My friend Bob sells an entertainment video DVD for cats called VIDEO CATNIP. With every DVD purchased he includes a business card that the buyer can give to a friend saying “My Cat Loves Watching the DVD Video Catnip and I know yours will too!” This is a great way to stimulate a referral because it gives your referral partner an easy way to pass on your information. The card includes the product price, URL and a toll free ordering number. Think about how you might use a business card to encourage your happy customers or clients to pass the word about your product or service. Remember business cards are cheap so it does not matter how many are discarded, what matters are the few that actually get passed a long.
Having a referral business card is a really good idea that many businesses should imitate. It will really help increase productivity and profitablity. Thanks for the idea Reno.
When I ship items out I send a few referral cards with them, that way if people like the product they can pass one on, also if someone sees what they bought and wanted one themselves they can give a card for me, it has extended my business to places I never would have reached before a great idea for any business and a must have in my opinion.
This is a great idea to have a business card blog. You are the first blogger I see blogging about business cards. You post inspired me to take a look at my business card and now I see that I have to order new ones. My business cards is very corny compared to his. 🙂
One of my friends is a Vet and I recently helped her create her first blog. I’ll be sure to pass this one on to her. Your posting of other people’s work shows such a generous spirit. Thanks for the reminder.
great idea thanks

I just love the idea of the referral cards. I could definitely tweek this idea to use in my field. You may have “built a better mouse trap”.
