If you want clients to remember your company’s name, get yourself a smart business card like this one.
Jamie Wieck’s business card planter
The purpose of handing out a business card isn’t so clients will put them away in their wallets. It’s so they’ll look at the card once in while and remember your name. If you have a traditional business card, it will probably end up forgotten in some sad cardholder and will never again see the light of day.
London-based graphic designer Jamie Wieck set off to create a business card that’s different, original and attractive with the aim of encouraging clients to keep it on top of their desks rather than hidden in a drawer.
That’s how "Another Blooming Designer" came about. It’s a smart business card shaped like an envelope with seeds inside. These cards are not just seed containers; they also serve as a planter to keep on your desk. All you have to do is water them and wait for a plant to grow. Who doesn’t like having a small, easy-to-care-for plant on their office desk? Your clients won’t just be surprised by the idea; they’ll also remember you and each of your employees each time they see the plant on their desks.
We’ve also found other uncommon business cards on the Internet, such as the business card made of Lego figures. Can you imagine carrying dozens of little dolls and handing them out to your friends and acquaintances? Another clever, though not very durable, idea is the balloon business card. Clients will have to blow it up to see your company’s name!
