Business Card Myth #1: Internet Marketers Don’t Need Business Cards
I am an Internet Marketer (sounds like something you’d announce at a 12-Step meeting, doesn’t it?)
At least by MY definition, that means most of my business efforts are confined to the Internet. I work at my computer most of the day. I work from home.
Many of my clients, prospects and website visitors don’t live in the same state, much less the same country.
My friends and neighbors, by and large, have no idea what I do because they don’t see me do it and because Internet Marketing is such a nebulous concept to most of them anyway.
If that describes you too, do you still need business cards? I mean, for something besides dropping into fish bowls to win a free meal at your favorite restaurant, or that 46″ garden tractor at the upcoming Home and Garden Show?
(Come to think of it – I DID win a Fisher-Price Play Kitchen once by dropping my business card into a bowl at a local McDonald’s restaurant. It was a great Christmas present for the kids, and worth much more than I spent on my business cards.)
But anyway – YES, you DO need business cards! Maybe not 5000 of them – but some.
The bottom line is that you never know when you’ll need an easy, portable, and LEGIBLE way to give your website address to someone else. Scrawling the URL on a napkin isn’t cool, trust me. You might just run across a local person who’s a great prospect for you, or a great referral source, or a potential JV partner. You might run across such a person in an airplane or while on vacation or at your mother-in-law’s house.
You just never know when you’ll meet someone to whom you’d really like to give your website info, in a presentable, professional way.
And when that happens, you’ll be glad you made that small investment in business card printing.
