Business Cards And Little Programs – Kitchen Table Talks

For this, our next in the Kitchen Table Talks series, I’m going to emphasize a point I was trying to make about business cards: namely, we shouldn’t just hand them out willy nilly. We do it because we’re not sure what else to do. But we don’t always need to end a face to face interaction with trading business cards. Here’s more:

People always ask which camera I used to shoot my video. I use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 (that’s a review of the camera).

    You make a good point, Chris. We shouldn't just have the “business card elbow” when we're at events, though I'm a little more conservative with the hugging. I've linked to this and started a discussion on our Help Wanted forum. Check there to see what others think about the best time to hand over the card.

    I do agree that business cards are not the end-all that they once were. But I believe a business card does still have legitimate use as a complement to an engaging interaction. That way, you have a quick and easy way to exchange contact info, in order to further build upon the relationship that was started.

    Again, Another great Kitchen Table Talk. My wife and I have business cards but rarely pass them out. Partly because we forget partly because I hate to bombard people with our card. It is nice to exchange cards if it is the first time I am ever meeting that person..

    What I want to know is why you didnt think to include the other side of this issue? There are so many things that youre missing here that I dont see how you could actually form an intelligent opinion on the subject. Its like you didnt even consider that there me be another side here. Im kind of disappointed.
