Hi there! How are you doing these days? We hope that all is well at your end and that you guys are super excited to read the blog today – mainly because it touches on one of the most crucial topics of all time: are printed business cards still relevant!? We have a lot to say in this regard but before we do that, we would like to take a moment to thank you guys first, for the love and support that you send our way and for also making sure that your friends, family, and favorite colleagues are reading our blogs and making the most of them.
Okay so, before we dive into the topic of the blog today, we want you guys to know that printed business cards are here to say – even if companies and their employees like to shift to digital business cards. Because, you cannot underestimate the power of the human connection that you can get to build while exchanging your business cards with your future partners, clients, or even prospective employees and employers. That said, let us have a look at the relevancy of the printed business cards in the following part of the blog. Make sure that you guys read the blog till the end to know more and make informed decisions!
We are sure that you guys are pretty much available on almost all the digital and social media platforms that exist including LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. However, many people would like to build professional connections on X (formerly known as Twitter), and to be very honest, we are okay with everything that a business professional would like to do to connect with their future partners, and clients and then some more – as long as they are not trying to stalk anybody on the internet because you know, these things can creep others out even if you are okay with being stalked out by other people.

Many people are of the viewpoint that when we have smartphones and devices and while we are also present on literally social media accounts, then there is no need to invest our money in having business cards printed. Now, we agree with that to some extent but to be honest, that’s not entirely applicable to all situations; especially when you are meeting an individual or a group of people during a professional gathering. We would also like to add here that when it comes to communicating with others in real life when they are handing over their business card to you, you can get to know a lot about that person such as their business ethics, how they take their business or whatever they are doing and things like that.

So, if you ask us, we would not change anything about printed business cards. Guess what? We have the business cards that were handed over to us years ago. Want to know why? Because they remind us of the communication that we happened to have with the business owner or the individual. In most cases, we can easily recall the business name, what they sell, and where they are located as soon as we want to get something that falls under their business category. But that could only be us, you know? So, how about we have a look at the pros and cons of having printed business cards and then you guys can decide if you would like to have them (or not)?!
Pros:
- Printed business cards help you create a stronger tactile impression on others which will ultimately lead to improved conversations.
- Printed business cards are easier to exchange and the recipients don’t have to depend on a specific digital app to have a conversation with you.
Cons:
- Printed business cards *can* be a problem when it comes to keeping them all in one place.
- Printed business cards lead to a waste of paper and other resources.
- You will have to get new cards printed in case you make a switch or if your contact information gets updated.
