You still need a business card.
Ever wonder if that little piece of paper even matters anymore? I mean everyone just finds you through Google or word of mouth, right? Wrong. Sure, you’ve got to have killer SEO and an amazing website. However, if you want to be a real, professional businessman or businesswoman, you’re going to want to give your clients an actual real-life business card.
Why? First of all, you’re giving them a physical reminder, which is oh-so-important these days. Emails get deleted without even being opened. One slip from the top ranking of Google, and your website isn’t visited. When you make a personal connection with someone though, and give all the information they need (and ONLY the information they need), then you’re making an impression that will lead to a business relationship.
Notice that word relationship? We think it’s pretty important. We want to invest and partner with companies and individuals. The way to do that is by building a relationship with customers. And relationships require intentionality from the get-go. Yes, we believe you can start a relationship with a smile and a business card. It goes a long ways…
…Especially when that business card looks amazing. With a super creative design that matches your brand and identity, you’re going to make a good impression. People trust good design. It makes your company look legitimate and innovative. If you think design doesn’t matter for your industry, you’re sorely mistaken, my friend. From carpentry to computer science, people want a business card that looks professional and creative (even if they don’t realize that’s what they’re looking for).
What’s written on it matters too. No more, no less than the essentials. This varies for each client, which is why it’s important to have a custom design. A template won’t tell you which information you should leave out and what you should add in. We will, though. From your contact info to your catchphrase, we’ll make sure you have what you need for the perfect business card.
