Printed Business Cards

In this day and age, numerous types of people and businesses work exclusively in the cyber realm. Professional telecommuters are a growing trend in the world of work. Saving money on gas and increasing family time, the modern telecommuter is a working professional. Telecommuting business cards need to combine the traditions of professionalism and the modern cyber world.

The telecommuter’s business card should be cyber prominent. You have a variety of online addresses so be sure to include them. Include the address of any publicly viewed networking site, your personal and work e-mail addresses, your home page and a link to your online resume.

Include alias, initials, nicknames and cyber avatars on your telecommuter business card. You may want a client to see your graphic design work on one page without giving them the correct information to identify you. The easiest way to present this information is on the back of your business card with your hyperlink and code name or alias close together.

Cross promote your personal and professional sites when setting up your telecommuter’s business card. If you have limited space or don’t want to come across as too pushy on your card, include one main hyperlink with sub links embedded in the page. If you direct potential clients to a single site that can act as a jumping off point to viewing your latest projects, blogs and images you allow them the control of choosing where to go.

Making life easy for the potential client is one way of getting the contract.

Distribute telecommuting business cards with any client or customer correspondence from online auction purchases to job applications. Saturation is key when it come to being heard in the giant, seemingly endless world of cyberspace. The telecommuter must be consistent, diligent and follow through to ensure their business cards work for them rather than against them.
