Use Your Business Cards | ||
|
Recently
I profiled a book by Ivan Misner called ‘It’s in the Cards’ in the
Must Read/Must See section – it is an excellent book.
Here’s an article by G. Lee Mikules, again encouraging the use
of business cards – this time to help promote your business website.
I believe that too many people underestimate the power of their
business card and I frequently come across people who just do not carry
them with them. I cannot
fathom why if they want to do business with people they meet – the
business card is a very effective tool! Use
Your Business Cards To Drive Loads Of Visitors To Your Website Need
more visitors, with money to spend, coming to your website or affiliate
page? Simple. Use your business cards. They're some of the most
powerful, yet often overlooked, advertising tools you have at your
disposal. And when correctly used, they'll increase your sales and
profits, reduce overall expenses and build tremendous prestige for you
no matter what or where your particular business is. Now,
as more and more people are doing business online, business cards are
proving to be an inexpensive, yet highly advantageous way of directing
‘interests’ people to your website. And in today's volatile business
climate, you need every advantage that you can get. Here's
four ways to grab this advantage now.... 1)
If you have cards already printed with your specific e-address on
them, use a highlighter pen and highlight the address before you hand
them out. 2)
If your e-address is not already printed on your existing cards,
then get a two line rubber stamp made up with your e-address on the
bottom line and - VERY IMPORTANT - a concise, benefit oriented
description of your site as the top line. Stamp this info on the
backside of each card before you hand any more out. 3)
If you don't have cards or, you need to get more made up, then
have the two lines I just mentioned, printed dead center on the cards in
the biggest possible type. Put your name, address, phone number, etc.,
in the bottom left-hand corner of the card in much smaller type. Reason:
People don't really care about you; only what you/your business can do
for them. So say it, and say it big! 4)
Start distributing your cards now. Don't wait until you're asked
for one. Give one to all potential business contacts. Put them in
Laundromats, airports, restaurants, hotels or wherever you go. Put them
in all your outgoing mail. Have some printed up postcard size and mail
them to your current list of prospects. Rent a mailing list of potential
prospects, etc. Think about different ways of getting your cards out
there then, go out and do it! Your
business cards are powerful, proven, inexpensive tools that can quickly
drive lots of interested visitors to your site. And by using any, or
all, of the suggestions I just revealed, you'll be pleasantly surprised
at the results. =================================================== G.

but proven, business building strategies. You can review his latest work

| Message from the Postmaster | |||
|
-----Original
Message----- Have you received a message like this and wondered what was going on? Just to give you some clues - the email was sent from postmaster @ your domain - you probably don't have any such address in use. |
If
this was a genuine message identifying a real problem, the information
would come from your ISP and they would more than likely shut your
account down till it was fixed. Note that the email is also signed off
the xyz.com team - who are they, if not you since you own the domain? Good thing your anti-virus program was working. Had it not been working and you had clicked on the document or link sent you, then the virus would have been unleashed and done exactly what the email said was already happening. I've received many of these and just take it for granted that it’s not to be taken notice of, but I forget that not everyone knows this. Thanks to the client who contacted me to ask about it! |
