In the fast-paced digital era where we spend copious amounts of time glued to our smartphones and absorbed in social media, many are left questioning whether traditional business cards still hold any weight. The fact is, they still offer an attractive way to meet up and make a good first impression. In this article, we will uncover the insights of business cards and how can they enhance your networking with one of a kind corrugation custom packaging.

The Making of a First Impression: Consistency Across Touchpoints

With the amount of business card like products being shoved into your hand on a daily basis then it is imperative that you make yours stand out more than most. It's typically the first physical manifestation of your brand that a new client or partner will come into contact with. When you design your business card to match the style of graphics, colors and even shapes that are in line with what clients or future customers can expect from working with you, for instance as I have done on my cards (in video), this helps parties recognize one another positively. Your business card is a physical representation of your brand that will be held by anyone you interact with if given away alongside custom packaging or at networking events.

Creating a Connection in the Digital Era: Personalize Your Outreach

While most of our communication is digital, there will always be something to say about giving/receiving a business card. In a world which is getting digital day by day, they provide real connection between people making the experience authentic and trust worthy. A business card is more than information, for example because everyone you give it to knows a used-use protocol. You can insert a Human element by customizing your cards with something that relates to the audience like company back story, values or even personalized message. At a time when other interactions consist of emails and LinkedIn requests, there is something to be said about the physical exchange that elevates your business card into more than just new ways for people to remember who you are.

Business cards are the business networking staple, making them a must-have for any growing enterprise. Though it may not be as effective when gaining email addresses, business cards still present a classy way to express interest in someone you're getting to know outside the digital world, which can make all the difference for new networking hires. This is your first impression of potential clients, collaborators and mentors with an easy way for them to contact you after the event. Your custom packaging and business cards are strategically placed around your booth/display area, providing a consistent branded experience which turns heads and begins conversations. If you have a stand-out business card that people want to pull out at the end of your meeting and show their friends, or refer back to when they are going through piles of cards from all the other partners and competitors in your same value proposition space on Slack... well then - congratulations!

In the case of brand consistency, it can be accomplished by maintaining your identity on different channels.

Building a strong and recognizable brand requires consistency. We believe that your business cards need to convey multiple aspects of your brand identity which means they will fit nicely into the other tenets we have explored custom packaging and online. Each time you use the same logo, color palette and typography gives your audience visual clues that will ultimately reinforce who we are as a brand in their minds (meaning they can start trusting us). That means when customers come across your brand in different areas, from website to social media profiles and even spotting you on a business card or something similar every piece has coordinated information about the thrust of the brand. This not only reinforces brand recall, but also shows that you take your professionalism and detail-oriented practices to the next level.
