Making connections and introducing your business is a crucial part of growing in your niche-specific field. Finding and making the right business card is a great start.
Most people these days connect on social media. There are a lot of platforms that emerged and became even more popular during the pandemic since we were forced to connect online more than ever.
Different business authorities and websites will often advise that you should be active on the internet in order to build your network and strengthen bonds with potential new clients.
We think that striking a balance of strong online presence and genuine connections will still do the trick. There’s no more sincere connection than a free conversation that may spark from one simple business card…As one of our lovely customers said, “My plantable business cards are such a great conversation starter at networking events!”
The business card culture remains alive up to this date. The grand exchange of cards is done at the initial meeting, almost like a ritual.
There are a lot of printing companies for you to get professional business cards done, but Paper and Bloom offers a unique and zero-waste alternative with plantable seeded cards that will turn into daisies. Hand your business cards over to your clients with pride, knowing they won’t end up in landfill!
There are two main factors that you may consider in planning to get professional plantable paper cards made:
1. Overall Design: This definitely is the first thing your client would notice. This could give the impression of how you do business. Your card’s design will give them a hint that you’re a professional, artistic, organised, or maybe emotional kind of person.
Paper and Bloom will partner with you to come up with a design that best represents your brand and your business. We will work together to achieve the desired design of your seeded cards.
Imagine a cool simple look printed on charming recycled paper with seeds randomly sprinkled on it. It will be the perfect conversation starter the minute you share what your card is made of and what you can do with it!
2. Information: The next thing to consider is what message your card will convey to your clients or colleagues. If the design gives the first impression, the message will still be the best takeaway from your card. This is what gives the card great value.
Other than the usual name and contact information, you may want to include your logo or a favorite quote that reflects your core values. Quotes like “Don’t Wait for the Right Opportunity: Create It. – by George Bernard Shaw ”, “If You Want Something You Never Had, You Have to Do Something You’ve Never Done. – by Thomas Jefferson” or “At First, They Will Ask Why You’re Doing it. Later They’ll Ask How You Did it.” – Anonymous” may just impress your future partner.
Paper and Bloom also suggests printing the planting instructions on the back of the card. This may spark curiosity in your clients and bring joy to them especially to people who advocate for sustainability and environment-related causes.
These small additional details will give a little more personality to your extra special plantable cards with seeds. These could be the seed you plant in your clients’ minds and that will give a ring to your pitch.
Our small business, Paper and Bloom, will make your cards stand out and we will guarantee three things:
- Your cards will be personalised because we will work with you to create a design that will fit your brand and values.
- They will be different! With all the necessary information in it, we also aim for an “Oh wahou!” effect by proudly printing the planting instructions at the back.
- They will be multipurpose! Once your clients have saved your contact info, what better way to get rid of them than to plant them, right?
