There are many wonderful uses for business cards. We last looked a a fun use, business card origami. Today we’ll look at a well used marketing idea for your company.
Generally business cards do a great job at one thing, getting your message across. But do they do that job frequently? Probably not. People put your business cards into a Rolodex, desk or trash can and rarely, if ever, think about you again.
This tip can change all of that. Print your business cards on magnets for people to keep forever.
When you begin to hand out your business cards, I would recommend handing out a regular business card and a magnet business card at the same time. This way the client has a normal business card to file away somewhere, but also a magnetic business card to stick on the fridge, toolbox, filing cabinet, or even on a desk.
This tip would probably work best for emergency service industries like plumbers, roof repair specialists, dentists, doctors, computer repair (hardware and software) companies and the like.
This would keep your name in front of the customer for a sustained period of time. They may not remember you or your phone number, but they will remember where the stuck your business card and will be able to easily remember you!
