time, leaves business cards on car windscreens or drops them into letter boxes. Quality business cards can be printed so cheaply these days that giving them out in such quantity is a fantastic idea.

I think to have good business cards to give everyone is really important to generate more clients. Just give them away, I mean they are cheap and could land in the right hands.

I’m also one of the firm believers that business cards are really still necessary even in these days of iPhones and whatnot.
You just can’t beat the advantages business cards have to offer.
Also I always hear Vista Print as one of the best printers around. Has to be true if you always hear about them.

I LOVE that idea, Rebecca, and actually do have a card that matches my freelance site (with the highway) – I get lots of compliments on that one.

As for the health site, I went with something I designed myself at Vista. But after reading Deb’s response and hearing her success with a custom card, I’ll definitely be considering going the extra mile…

Thanks for chiming in, Rebecca!!

I do LOVE the fancy design options. They’re a great way to create buzz. But sometimes, all it takes, is having something handy to say, “I don’t have a pen on me but this is me and you can reach me at these details.” I have two sets of business cards, one for “Rebecca, the writer” and one for “Rebecca, the webtech”. But I don’t hand them out as much as I could.

Recently, I’ve been asked to design business cards that match the websites I’m designing. It’s a fantastic idea to have your business card match your design of your Web site and it’s one of the ways you can leave an impression and be memorable.

You can get as creative as you like with your business cards. If you’re just getting started you can go for simple, inexpensive cards that really just say, “Hey, this is me”. As your business takes off you can choose to invest in cards that can will extend your brand. You might also want to start with the less expensive options if you’re not sure how often you might give out cards or if you expect to be giving out LOTS of them.

One of the things I remember from my trip to a writer’s conference in L.A. is that it’s a good idea to have cards on hand to give out as you strike up conversations and meet people at these sorts of events.

@Deb Ng: Those are some sleek, gorgeous cards you have there! Awesome.

I love your story about all the buzz for your business card design. And isn’t that awesome that he immediately knew about your card when he discovered who you were?!

Thanks for sharing, Deb! And thank you for the link love. Much appreciated.
