My answer is NO! They are still an effective advertising medium, as they can be placed in phone boxes if they are working! Left in a bus shelter - posted through letterboxes - My favourite leaving place is on a CASH ATM

Close to the bank card slot. I designed my own business card with bold colours and QR code website address as well as a printed version at the bottom of the card

Feel free to comment on my design and blog post

Ich liebe die Spiele, die sie helfen, abzulenken, zu entspannen und mit Positivität aufzuladen. Habe eine interessante Bewertung zum Online-Casino gefunden https://slotier-casino.com/ Die Site informiert ausführlich über Boni, Spielautomaten, beliebte Spiele und Möglichkeiten zum Abheben von Geld. Alles ist in einfacher Sprache geschrieben, sodass es auch für Anfänger leicht verständlich ist.

Depending on your type of business and it's a mostly hands on job then I fine that business cards or even flyers are extremely effective still Graham!! :-)

Thanks Jessie for commenting on my business post, I have not as yet using flyers, but I might design one and use it as a online advert

Business cards convert really well when someone is interested in what you have to offer and you're basically handing it to them as a means of contact. There's always an off chance you could drop a business card somewhere and have a random person pick one up, but they're more valuable if you place them in a spot you know your target audience is at. As an example, leaving computer repair business cards where computers are sold, or a card for guitar lessons at a store where they sell musical instruments, etc.

That's why websites are so valuable, because you have the means of finding your target audience on a global scale right at the point in the customer purchase lifecycle where they're looking to buy. 👍🏼

Than you Eric for your input advice, I need to rethink where my target audience for free information might be

1

Free information is a massively broad niche. Is it free information about lawn care? Is it free information about digital photography? Is it free information about health and fitness?

You’d want to tighten that down. If it’s information about online business then you’d want to frame it as free training on how to start your own online business. If it’s targeting another niche altogether then frame it in whatever that target niche is.

Everyone out there has internet access, so ”free information” isn’t something that would draw anyone in because they already have endless free information in their pocket.

Be specific with the type of content they’re going to get and those who are interested will click through.

Thats a good point and helpful ideas. The title was from years agao whenit was Lots of free Info. Since the informatio I add is "Hombased work" I will redesign my cards and use my WA website to atract the right audience

I was thinking about adding a QR code to my business card but haven't done it yet. It also seems from experience that most people rarely use printed business cards to contact, communicate, or visit your website and connect with you in anyway.

I never thought of leaving them in a bus or ATMs. Great idea. Is it working for you?

I wonder if they misplaced them or just, they aren't just willing to connect.

Hi John, I can create a business card with a QR code for you, All I need is the URL of the site you want it to go to

I've been thinking about getting business cards with my website URLs on them. Your business cards are a great idea. I have stronger motivation to do it for myself now. MAC.

Thanks Mac, I'm glad my post has inspired you, let me know if I can help you with the QR code
