The Art of Business Cards: 10 Reasons Why They are Still Relevant Today

In today’s digital age, it seems that everything is done online, from socializing to making business transactions. You might think that business cards are a thing of the past, but they are still a valuable tool when interacting with clients for the first time. In this blog post, we will discuss 10 reasons why business cards are still relevant in today’s world.

  1. Business cards add a personal touch
    When you hand a business card to someone, you are making a personal connection with that person. It shows that you value the time and effort that they put into meeting with you. E-cards simply dont work this way.
  2. They are affordable
    Business cards are an affordable way to get your name and contact information out there. You don’t need to invest a lot of money in expensive marketing materials; a simple card will do. At MVP Print, we have solutions that start as low as $45 including GST and delivery across Australia

  4. Don’t rely on technology to connect
    Even in this digital age, not everyone uses technology. Some people prefer a traditional approach and would rather have a physical card to hold on to. Its a one off purchase, without a cost to the seller every time they click !
  5. They serve as a reminder
    When someone sees your business card, it serves as a reminder of the conversation you had and the services you offer. This can lead to future business opportunities.
  6. Business cards are timeless
    Business cards have been around for centuries and continue to be a valuable tool today. They won’t go out of style and will always be relevant.
  7. They are portable
    A slimline card can fit easily in a wallet or a pocket. They are lightweight and won’t take up much space, making them easy to carry around with you. Most sizes are 90x55mm or 90x54mm.. but many opt for a smaller and more `wallet compatible’ 90x40mm size.
  8. Business cards set you apart
    When everyone is connected through technology, a physical business card can set you apart from the rest. It shows that you are willing to invest in the personal touch.
  9. A well-designed card can make an impact
    A well-designed card can leave a lasting impression on someone. They may remember your card more than they remember anything else about the conversation you had. And remember, in some circumstances you get what you pay for ! If your supplier is offering you anything less than 300gsm for your cards, dont buy them !
  10. Business cards show that you are prepared
    When you come to a meeting with a card, it shows that you are prepared and organized. It shows that you take your business seriously and are ready to network and connect with others.

As you can see, business cards are still a relevant and valuable tool when interacting with clients for the first time. They add a personal touch, are affordable, and versatile. Don’t rely on technology to connect with others; take the time to invest in a physical card. A well-designed card can leave a lasting impression and show that you are prepared and organized. Business cards or variations of such have been around for centuries and will continue to be a timeless and essential tool in the world of business.
