Put the Backs of Your Business Cards to Work

by Rena Larrañaga
Feb. 16, 2002

How many times have you handed a potential customer your business card, then watched them turn it over to look at the back? If there is nothing printed on the back of your card, you're missing a marketing opportunity.

Here are some ideas for the back of your card:

  • Print your web address again for emphasis.
  • Offer a discount. "Present this card for 10 percent off."
  • Give a detailed list of your products or services.
  • Print lines for notes. Then, as you hand your card to a potential customer, personalize it with, "Jan, call me about our new left-handed screwdrivers."
  • Include handy reference information that your clients will use regularly. This keeps your card in front of them many times. For example, toll-free airline reservation numbers, tip charts, metric conversions, etc.

You don't have to print new cards to take advantage of this marketing tip. Just print your message on address labels and stick to the back of your cards. This way you can change your message to fit your needs.
