    Happy Friday, everyone!

    For this week's poll question, we'd like to focus on business card design. We'd love to see what stations are doing these days.


    Would you share yours?  Just snap a photo of your business card and upload it here.

    Also, how often do you give out your business card?


    Thanks!

    Since I've been ad AE at this company for almost 26 years and I have clients that I've had on the air from the time I started to present day, I don't give out as many cards as other newer salespeople.  I think I average 1 or 2 a week.

    We cover two markets in Louisiana and I often ride with our salespeople, so I give mine out daily.

    As often as I am asked.  The QR code does two things:  acts as a logo, and links to a page on my website for complete contact information and e-mail addresses that would take three cards to list.

    I tend to hand out my cards most frequently at networking events, including BNI (Business Networking International) and Chamber Mixers. Also, I almost always leave a card even if the owner or person who handles marketing isn't available. Sometimes I write a personal note "Sorry I missed you" or "Have a great day" just to let them know I'm thinking about them as people and their businesses, and not just the business.

    I give mine out as often and whenever I can, just like candy.  They don't do me any good in my wallet, biz card holder or in the car.  The more "touches" I get with someone, the better...prospects, new or existing clients.  BTW...the printer goofed and forgot to put my email on the card, so I printed small address labels with my email and put it on the back of the card.  Didn't want to waste them.

    Having new ones made this week; will post the new design when I get them.

    Question:  What are your thoughts on having a photo of yourself on the card?

    Anyone doing this?
