Knowing how to use business cards effectively can maximize their impact:
Be Prepared: Always carry a stack of business cards with you to networking events, meetings, and conferences. Present Them Properly: Hand out your business card with respect. Present it with both hands in some cultures to show respect. Follow Up: After exchanging business cards, follow up with the person to build a relationship. This could be through an email or a LinkedIn connection request. Store Cards Received: Keep the business cards you receive organized. Use a business card holder or a digital app to store contacts.
