Why Should You Have Business Cards?

They are good conversation starters with the LOOK and DESIGN...

AND they are good reminders of who "whatshername" was, and why you need to RECONNECT.

(I admit, I'm bad with names...)

Proper Business Card Etiquette

• Whenever you give a business card, ask for a business card.

• When given a business card, don't just take it and place it in your pocket. Make the person feel important by looking at their card for a few seconds. You might see something that could be a topic of discussion.

• Write comments on the card such as date, location and common points of interest. These comments will prove valuable when following up with that person. This also demonstrates a sincere interest in the other person.

• Place the in your wallet. This lets them know they reside in a special place with you. Make people feel important, in order to make yourself important to them.

FYI: Business Cards

Business cards can be dated as far back as the 15th century. Known as the visiting card or a calling card in the 17th century, they were used to make sure names were correctly announced when entering a social. It was a social convention that was bound by some very strict etiquette rules. In today’s society, they are used as a common practice between business and the public.
