Companies of all sizes are challenged by what they can do to promote their businesses economically and effectively. Many, however, miss focusing on the smallest and least expensive of all promotional devices that can actually bring in business if designed and used correctly - the humble business card.
 
This presentation will demonstrate what you can do to make your business card truly stand out and work for you.
  You'll discover:
  • How much your sales will increase by using cards correctly.
  • The absolute required content on every business card.
  • A dozen things you can put on the back of your card to bring in business.
  • 9 Negative messages you card may be communicating.
  • More than 20 examples of REALLY good cards.
  • How to give out your card (Sound simple? It's not!)
  • 4 things NOT to do with your business card.
