Business cards are little identification cards you can give to friends and acquaintances so that they have your details in case they wish to contact you. These cards can be put to more use than this and can become a way of advertising your business. If you were to hand them out to complete strangers to introduce your business to them it could become a powerful way of advertising.
You would have to print the name of your company in bold letters and what it is that you sell or what service you provide. The details of your company should be placed clearly in one corner. The physical address of your premises and all the relevant contact numbers is important. Print in color and bold font so that it is easy for all age groups to read. You could print a little map of the area where you business is situated on the back. This would leave the public with no doubt where your premises are.
The success of your advertising campaign will depend on the way you distribute your cards. Start in the area surrounding your premises and hand out your cards to passersby. It is inevitable that many people will pass by without taking one from you but it is also predictable that many will take one and read it and become curious about this new venture in town. The more people you make contact with the more feet you can expect will be going through your store.
Try targeting busy areas like shopping malls and train stations or bus stations. You will find a lot of people standing around waiting for transport and they will take a card from you and read it as they have nothing else to do. Most of them will remember about this new store and will want to visit it as some stage in the future.
These cards can be made to look like post cards. Print a supply of these and post them to potential customers that you think might be interested in your venture. Your goal is to make potential customers good customers. If you do not advertise how will any one know that you are in business?
