This is a 2-3 minute activity that involves those at the meeting.
You will need to read it through beforehand and be prepared.
What you say out loud to the group is in larger type in bold.
Purpose: To demonstrate ways to use a business card.
———————————————————————————————————
Start by asking the members…
How many ways can you nominate to use your business card to promote you and your business?
Wait for responses. Recap on 4 or 5 of them.
Pick out the best 2 and get the member up front to explain in a little more detail how they implement their idea.
Then say there are are some great ideas there!
Will ………. and ………… come up the front and explain their idea in 30 seconds please?
Thanks ……….. and ……………….
We appreciate your ideas.
Some other ideas you can mention, if they have not come up already, are:-
1. include a card with every account payment that you make by mail
2. get a card holder and leave it full of cards at the desk of any business place that will take them
Can you think of some places?
3. give two every time someone asks you for one… and then ask them to pass on the extra to a friend who may need your service/product
4. place one under the windscreen wiper of any business vehicle you walk past with a handwritten invitation on the back to contact you if they could use your services.
