Many of us do so much work online that it’s easy to forget that it’s still so important to have real, physical business cards on hand when you’re on the go.
When you’re a business owner you still talk with people when you’re running errands, waiting for your table at a restaurant, sit in the dentists waiting room, etc. and a business card is the perfect exclamation point to your “elevator” pitch. Imagine this scenario: You’re waiting in line at the supermarket and the woman standing behind you compliments your purse and you strike up a conversation. When she asks you what you do, you deliver your pitch. She’s impressed and mentions her sister has her own business and really needs help with what you do. “Do you have a business card? I’ll pass it along to her.”
You  r e a l l y  don’t want to say “no.”
This is just one example of a possible real-life situation where a simple conversation can turn into business. So be sure you never leave home without your business cards. It’s also great to have them on hand as a leave-behind at your favorite coffee shop, the indie shop you frequent, or to have them when a friend asks for one.
