In today’s world, it feels like everyone uses their phones and social media profiles to exchange information, both personally and professionally. When was the last time someone handed you a hard-copy business card? Despite the changes in how people network since the dawn of the internet, business cards are still an item you should always have in your pocket. 

3 Benefits of Using Business Cards

1. Are Easy to Share

Part of a business card’s effectiveness is how easy it is for people to pass them on. When you hand your card to one person, they could pass it along to someone else, whether a potential employer or client. If you meet someone with friends or clients who might benefit from your services, give them several of your cards to pass on at the office. 

2. Show Preparation

You’ll never look caught off guard. Instead of scrambling for a pen and paper or fumbling with your phone to give someone your contact info, all you have to do is open a card case or reach into your pocket. 

3. Market Effectively

Business cards add a personal touch that isn’t possible on a Facebook profile or networking homepage. Handing someone a physical object has more weight—literally and figuratively—than exchanging numbers, and this makes the recipient more likely to remember your name and business than something typed into a phone and forgotten about. If you carry business cards with you wherever you go, you’ll never miss the chance to make a memorable and important professional connection.
