Before LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, business cards were the original social network. Now that social media is extremely popular, there are ways to bring the two together. Using the right techniques, it can be the link between the company’s physical and online worlds. Here are some business card uses to fast forward into the digital age. Add Social Media Websites List all social networking sites that relate to the business. Company website, email address, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and other websites of interest should be listed. An easier way to link it to one website so they can choose for themselves. Feel free to eliminate http:// or “www.” when adding social media websites; the way it is written will be understood as a website. Websites for personal use should be left out…unless you want someone to find out something that will ruin your reputation. Add QR Codes Smartphone’s love QR codes, so add a QR code on the business card. Big or small, one scan links your business card to a website of interest. If adding a QR code is an option make sure it leads to a mobile version of the website. A QR code is pointless without it. Multitask Let a business card provide more than just a card of information. Turn it into something useful. Turn a business card into a bookmark, sticker, event/free pass ticket, lottery ticket for a drawing and more. Business cards can also mention product launches, upcoming events, resumes and sales promotions. Add trivia, a testimonial, an area to take notes, or a charity cause to the business card to spark conversation. Add Visuals Business cards are about substance and always have been. However, photos of the company, pictures of you, and pix of your creations are a few of many examples why a plain company name, address and phone number won’t do. Give something more on a business card than contact info and blank space. Be sure to use both sides of the card as this is the trend now. One can feature a photo or company logo while the other one has contact information.Business cards are as important an ever to share contact information, but for it to be effective today it cannot use the same techniques. Companies have to be creative, conversational and into social media to truly get the most out of a business card. Besides, business cards give the recipient something to touch and hold (other than their phone) and a way to remember you (without memorizing details). Let the business card brand your business online and off. ...read more

Business cards are great for making business contacts, but sometimes you are in a social situation, and you need something a little different. What is a social business card? It is a card that has your personal&social media contact information on it. The idea seems to be there is a place for the social business card in our rapidly changing world of social media and virtual connecting.Here are seven situations a creatively designed social business card would be a key asset: Networking- if you are in the job market, or unemployed, then you are not likely to have a business card, or if you do, it may be one from a former employer. You end up scribbling your contact information on the back and feeling less than professional. The social business card makes the process of networking easier, and you can include your LinkedIn profile, or online resume page. Parties, barbecues or other events- If you are planning a party or other get together, have social business cards on hand. You can write the time and date on a handful of cards. When you see someone you wish to invite, just give him or her a card. You can even include it with invitations as a reminder. The card is small enough to carry with them, like an appointment card, so they are less likely to forget, and it makes it easy to get in touch with you, or find your house. Dating- When you meet someone and want to see them again, but the awkwardness of finding a pen and paper, or even asking is difficult. A social business card can make that transition easy and non- threatening. If you include your social media links, the person can find out a bit more about you, and perhaps contact you in a casual online way, like a Facebook message. They will certainly remember you, as they have a tangible reminder of your meeting. Class reunions- this is a place where you are reconnecting with many people, or perhaps meeting new people. Using a card is easier than repeatedly writing out your information on the back of a napkin, or the person needing to pull out their phone and enter the info on the spot. At school- if there is someone in a class that you would like to spend time with or get to know, a social business card is a quick way to get their attention. They can look you up on Facebook, or send you an IM. On vacation- there are always those wonderful people you meet on vacation. “Keep in touch,” you say, or “We should get together again.” It rarely happens, but in the age of online socializing it is easy to stay connected, and so handing a card to your cruise ship dinner friends, or the great ski instructor can keep the friendship developing. As a gift card- These are just the right size for a gift card, or to insert in a flower arrangement, and you can write something personal on the back When creating asocial business card, besides your name and phone number, consider including: Your home address Your email address Blog or website address Facebook name Twitter username LinkedIn IM name Skype contact QR codes, scan-able to link to your website, social media, or even enabling the user to add your contact info to their phone. Be creative, there are many uses for a social business card, and because these are more casual than a business card, you have more freedom. You may even consider having more than one type for different uses.Consult usfor putting your ideas into a social card that expresses your individuality. ...read more

Postcards are the quintessential mini billboards of marketing, a cost-effective and quick way of reaching customers with your message. Easy to create, target, deliver and track, postcards are ideal for small businesses that don’t have large advertising budgets. Postcards are the best opportunity to attract new customers while keeping your established clients informed about your business. Take the steps necessary to ensure you get the best bang for your buck and return on your expense. Your extra efforts will be worthwhile. Here are some postcard marketing ideas to drive business your way. Effective Postcards Keep Things Simple Your message should be snappy, catchy and easy to read, leaving your customers wanting to know more. Your postcard should be memorable and worth keeping. Put yourself in your customers’ shoes. While today’s technology provides hundreds of font and color choices, overloading your customers with too much information and too much visual clutter can be detrimental. People lead busy lives and imagining them viewing your postcard as a billboard going by at 70 miles an hour is a good way to gauge the amount of content printed on your postcards. Focus on Benefits, Not Features Good sales copy means offering benefits to your customers instead of telling them about the features in your products and services. Keep the copy in your postcard advertising short and to the point, promoting only one major offer per postcard mailing. This is best accomplished by putting a headline on your postcard and spelling out a few outstanding benefits using bulleted points. Be sure to provide all of your contact information including your website on the postcard. A unique code printed on the postcard will allow you to identify which postcard is generating the most qualified leads for your business. Standing Out From the Crowd It seems nearly every household in America is inundated with mail. This is why your postcard needs to stand out. Research has shown thatcolor sells! The use of stock photos, product images, photos of your completed work that grab the attention of the reader that are closely related to your offer seals the deal. Target marketing is a must. Sure it takes time and you’ll pay more for the more specialized services entailed with more targeted mailings, but if you don’t send a postcard to new residents or a certain demographic in a specific zip code or new and established businesses, your competitors will. Focusing your postcards on certain business types, income brackets, property values, ages, purchasing habits, lifestyles, hobbies and even demographics or certain zip codes, carrier routes, residences or business-to-business is essential. Crafting the Offer Offer your customers a premium of some sort, a desirable gift or discount. Many small businesses periodically send their “best” customers special offers or discounts for simply being their “best” customers. It’s also a great way to attract new customers and introduce your company. ...read more
