Business cards have a long history in the business world, helping individuals make new connections and find valuable clients. However, a card is only helpful when used properly. By following a few essential etiquette tips, you can get better results when you give and receive business cards.

Top 3 Etiquette Practices for Business Cards

1. Be Selective 

While you should always have plenty of business cards on-hand, this doesn’t mean you should give them out to everyone you meet. It could come across as rude and obnoxious, with the majority of your cards landing in the trash. Instead, give out your card when someone asks for it, or when you have met a quality potential lead and wish to exchange information.

2. Double-Check Information 

Your card won’t be much good if it has incorrect information on it. Most business cards include an email address and phone number, though some also include a physical office location. Any time the information included on your card changes, update your business cards so potential contacts can reach you. At the very least, cross out outdated information on any older cards you may still have.

3. Follow Up 

You should generally only ask for someone else’s card when you are interested in reaching out to them again in the future. Even a quick email saying that it was a pleasure meeting them will help make a positive impression when reaching out in the future with a more fully-formed request or sales pitch.
