Do WF users have their own business card?

Put your biggest baddest benefit on your business card. Why should I contact you?

Yes contact information is good, but if you have a direct marketing message, a call to action so to speak, they will pay dividends over a business card with a fancy 'corporate-esque' looking logo on it any day.

Look fancy or have people buy from you?

I think a simple e-business card with just a small logo, what your job function is etc is sufficient. It gives a professional vibe to people who visit your site, and might encourage them to buy stuff from your site in the future.

Interesting...

In Japan, the business cards often list everything a person does, from the clubs they are in to the church they go to, and any responsibilities they have.

The feeling I get when I receive one of these business cards is that I really know the person a lot more-- despite the fact that I just met them.

I'm a big fan of biz cards that are atypical. Like mentioned in a previous post, throw a marketing message on there. Make it an actual lead-getter. If your biz card is like every other card that someone gets, it won't stand out from the pack.

Be sure to put testimonials on the back of your business card, and reinforce a free offer that can be picked up on your website... so that people can visit your site, sample your expertise, and eventually become customers.

I use, and sell, business cards that look like folded real money.
The ones that I use most often look like a folded hundred dollar bill,
although they come in any denominate desired.

I'll try to post a picture of one here:



They are different enough from real money to not get you in
trouble, but they DO tend to irritate waitresses in restaurants
when you leave them sticking out from under the edge of a
plate :p

I imagine they could also get you thrown out of a strip club,
but I haven't tried that

These make a great conversation piece and people tend to
hang on to them or even pick them up from the table at
business meetings or conferences.

I do use different cards based upon my purpose, and do
sometimes print up special cards just for a single gathering.

The card in the picture is one that I give to people that are
doing LARGE product launches within the next year and that
I want to call me when they need a JV broker. They are very
effective at that, and have probably resulted in 25 people
contacting me in the past month looking for a JV broker for
their multimillion dollar launchs... mostly not in internet marketing.

These can even work beautifully if left on bulletin boards,
depending upon what you are selling.

I also sometimes put a "coupon" on the back, redeemable
for something like a free gift, driving them to a squeeze page

At live events, probably the most-often asked question will be,
"Do you have a card?" so they still make a lot of sense although
most people probably go home and stick most business cards
in a drawer somewhere... and don't look at them again until
they are outdated!

When I collect cards, I typically also take a digital photo
with the person, and then when I get back to my office,
or hotel room, I enter them into my contact manager, AND
schedule a greeting card with a photo of us together on
the front, and a note inside suggesting that we follow-up
with each other... as appropriate. That's how I make sure
that when I travel to live events, I actually get many times
my investment in time and travel expenses back!

Nice one Willie!

I just use my Warrior Forum profile! Works well as a "business card"!

Top stuff, Willie. I like a business card with a photo on it, for the reasons that Willie outlined where he takes a photo of the owner...
