Did you know that it’s powerful to have a business card?
Why do so many people have business cards and not
own a business? Will some of you have to market yourself
in your respective communities after leaving the military?
Let’s address how having a business card can benefit you.

What are some of the benefits of having a business card?

1. Shows professionalism
2. Look more confident to receiver
3. People are more prone to keep your card
4. Raises your self image
5. Great networking tool
6. People collect business cards
7. Great follow-up tool for a job, etc.
(Staple to resume or cover letter)*******
8. Can list your expertise on the card
9. Great at Career Fairs*******


There are so many different advantages to having your own
personalized business card, even if you don’t have a business.

How would it look if the following was to take place?

“Hi Jeff, it was really nice speaking with you today. Here’s my card.
How may I reach you?” “Here’s one of my cards. Let’s stay in contact.”

Sure beats looking for a pen and looking for something to write on.

Below is a well known business card web site. If you like
the information at the site, pass it to a friend.
