Business cards–are they important? /// Design Mondays

Business cards are are the lifeblood of any first meeting.

It not only shares the brand of the company, it also is the collateral piece that continues to sell potential clientele long after that first introduction is made.

That is why you need to have something memorable to leave behind and impress others.

  I think there is something to a business card with respect to creating a first impression and reinforcing a company's specific brand identity. The Japanese attach a great amount of importance to the exchange of business cards, including holding the card out with two hands, with the information facing the recipient so they can read it, accompanied by a bow of the head. Exchanging a business card is akin to giving something of yourself to the recipient, and they are expected to receive it with respect as well.
  The challenge is that, in a digital and mobile world, beyond that initial impression value the traditional printed business card has diminishing value. Cards pile up in desks, bags, rolodexes, and are not easy to retrieve information from instantly later when it is truly needed. How do we preserve that original first-impression and brand value, yet simultaneously be able to easily and quickly use that information in a digital world? There is a solution! (self-promo begins here) O-CODES are simple keywords or text-based codes that you can include on your business card, which allow the recipient of your card to receive your contact information on their phone via an SMS! Check it out here:http://www.ocodes.com . Let Fluid create your memorable and unique business cards for you, and include your very own O-CODE to make it easy for your new contact to get your information digitally on their mobile phone with a simple text.
