Do you know that Business Cards are the main marketing vehicle for most types of businesses?  but, many business people and entreprenuers really don’t understand the value of their business cards or how to use them to generate massive return on investments (ROI’s).  In this article you’ll learn how to turn an investment of around ten cents ($0.10) into a massive ROI of 1,000% and more.

How to Turn $100 into $1000 
Let’s say you invest just $100.00 on 1,000 business cards.  When you do the simple math, this shows your investment for each business card is just ten cents.  If any one of these 1,000 business cards helps earn your business more than $100 dollars, the entire investment is covered.  And In fact, you only need 10 of your business cards to help earn just $100 each and then you’ve experienced a massive 1,000% ROI!

As you’re likely aware, with effective business card design and marketing you can get a lot more than a measly 10 of your business cards to help your business profit.  But for the purposes of this article all we are talking about is 10 cards: just 1% of your new stash of business cards.

Now considering that for some (especially smaller businesses) the majority of referrals and thus ultimately sales, come from business cards marketing over any other form of advertising, it’s really not too hard to realize that 1,000% ROI just described.

So why isn’t every business raking in clients and rolling in dough?

Unfortunately most entrepreneur’s and business professionals have business cards that just aren’t that effective.  They get tossed into the trash never to be seen again on the same day they are given out.  In fact, it’s about 90% of all business cards!  Yep 90%!  So 900 out of every 1,000 cards get a one-way ticket to the circular bin.  What a huge waste!  And such a shame because the simple secret to avoiding this fate for your business cards is of course is as I mentioned earlier: you’ve got to have great business card design and you have to use effective business card marketing strategies.

Here is a secret business card marketing strategy that will help you towards that coveted 1,000% ROI:

Make Your Business Card Useful!

If your prospect and clients have a reason to keep your business cards with them they are more likely to remember your product or service when they need or want it.  A great way to ensure top-of-mind exposure is to offer a special discount on your business card.  For example you could put the following on your business card: “Present this card and get an instant 10% off!” and assuming the proper prospects have your cards you’ll get a really nice surge in business.

Thanks for your time and I hope this helps with your business cards.
