Tip:   Nifty Business Cards

 

Problem: People sometimes are out of business cards when you want to follow up from your first meeting. Without a card, they may write their contact information on the back of an envelope or a paper napkin.

 

 

Solution: Carry blank business cards I call "My Other Card".

 

What's this? It's a low-cost item with space for basic information. See the card I use, just below.

Basic information below MY OTHER CARD.

 

MY NAME

That's all.  I created these cards about 5 years ago and have used them many times since.  At every meeting I attend some people have no cards, are "between cards" because they've moved, or have simply run out of cards.  When I ask, they apologize, "Sorry, I don't have my cards."  I respond, "Oh yes, you do.  Here is "your other card."  And I hand them the blank card you see above.

 

The card evokes a chuckle and covers the awkward moment, and I always get the contact information I want.  Problem solved!

 

If youwould like to get such cards for yourself at very low cost, send an email to [email protected] with  "Low Cost Cards" in the subject line and I'll see that you get the information, no strings attached.  (Last time I ordered, I believe I paid only $5.00 for 250 cards.)

 

Thank you for subscribing and reading this tip!

 

Until next week's tip,
