When you think about business cards what image immediately comes to mind? For me, its a basic small piece of paper with a person’s name, company name and a couple of addresses and numbers on the front. This is true for most standard business cards.

Using Chinese Business Cards Translation
Chinese Business Cards Translation means two-sided business cards. These are not typically used in the West, but are very common in Asian countries - particularly China, which is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
In China, business people carry cars that are printed on both sides. One side is in the international [...]

Following are the set of business cards ranging from traditional to wacky. -- Despite my aversion to novelty cards like the one above, I admit they’re still fun to look at, mostly as good examples of what not to do.

Business cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver's name, company affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s), e-mail addresses and website. Traditionally many cards were simple bla

Have any of your seen that article that claims SAHMs should earn a salary of over $100K a year. Of course, I'm all for that but for such a highly paid position one should at least have some sort of calling card. Right? I thought this was THE neatest idea for moms....Playdate Cards....which to me seem more like business cards for moms. Just hand them out whenever you meet a new friend. Makes sense

In a city filled with so many business professionals, one must carry business cards at all times. Why? I doubt you want to give your personal number to everyone you meet. It irks me when I see people rummage through their bag to find a freakin' business card. Arg. Give me a break. In this day and age, if you've managed to become a professional, then you MUST travel in style. That means everything on your person needs to be in its rightful place. Business cards SHOULD, I repeat, SHOULD be carried in a card case. Having your business card in a card case not only makes you look more important and put together, it also allows you to find it your cards faster. Instead of buying the generic silver card case, why not show some personality with a leather case or a splash of color and you initials.
Business cards are a very popular way of providing your contact information to others. Business cards are used for a variety of reasons including promoting your service or advertising your business to others and are an extremely important tool. In our busy world, it is often inconvenient to write down someone's information. Being able to simply exchange cards with all that information is very quick and easy. It allows the accurate information to be accessed over and over again. How many times have you wrote down a phone number and put it away? The next time you pulled it out, you couldn't remember what the number was for. Business cards eliminate that from happening.What should you put on the card?It is important to make sure all your important contact information is on your busi

A Collection of Not MuchI woke up at 6:37 AM. My surroundings are surreal and the silence is deafening. Thoughts quickly transition from one subject to another and rarely make any sense. This is what happens when I don't get enough sleep.For Texas, today will be cold and rainy. It's forty degrees out and that's not expected to change much. Rain is expected, also. In my dreams last night I traveled to a different place and time. To place I used to love but in the dream it was now derelict; left for abandon. We conspired about how to destroy it...this beautiful structure could not be debased like this. Like a once-magnificent racehorse, it had to be put out of its misery. What made me dream of this place? Of these people? It has been ages.The sun has risen, and it's time to stow the old dreams away and lay the foundation for new ones.
When I was a kid, my grandfather used to tell me something was “handier than pockets on a shirt.” The phrase stuck with me, obviously. Today I realized the only thing handier than pockets on a shirt was something that would FIT in the pockets of a shirt. No, not a pocket protector for my pens, but a business card.
Let’s say I meet up with Mr. Online Success and I want him to remember my idea. I write it on my business card. When you write a note on the back of your business card, hand it to a person and then you see them stick the card in their shirt pocket, you know it’s going to be saved and looked at. Notes written on napkins, legal pads, or other size pieces of paper just aren’t going to be saved, they’ll be discarded *blammo* as soon as you walk away.
What does your card say about you? Mine says successful, dependable, legitimate.
That’s why I have business cards. For identification by the prospective client, for the “give away lunch

Gotta catch 'em all - Card-e-mon!My wife got her business cards the other day from her school and it made me think... Business cards aremore than a necessity out here, it's a way of life. Every professional job I've had out here, whether I was an English Teacher, PR Account Exec, Law Firm Consultant, or a Radio Presenter, I was always given business cards. Even when I attended Nanjing-Hopkins, the school had business card templates for all it's students to use.Networking is a big thing out here. In Chinese, we use the word chuan zi to describe one's circle. What's more impotant that your circle are your relations with those in that circle, or your guan xi. Business cards here in China are a means to having greater guan xi and make you more powerful, smarter and cooler a.k.a. gain mian zi or face.Let's say I, a foreign Chinese language radio show host, met a successful Chinese CEO out here in China and we exchanged business cards. Our meeting and business card exchange was as far

Business cards help advertise your business offline and can be passed around by people. There is a website that serves just this purpose, which is GreatFX, Business Cards.When I first visited the website, the first thing I notice was the logo. It looks nice and simple and also kind of eye catching. Well, GreatFX is a very unique general name because it does not say anything, which allows for expansion into other business later in the future, which is smart.The layout of the website has these two buttons, which make it easy for user to get directly into the action, which is to create their business cards. It felt comfortable just seeing the website initially. It does not seem at all hard to navigate the website. Each link leads you to what you are expected to see. For example you want to design your own business card, there is a very big silver button at the center of the page called, "DESIGN ONLINE". Just click on it, and pick the style of business card you want and then you ca
Let us assume that you already have received your brand new business cards. Chances are you spent money to get them. Why then would you waste that money by ineffectively distributing business cards?Before we begin, you will want to make sure that your business card contains your full name, your company name, you position/occupation in the company, and any and all contact information (including your company address, office phone number, cellular phone number, fax machine number, and e-mail address). You might want to refrain from giving your home phone number unless you run a home based business. If you have a beeper, give this number also. The point is that you want to make it very easy for your client to contact you whenever he/she needs to, during working hours. Additionally, you want to keep your business card clean-looking and to the point. The point of a business card is to give some very brief information about your position and contact numbers. Now is not the time to pre

Japanese company has become with a original idea about business cards, they print business cards on peanuts. Sure, great idea, but the durability will not be to long as a business card.Taberu Me cards are created using Arigatou’s high-grade CO2 laser engraver nicknamed “Shiawase-kun,” which can etch up to 700 characters per second on hard organic materials like beans, nuts, rice and pasta and which has been optimized to print clean-looking logos, names and telephone numbers on the irregular surfaces of peanut shells.a set of 150 Taberu Me cards costs 5,800 yen (around $50), which is mere peanuts considering the lasting impression you will make on your new counterparts.Source & Image:pinktentacle
As there are still quite a few people who live in the real world they happen to use real world things, an done thing that still goes around in business circles is the humble business card, now many of us have draws or folders full of these, but if we need to contact someone we use other methods, but that could be a thing of the past.
Neat Receipts have a developed a scanner that will scan business cards and transfer the digitized data to your laptop or PC straight into outlook or whatever address book you use, which is great, we can now get rid of all these bits of paper and just the business card every time someone hands one over.

flangracneig pgoramian I had a good night last night, I almost didn’t go out. Was fun, doing a mini pub crawl around Llandudno. Llandudno’s quiet on a Friday, which is good - Saturday night is always heaving. Anyway, I drank a little bit of alcohol, and actually ended up taking home more money than I spent! Always good when that happens - thanks largely to Catchphrase on the itbox. To borrow a quote from my mate - “It loves to pay out!”.
Anyway, I found a cool new site called bla.st, it’s an online directory of ‘cards’ - Business Card style graphics. Anyway, you upload a ‘card’, and it gets displayed on a page according to how much you spend on ‘advertising’. Of course, you can spend - like me - a big fat $0. It just seems like a cool concept, kind of a bit like that Million Dollar Home Page (the bastard).
