Creative Places to Leave Business Cards

The art of persuasion . . .

Was the last one to get it Jason Bateman of Little House On The Prairie and Silver Spoons fame?

My wife, Kristy, sells full color, thick, glossy Business Cards for only $49 for 1000 single sided cards -or- $69 double sided cards. $15 design fee if you don't have artwork already.

Not the cheap Vista Print type cards . . .

Can do 5000 cards for $99 / $119.

I would not waste your time leaving typical business cards around.

If you perhaps made up small postcard sized "targeted" marketing documents specific to an industry, maybe... but....I don't see the value either.

Best Business card I have ever seen, was a piece of Junk mail, but it came to my desk none the less. It looked like heavy card stock but ended up having a TV screen in it and when you opened it the prerecorded movie began to play. AMAZING! I showed it all over Social media and it went around the office 10 times, and it sat on my desk for a few weeks.

That sounds like my idea of rubber banding them to a rock and tossing them through people's living room windows.

(Then, when they call to ask why I threw a rock through their window, I could respond, "Just to demonstrate the randomness of the unexpected. What if that had been a bullet? Would your family be financially prepared for your sudden demise?" Then, naturally move to a life insurance discussion!)

You know that was a joke, right?

Hello fellow agents!

I know that we live in the age of Google but I'm curious to learn of some honest opinions where you feel leaving business cards would be a good idea.

I've thought about canvassing my local neighborhood and leaving my card wedged in the front door. This concept gets landscapers some business, though I'm not sure how successful. Perhaps some of you fine folks can share other places where you've had success?

Leave business cards with prospects and customers.

Or put them into fish bowls for lunch lunches?

I know a personal lines P&C agent with a 10 person office that's growing like crazy. Door knocking is his primary lead generation method. I wouldn't leave flyers, I would knock on the door.
