The rumors telling us about the near-death of the business card are in my opinion highly exaggerated.
\nIn our digital age some people think that business cards are obsolete and unnecessary, they say that the online plattforms have made them outdated.
\nHowever, reality is completely different and all attempts to try to “reinvent” the business card in the digital world have failed.<\/p>\n
The business cards are everywhere, even in the most digital worlds of them all…Silicone Valley,
\npeople still greet each other by handing out these little card rectangles rather than tapping their phones together.<\/p>\n
This is about marketing your self, and as a self-empolyed it is so important to always market you and your skills.<\/p>\n
In a world where you nowadays rarely have true face-to-face communication, we place a higher value on the personal touch than before.
\nThe business card is a physical representation of you, your personality, your brand and the company you represent.
\nYour card does not have to be just informative, it can be memorable, fun and visually inspiring. Your business card can leave a lasting impression in ways that words might not do, and your potential customer will remember you long after you have handed it to them.<\/p>\n
A really well-designed business card can also start a whole new conversation with a prospective client. The more unique the card, the more you\u2019ll open lines of communication, and that\u2019s important when you\u2019re meeting for the first time.<\/p>\n
