Here are just a few tips on how your card can generate new business:

• wear it as a nametag instead of the one handed to you at the door of a function
• use it as a nametag for visitors to your business if appropriate
• give it out whenever the opportunity arises - if you want to be subtle, ask for someone else's card first, then return the favour by presenting them with one of yours
• give out more than one and invite people to pass your cards on to others
• where appropriate, leave some with a related business (and perhaps offering to do the same for them)
• pin your business card on notice boards where appropriate
• always, always have some available

If you follow these few rules for using your business cards you will generate more business. Investing in good quality, professionally designed business cards will enhance your business marketing options.
