Small BIG things

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Print24. All opinions are 100% mine.

So I was recently approached about doing a post about Business Cards. Traditionally these small, rectangular-sized printed media pieces have been the networking tool that kept your business-contact list growing. But fast forward to today. Are business cards still needed in the digital age?

The answer is – Absolutely Yes! Although it may be true that many of us interact less with people face to face, especially on the Affiliate Marketing side of things, business cards are still a great marketing tool for one reason – Networking.

Networking affords us the ability to create and maintain relationships. Take my esteemed colleague, local Orlando blogger Ashley Edwards. By leveraging his local relationships, he gets invited to many cool venues (for FREE) and therefore has 1st dibs on what’s happening in the Orlando area. By having the inside scoop, he’s 1st to break the story on his hip blog about things to do in Orlando: “Pulse of Central Florida”.

Recently Ashley mentioned a venue he was attending and was in need of new business cards. So we hopped on the interwebs and landed at our sponsor Print24. We played around with some templates (he’s a real simple, down to earth guy), picked a simple one he liked, added info and had them delivered in a few days (see pic). He loves his new cards and they will serve him well.

Regardless of the size of your enterprise, business cards tell people who you are and what you do. So instead of asking others to write down your contact info (which is a lame time-suck BTW), give’em your card! It will leave a better 1st impression as well as get you noticed. And remember, although you personally made the initial contact, it’s your business card that may get you the sale/job/promo, etc. later on.

Need new cards? Head over to Print24 and make your own. Yes, some small things come in small packages, but can pay BIG dividends.
