Spread The Word With Business Cards

"It is not how someone else does something, it is how I do and make it happen!"
Carrie T. Weber


If you don't have business cards you are wasting a cheap opportunity to get the word out about your business. I recently got 2 sets of business cards from Vista Print http://www.vistaprint.com They were free! Yes free! You get 250 cards free and you only pay a small shipping fee. I paid 5.25 for shipping. Then a few weeks later I got 500 premium cards for $2.99 +shipping. You can design your own card and put whatever you want on them. They also ship worldwide.

You can use your business cards to advertise your SFI gateways. I put the free gateway on mine. Give them to everyone and leave them everywhere you go. Say you're not creative? Can't think of what to put on them? Check out the marketing aid section and use some of the slogans here https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/AffiliateMarketing.sfi.

Here are some creative ways to give out business cards.


Leave cards in in your used magazines if you leave them in places for others to use like doctors offices.

Place them in library books as if you used them as bookmarks. Visit bookstores place them in books related to your business.

Put a card in any bills you mail.

College Campuses! Dorms & Housing Students are always looking to spend money! A lot of college students are also looking for an extra income so target them with business opps too.

Have your spouse, family, and friends carry some of your cards with them in case they meet someone who might be interested in your product or service.

Ask neighborhood businesses if you may display your cards near their registers.

Place some on the table when you leave a restaurant.

Tack them to bulletin boards at supermarkets, restaurants, retail stores and the library - any place that has a bulletin board.
