I admire your articles Mark. The simplest things we ignore and you make us realize their importance with such an article. You talked about paper business cards but these days we are also using paperless business cards in an online world. Emails are normally sent with business cards attached. The documents exchange over the Internet also includes exchange of business cards.

Business cards mainly have business information about a business or individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and give memory aid. I always had the appreciation for the importance of business cards but I never realized that it could be used as an effective marketing tool also. This is like enlightenment. I never looked at business cards from marketing angle but I cannot disagree with you that these are really cost effective marketing tool for their staying power. People throw away pamphlets and catalog but they retain business cards.

I totally agree with you that Business cards are very important. However, it is also a fact that business cards are the most ignored area and most of business cards are ill designed and not quite informative. This article will really help entrepreneurs to appreciate the importance of business cards and hope many of us will give a relook to our business cards. Great article. Little things make great difference and we often ignore the little things until someone mention and remind us of those things. I never thought about the importance of business cards until I read your article.

Business cards are the easiest way to make people aware what you are and what you do. Your article has rightly pointed out that even in this era of information overload, business cards are very important. However, most of us do not understand the real importance of business cards and do not pay much attention to what details one should include. A thoughtful and differentiated business card always catches the eyes of the people. Since you never know where you can find a chance to grow your business, it is always good to carry some business cards even if one is going for a social gathering.
