Some of the reasons why these cards are so important:
* They serve as ice breakers during introduction with new people belonging to the same business. Exchange of business cards is the first step all the professionals follow when they meet for the first time. Whenever you provide your card to a potential customer or other people that are expected to generate leads, you make your first approach towards starting a new relationship. All this information works as self-promotion which is a non-aggressive and decent way of campaigning for your product with no obligations attached. Since the card is very small and can be handled easily, anyone accept it readily without much fuss.
* A business card carries your cell no., business type, address and your name and qualification as well as post. So, naturally what you are selling is included in the card. Most of the time just mentioning the company name is enough because of the reputation and fame it carries. But in case you are representing a new venture then along with the company, product name should also be mentioned in the card which can help in accomplishing the fundamental mission of sharing a business card. Nowadays, the trend is to use a catch phrase that describes your product. This trick is highly effective in generating interest amongst potential customers.
* If created carefully, your business card can serve as an information treasure trove for contacting you. You should mention multiple types of contact details such as landline number, cell number, email, physical address and any alternative address or local branch office address along with head office details. This helps create authenticity about your product or the company you are representing. Mentioning all these various contact details is important because all types of people need not always approach you using one medium such as the phone number. Some would like to communicate with email and the other by post. And moreover, having all these details on your card make you look updated and in touch with the latest communication systems.
* Business cards printing also carries website url due to which your website address is automatically reached to the prospect customer.
* When you are given a business card there are chances that it would be passed on to other people as well who can turn into your customers. In this way, merely handing over your card can start the promotion campaign of your product or service.
