Business Cards
In this session, discover the best way to present
yourself with flair - from paper-based artworks to digital versions! Plus, find
out why having no cards at all can also make an impression on potential
customers or employers.
Business Card Etiquette
Before attending your next networking
event, don't forget to bring along a stylish business card case filled with
fresh and immaculate cards. Handing out too many of these could make you seem
pushy or aggressive - present only when necessary! When it's time for an
update, print new ones- crossing over old information looks messy and
unprofessional. A well thought out design gives others their first impression
of who you are as a professional—don’t take this lightly!
Don't just glance at the card when it's
given to you - make sure that you take a moment and show respect by noting
something positive about its design. This way, not only are you demonstrating
your interest in them as an individual, but it also helps with remembering
their name or job title for future reference! Even if the card is one that
doesn’t particularly appeal to you – don’t refuse it; instead put into a pocket
until they're out of sight so as not cause offense. After looking over all
details on the card, store carefully in either a wallet-slot or front pocket
(not back!) showing appreciation through treating this gesture with kindness
and care.
Electronic Card Sharing
When networking, sometimes the classic
physical card may not be enough. After all the hard work is done making
introductions at that event or meeting it's imperative you remember use your
task list system wisely - adding reminders in order for follow ups through
newly acquired data doesn’t have go waste importantly as well make sure they
presentation looks flashy when passing along contact info via smartphones-
afterall first impressions count!
There is still an easy way forward!
Stationery stores offer the perfect solution - printable products so that you
can customise your own with all the essential contact information: name, phone
number, e-mail
address etc. You can choose to keep it simple or get creative by adding
elements such as unique fonts or personal branding details for added impact!
Making sure those key contacts know how they can reach out couldn’t be easier –
no matter what stage of career development you're at.
