Sooner Rather Than Later
In business the best time to exchange cards is when you first meet.  Make it a natural part of your introduction so there's none of the anxiety of wondering when you should do the exchange.

 "Tips for Social Media" 

Submitted by:  Cheri Martin
Social Media Coach- WCN Interactive, Inc. 
 
Although thought by some to be old-fashioned, email marketing remains one of the most effective marketing mediums for sales conversions, especially when integrated with your social media marketing. However, before you can profit from your email campaign you need to get your email open, which is the number one challenge for all marketers!
 
The key component to getting your email open is the 'subject line,' this is the information that is displayed along with the 'sender name' when an email lands in your inbox. You may have composed the best email with the world's greatest content, but if your subject line is not compelling enough to entice your readers to open it, all of your marketing efforts go unnoticed and your message will go unread.
 
So take the time to craft a persuasive subject line; make it short, simple and to the point, keeping it to 4-6 words max; make it attention-grabbing so the reader wants to know more; and make it relevant to the content in the body of your email so the reader doesn't feel deceived. A creative email marketing subject line can go a long way towards boosting your results and helping you achieve your marketing goals.
