You will get a lot of business from your business cards, but only if people do not throw them out. You only get business if people look at the card once you walk away. To increase your chances of you getting this kind of attention, it's in your best interest to get a proper, interesting business card. One option that would be in this bracket is a transparent business card.
Imagine handing somebody a completely clear business card, with all of your details on it. It's so innovative and neat that you might even have to give away two per person for them to share it with a friend! Without a doubt, it's an impressive type of business card, and it is really good value.
Another reason that you would really benefit from possessing a transparent business card is that it's a great conversation starter, an ice breaker if you will. For instance, there is always that awkward pause after handing someone an ordinary business card (if they're not interested). They'll look at it and smile, and give it the old glance over. What they're really thinking is, great - more useless cards to stick in my pocket.
Among the coolest parts regarding the transparent business cards is that they are made of very lightweight and thin material. It's very neat to hold in your hand, and has a very smooth feel to it. For colours, you can get the clear business cards tinted in various colours - adding a lot more versatility and coolness to your business card.
All sorts of different professionals may opt to use transparent business cards, just for the individuality factor. Other professions, however, might want to use them for another reason. Consider any job that deals with water or the beach. You wouldn't like a cardboard business card getting wet, because all that's going to happen is that it will get ruined, nasty, and chucked in the nearest trash can. A water repellent, tough and sturdy transparent plastic business card is reliable and built to last.
An excellent transparent business card that I saw had palm trees embedded in it, with beautiful printed writing in a nice font. It was something which looked slick and professional, even though the same design on paper could have looked a bit tacky. Definitely a huge thumbs up for transparent business cards, and they are generally a lot cheaper than they look.
