in October we're doing tricks and treats to help your business
and put a link to that series in the description bar down below
but today we're talking about business card and
affect your business cards right here for two of my business is
first that i'm gonna share is
use small side are your business card
discount color printing I get a lot of business cards where it
hi Jay on beautiful hey last
us but it's just written in the front all the information in the front and
nothing in the back black and I financially such a huge
way space nowadays there's more information that we need to include in
ever before because
not only do we need to include our regular contact information
but we need to include how people can reach us on our social
media net
so by using both sides other card
were able to do just that so I'll always remember to include
your name your company name your
email and your phone if you do business via fax and you need people to know that
number
include got and if you have a storefront on
office our PO Box will you accept mail make sure to include that as well
making easy for the people looking at your card
to find you but like I said these days we also need to include
our social media haha son my car to a particular
I have how you can find me on my YouTube channel
my website Facebook LinkedIn and Twitter
the next even gonna share
is one thing I learned a workshop a few years ago
on how to create me perfect business card and I don't have
hi that if on my cart but
what it was if you use glossy paper
like mine right here you might want to consider
not using it in the back and then including
ask where with the word notes over it
so that while you're talking to someone you can write down
what it was that they wanted to contact you about
in the notes before you hand it to them or it gives them the opportunity to
write down notes about your conversation
and I when they go home at the end to the night after networking function
where they've got thirty forty fifty to sixty business cards to look at
they can remember what it is that they wanted to talk to you about
the next it also came from that workshop and it was to include
a photo of yourself on your business card
now I how the the real estate industry
down that pretty prevalent Lee and I think it's a great idea
I don't see too many other industries incorporate that into their business
cards but I think it's another great way to make a connection with the person
looking at your cart
again most the time when you're handing out your car you doing it because you
had a conversation with somebody
we've been at a networking function and
now not only do they have all your information I am
and notes that they role I want from your conversation
but they have a picture to help them remember whole day spoke to
a lot of time even with the best intentions we get home from our
networking function
and we don't immediately input all the contact that we met that night
and synthetic it takes weeks such as it could take months
and if you don't remember when you pick up the car
what it was that you talk to that person about just thinkin
how we can happen happened to me I should happen to you
you end up dumping that card but they have something to cheer their memory
like a photo
or no on their conversation they're more likely to make that connection with you
keep that connection with you
and then contact you the next
I'm going to share is cleave
leave jet your business card

baskets where you can print it out on your home printer
