Default Business Cards

Hello. Dose anyone here hand out business cards in town centers and resturants and cafes? I have seen people do these before. However have they ever really worked.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Matthew.

I have not tried this yet. I guess if it was a local business. Handing them out in that town would get you some customers. Depends what it sells, and who wants it really.

Well like I said I have seen this been done before. However I have never actually tried this myself. I don't think I would need to yet. However in the future it may be needed.

Business do work. However that will depend on who, and where you hand them out. It will also depend on the type of business you have. You need to do some research.

If anyone knows a good website.

Can't find the ones I need anywhere.

I have never tried them. I have also never had a local related business. However I am sure that business cards are a great way to get some clients to your business.

As with any marketing activity, best results are obtained when doing something with your business or postcards that is outside the norm.

Think about it: you see plain-jane business cards every day. Same with resumes.

Just as a quick and easy way to set your resume apart is to use a splash of color print on color, higher-quality paper, so too will your business cards be set apart by a splash of style.

I agree. Having posters, and business cards that are competely different and a lot better then these everyday everywhere ones.

Totally agree.
