"Free" or DIY business cards may be a flag that the person you are talking to does not have much experience or resources. Not that this is an automatic deal-killer, a person's ideas are more important than their marketing collateral.

Business cards are not just a method of exchanging information, they are a peek inside the company's personality, and should be designed as such. A business that puts little to no effort in creating a business card tells me a lot about the company. Good stuff, Cynthia. I suspect that business cards may some day go mostly away, but I hope not.

I'd one more argument for business cards: they also tell me whether the person I'm just meeting wants to know me or just mine my data. The ones who ask for a card before they talk to you: bad form, but good for weeding them out. Best, Daria Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for the shout out. I’d one more argument for business cards: they also tell me whether the person I’m just meeting wants to know me or just mine my data. The ones who ask for a card before they talk to you: bad form, but good for weeding them out.

Best,
Daria
