Business cards 'still effective'

A business card is still highly effective means of self-advertisement, despite the capabilities of mobile phones, email and social networking sites, it has been claimed.

Given that they are now so easy to order online, it is also easy for the self-employed or the homeworker to take advantage of their benefits.

The Boston Globe looked at paper business cards made by four established names: Staples, Papyrus, Paper Source, and Crane & Co.

It found a wide variation of styles, options and price – which illustrates that business cards are used by a broad range of people for different reasons.

"A business card is a huge reflection of who you are," said Dan Schawbel, a 25-year-old personal branding specialist.

He went on to say that everybody, including university students, should invest in at least one card.

Anyone purchasing such items may want also to consider the benefits of engraved corporate gifts such as business card cases.
