Business cards are an effective marketing tool because they are a convenient size that fits neatly into a wallet. Instead of restricting yourself to just putting your name and contact info on your cards, use some of these unique ideas to make your business cards stand out from the pack.

Loyal Customer Cards
You can put your name, logo, and contact information on one side, and a place to check off purchases on the other. Then you offer a discount once the card is filled up. This type of card helps to keep customers coming back to your store instead of the competition’s. Check with online business card printing companies for different formats, such as foldover business cards.

Cards with Coupons
You can also print a coupon on the back of your business cards. Or, you could just print coupons in the size of business cards. Since they fit neatly into a wallet, people are more likely to save and use them. Many online business card printing companies let you print on the back for only a little extra.
 
Business Cards as Name Tags
If you are hosting some kind of business or community event, you can print name cards the size of business cards and put your logo and web address in the corner. Make them look attractive by using colored paper stock or, even better, full color and full bleed printing.

Business Card Greeting Cards
For a new take on greeting cards, you can send business card sized greeting cards throughout the year. Include them with your other mailings for a fun touch.

Foldover Business Cards
Foldover business cards offer lots of possibilities. They double the size of your card, while still allowing people to fit them into their wallets. You can include many of the above ideas in one card. Put your name and contact information on one-fourth of the card. Then you can include other items like a map to your location, tips related to your industry, a calendar highlighting your sales events, coupons, and anything else you can think of. Look around for an online business card printing company that offers foldover cards at reasonable prices.
