Stop Designing Your Own Business Cards!

Picture yourself at a networking event... how are you planning to connect with potential clients? With an artfully customized, physical business card, or with a digital business card app? Handing someone your business card is a great way to form a professional, personal connection. They'll remember the connection that was built with them and your card will be used as a physical reminder when they put it in their purse, cupholder, or pocket. With a digital app such as Popl, the personal connection instead turns into a quick scan of a QR code and rifling through a bunch of contacts later. Read on to discover the five key reasons why tangible business cards hold the key to your success in our digital world.

1. Clients can easily get in touch with you

Physical business cards beautifully display your business name and contact info which makes it easy for potential clients to reach out to you. When you're out and about, you can even drop some cards off at other local businesses to get the word out about your brand!

On the other side of the coin, Popl is an app that serves as a digital networker and stores contact info. While at face value it's convenient, what's more memorable? A connection over contact info inside an app or something personal and tangible that you can feel and pin to your fridge or corkboard?

2. Make first impressions with confidence

Giving someone your business card is like introducing them to your brand. A customized design that seamlessly integrates with your brand identity makes an impact. Social media is a useful tool when promoting your brand, but the cherry on top is connection. Personally giving someone your business card will stick with potential clients more than a social media post they saw that morning. Tangibility matters. Additionally, the interaction you have while handing out your business cards helps put a face to the brand.

3. Consistency

Business cards are an extension of your digital presence. A design that matches your website or social media boosts brand recognition and engagement. Brand consistency builds trust and professionalism.

4. Quality

When you hand someone your business card, you want them to admire it and say, "Wow!" , right? High-quality design comes in all forms, but there are components of print designs that make a bigger, more personal impact. When you're handing out a business card, one of the first things potential clients will notice is the paper quality. Flimsy paper is not professional and may turn potential clients away. High-quality paper helps make a great impression on your brand while also displaying your professionalism. Not only high-quality paper but added elements such as raised print or foil can make your business card pop and stand out among the rest.

Another thing to think about is where you get your business cards from. Always go to your local printer vs VistaPrint, for example, because in addition to supporting a local business, you'll be able to form a one-on-one connection with that business and get the best for your brand.

5. Stand out!

Stand out from the competition and attract new clients! Your vision is unique, and a business card should reflect that. Having a professional, tailored business card is not only eye-catching but keeps your brand's visual identity at the forefront.
