Are Calling Cards Still Useful As A Referral Tool?
Everyone in business has a name card. You have a calling card and you give it to potential clients, friends, people you meet, etc. However, do you know whether those business cards are boosting your business? With the increasing use of search engines like Google.com, is the calling card still a useful networking tool?
The answer is… DEFINITELY!
However, you can make sure your business card works better to get you business.
1) Make your business card design bold. Do NOT be afraid to use bold colors, bold pictures. Anything to make it more memorable.
2) Make it FUN! There’s no rule saying business cards must be rectangle shaped. One of my most successful business card was in the shape of a monkey’s face. I was at an internet strategies seminar and gave out 4-5 cards to people I talked to. Lo and behold, people started coming up to me ASKING for a card. “Hey, can I have one of your cool monkey cards, please?”. When was the last time someone said that to you? 
Good ideas… If you sell double umbrella stroller, make your card a baby stroller. Or if you’re selling computers, what about having your card in the shape of a mouse (a computer mouse, of course!). Things like that will get you noticed and remembered!
