In the old days, they were known as “calling cards,” and almost everyone who was well-bred and practiced proper etiquette carried them at all times; they weren’t just for business. Business cards in Grand Rapids and other major cities were also treated as a valuable possession, albeit one to be given away; proper gentlemen carried them in a special wooden or metal container.
This tradition continues in Asian countries, where businessmen present them in a very formal manner, using both hands.
They also pay a fair amount for business cards over there, as they did over here up until recently. Fortunately, you won’t have to pay a premium price for this small, but important marketing tool when you order your Grand Rapids business cards from the online Grand Rapids Print Shop.
Why You Need Business Cards
In Grand Rapids (just like the rest of Michigan), we have been going through a bit of a rough patch over the past few years. It’s tempting to say, “Why bother?” – but the fact is, at no time do you need to be promoting yourself more. And, with the economy starting to shake off its doldrums and new opportunities on the horizon for our state and community, you’ll definitely want to be ready for whatever doors open.
If you aren’t using Grand Rapids Print Shop to promote your local business, products and services, you should know that as a marketing tool, Grand Rapids business cards pack the greatest punch for the smallest investment of any form of advertising and promotion. In addition, they are quite versatile; though traditionally, business cards have primarily been about name and contact information, there is no reason why you cannot include brief product or service descriptions or even turn it into a coupon entitling the recipient to special discounts.
Of course, they are also quite convenient and portable (even if you do choose to keep them in a special wooden or metal container – which can be very impressive to colleagues), and unlike traditional media advertising, they keep working to remind customers of what you have to offer. Not only do people tend to hold on to them (some people even collect them in special binders or file boxes for easy reference), they can easily be left in strategic locations such as public bulletin boards.
