Communication techniques develop in leaps and bounds nowadays and I think we're beginning to see the end from the road for the printed business card as a means of introduction and get in touch with opportunity.
The idea of any leave-behind would be to convey a message which will stand out from the crowd. Well, I really feel that I can confidently speak for us all when I say all of the business cards I've been provided are in a drawer, in a folder and hardly ever appeared at. Why? If I felt the contact was relevant, its details have been entered onto the laptop contacts and the mobile phone contacts.
So as being a means of conversation, the business card handed to me has served a objective. But certainly, any piece of marketing collateral should work harder than a one-hit wonder! And that is what i viewing in my market place now.
As a supplier of promotional products and business gifts, we're seeing lots of companies delivering contact details inside a lot more innovative methods. Promotional notepads and promotional keyrings are now inside a similar price bracket to business cards and possess the capability to be retained by the recipient because they've a use.
But we are also viewing more innovative ways within the use of promotional merchandise. Ceramic mugs such as the Sparta and the Marrow mugs are now available in a relatively reduced price bracket and we are now seeing examples of how businesses are putting it’s large print areas to great use by such as person get in touch with particulars.!!!.not just logo and website!
And pens too! Plastic pens are the most cost-effective promotional product available and it’s not difficult to get an individual’s get in touch with particulars on a barrel and clip. Envision the perception when you hand more than a pen rather than a piece of card. You'll clearly stand out from the others!
Time will tell however the more forward-thinking of my clients are starting to set the tempo and it will be fascinating to see when everybody else follows!
