Most professionals hand out dozens of business cards. Whether networking or meeting with prospective clients, it’s easy to go through many business cards quickly. The savvy business professional understands that their business card creates a first impression about their business and that professional. It simply makes good business sense to “go green” with your business cards.
It’s not just the touchy feely business that is going green today – from Fortune 500, small companies and solo entrepreneurs are all doing their part. Every effort you take to helping the environment makes a difference. There are many easy and convenient choices a business professional can make – including choosing green business cards – that make good business sense. In many circumstances the cost of going green is equal or comparative to doing business as you’ve done before.
The business that has green business cards and practices will likely be seen by others as one that cares about its community and is not wasteful. Every business wants to make a positive impression and going green is an excellent way to create a positive buzz about your company that simply keeps buzzing. Many people prefer to buy products and services from green companies. Some will even go out of their way to buy a product or service that is green than one that is not.
Having green business cards is just a start – but it is a great step in the right direction. Some who are new to green business practices may wonder if they can still get all of the great options they’d expect for their business cards. You can! Expect high quality full color printing on both sides or the option to have full color on one side and black ink on the other side. Best of all, you’ll have a variety of fine paper choices for 100% recycled paper for your business cards.
But business cards don’t simply become “green” by just using recycled paper. You also want to be sure they use soy-based ink. Check also that the paper is FSC-certified so you know it is completely eco-friendly. Your paper can be glossy or uncoated, depending on which style you prefer.
Imagine attending the next business function with your green business cards. Anyone will easily admire how attractive they are. Best of all, on 100% recycled paper and with soy-based ink you’ll know they are doing their part to be environmentally friendly.
