Itty Bitty Business Cards – An Eco Alternative to the Traditional B Card
A trendy friend of mine gave me one of her new business cards yesterday and I was immediately blown away. These tiny (1” x 2 -1/2”) alternatives to large bulky cards are chic, obviously eco friendly and so right for today’s entrepreneur.
If you, like me find yourself the proprietor of a business…or more frequently businesses that can get hard to cram into a traditional format you may like these tiny cards. Counter intuitively, the lack of space is freeing. Rather than having to decide which information is the most important, these cards leave space for little more than name, phone, URL and e-mail address, so no decision is necessary. (Though I did cheat and include some type on the photo I selected for the back.)
More importantly, the entrepreneurs responsible for developing these tiny cards saw the renewed interest in old fashioned calling cards. While years ago, calling cards were a standard accessory of the well mannered crowd, as more and more of the formerly jobless (older men and women, mothers, trust fund babies) went to work, the standard business card replaced the “calling card”.
