I was at a recent luncheon during Martin Luther King day recently and just inside the entrance door to the luncheon I heard a man dressed in a nice business suit ask a young professional looking lady for her business card. She responded to the man by saying she didn't have her cards with her.
This past Tuesday at our office meeting, those of us that were on time were asked to place our cards in a hat for a drawing at the end of the meeting. There were actually 2 Realtors out of about 10 of us that were on time that did not have their business cards with them.
Early in 2007 I wrote the post Is there marketing 101 overkill? This Lady seems to think so. If you have not read this post it will amaze you what this Realtor has accomplished with the simple use of business cards. I guarantee you if you read this blog you will never take the proper use of business cards for granted again.
It amazes me how inexpensive business cards are and 1) How little thought most of us put into buying an eye catching card and 2) How many of us can buy 1,500 cards (to get a good price) and it may take most of us 3-4 years to go through that box!
Add a nice looking name badge to the look and you could be deadly!
Hellooooooooooooooo! How can we get our name out to the public with our cards in the box at our office or sitting in the car???!!!
