The Future of Business Cards
Advent of technology has ushered in a diverse number of options for connectivity with the people around us. Facebook, Tweeter, Skype are some new innovations of technology. Earlier these could be accessed only from desktop. Today an android set or a blackberry set allows connectivity in every nook and corner of the world.
So pamphlets, posters, business cards are quite backdated. Drawbacks of these are that they are easily misplaced. Second, they cannot be made free of cost. Moreover lifestyle of people today does not allow them to physically go to places to attend meetings or conferences. Though nothing can be better than face to face interaction however workload snatches corporate from that chance.
So, free business cards seem to be a flop idea in this changing world in comparison to other marketing tools. But one should not forget these tools more affordable than advertising, conferences etc. so a better option would be if these cards can be digitalized. There is no reason to think that cards have a doomed future because they are still used however lost in the midst of other alternatives.
In fact many online business card designer companies have come up and they offer the cards free of cost. Not only that, these companies also allows clients to customize cards and download them for future use. Once the cards are made they can be used online by mailing them to people or can be printed out and used during personal contacts.
Moreover cards have acquired new dimensions and are popular among the various marketing devices. Though, their future might be dark but they will be continued to be used in future by business houses and mostly by local entrepreneurs.
