Don't Just Hand Out Business Cards

Stop being a business card distributor. You know who you are. You go to all the networking events with a stack of business cards, and you just pass them out like flyers.

Not only are you wasting your time, but you're also wasting your cards. Instead of randomly passing out business cards, talk to people and find out if they are actually interested in your service.

In addition, focus more on getting others' business cards so that you can follow up with them later. Don't depend on people to follow up with you.

The average person will not keep your business card (no matter how nice the design of it is), so it is your responsibility to keep theirs. Doing this will enable you to contact this person via email, phone, and even through direct mail marketing.

I promise you that you will close the deal more often if you implement this strategy.

  1. business post card is essential in marketing your business. It's a way of intriguing your prospects with the kind of opportunities you are offering to them. It is important that you include contact info on it so it would be easier for them to communicate with you once they got interested on your business.
