Tips for Distributing Business Cards
Pin them to bulletin boards at supermarkets, restaurants, retail stores and the library - everyplace that has a bulletin board.
Give out two cards at a time - one for your prospect or customer, and one for her/him to give away.
Place them in library books as if you used them as bookmarks. Visit bookstores place them in books associated to your business.
Wear them! Use them as nametags at meetings and conferences as an alternative of the "Hello, my name is ..." type of tags.
Hand write on the back your "unlisted" 800 number. This adds value to your card, making people keep it longer since they don't want to misplace the special number.
If you do seminars, print key principals on the back. Your attendees will refer to them afterward and think of you. If you do seminars, have your participants swap cards with each other. Have them write a kind word about the person on the back before they hand them out. One and all will have a large quantity of contacts; they will remember each other and it will also give participants a lift of confidence.
