Your Biggest Little Advertisement - Your Business Card

What is the smallest, least expensive, yet most important promotional device you have? If you thought, "business card," you're right! In a minimum of just seven square inches, you can present who you are, what you do, how to contact you, what kind of business you have and much more. Though small, your card says more than just the basic information about the business. Your business card should include as much of the information on the right as applies to your business.

If you answer "Yes" to all the evaluation questions, congratulations, you have a great business card!

To read more about using business cards as a marketing tool, click here!

If you would like to have your business card evaluated, attach a high resolution scan of your card to an email. Click here!

If you have other tips for improving the perception of your company, them for a chance to win a free copy of The Edge Up.
