My two cents

Mark Marston

Connecting with people in a relational and memorable way can be difficult at conferences and conventions, especially for introverts or initially shy people. I've started this blog to encourage discussion of how to network at conventions, to remember and be remembered. I own a business card company with several domain names. ReferralBusinessCards.com, BestBusinessCards.com and AfastBusinessCard.com. My perspective on a business card is that it should be the focus of A LOT of time and attention, after all, it goes before you and represents you in almost every interaction, an ambassador of sorts. It should almost always have your picture on it. So should your email. Humans are relational and we remember so much more when we have a "face to go with the name" right? Let your business card become a component of your first impression that strengthens and enhances it. And give your business card the strength and durability that it will need to last long and be there for you for the long haul. This is good advice for anyone who needs a business card. Please feel free to comment and thanks for visiting! --Mark
