In any business you will have transactions and you will build up relationships that will help you move forward. These initial impressions are often made by a shake of a hand and exchange of details. For decades this has been done with a business card containing all the details needed to create a good impression and to help potential clients find you. In modern times one might think that this is no longer a successful practice. – The truth is, a digital business card is a great way to make contact or confirm a new business relationship.
A business card is a great way of advertising and brand representation and if done professionally, will create a strong lasting impression.
Here are some tips for a successful business card:
