One of the most commonly used advertising method in the business world is the distribution of business cards. This has been effective, in some ways, as it not only allows you to meet potential customers in person, but you are leaving them with a reminder of your conversation.

This has been a very effective method for many companies over the years. Business owners prefer this method because it is personal, since contact needs to be made in order to hand the business cards out, and it also combines word of mouth and promotional advertising. When their employees, or themselves, hand a potential customer one of their business cards, they have not only spoke to this person about what they can offer them, but they have given them an item to refer to down the road when those services are required.

Although business cards are very effective in many cases, the investment you make may end up in the trash. After all, business cards are made out of paper, therefore they often do not last very long. Many times a business card will be thrown in a pocket and washed with the laundry, placed in a bag and tossed when the bag is cleaned or even used to jot down notes and numbers since it serves as a handy piece of paper.

A solution to this problem is to purchase promotional magnets. These magnets are great and can be purchased in various sizes, from business card size and larger. With a promotional magnet you can imprint all the same information that your business card has on them, and they will last a lot longer. When an individual receives a promotional magnet, they place on the proper surface for it to stick and there it stays.

So instead of distributing business cards to those that you and/or your employees speak to, hand them a promotional magnet instead. Not only will the promotional magnet have an impact on those that you distribute them to, but to everyone that see it. If the magnet is placed on the refrigerator in a home, it will be seen by all guests that enter and go into the kitchen, if it is placed in an office it will be seen by all that pass or walk inside. A promotional magnet is much simpler for your potential and current customers to keep track of as well. Therefore they will not lose your information and need to look you up on the internet, where they may come across one of your competitors and decide to call them first to see if they can offer them something better.
