My message for years has been that business cards exist simply to communicate your contact information to prospective buyers of your product or service.

This simple and well conceived concept by Singing Bear Shop proves that business cards are alive and well even in the Internet age. An image of their business card has gone viral because it is clever but also because it succinctly delivers the essential message they need to deliver.

Of course I would prefer if it said what they do. Maybe they want to intrigue you enough to go visit and find out. That’s not a bad tactic but if you borrow this idea you might want to add a bit more information above the schematic or on the opposite side of the card.

Have you revisited your business card lately? What does your current card say about you, does it have all of your essential information?Have you ever shared your card on social media? If so send me a link, if not post it someplace and then send me a link, maybe I’ll share it, feature it here or talk about it on the web.
