This time around I’m adding a Social Media Twist to business cards and even including ideas for promoting your mobile initiatives! So, if you don’t already promote your Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc. efforts on business cards separate from your standard traditional BLAH business cards, let’s get you moving!
Now there aren’t a ton of social media business cards out there so bare with me as I try to walk you through ideas for creating your own social media cards using business card designs and images I’ve dug up from the web.
Already got great business cards? Please add your ideas to the comments or email me pics your amazing business cards and I’ll post them here! Seriously, you’ll find mine at the bottom and I’ll add yours too!
SOCIAL MEDIA BIZ CARDS >>
A couple quick things to note about social media cards in-particular. Simple to remember URLs, like the ones used on the card above, are extremely important! If you’ve gone to the trouble of registering the same name across all of your social networks, good for you! It’ll help keep your card clutter free or let you pack in as many social networks as possible! Like this >
Wow!
There’s so much clutter in print, so I am a HUGE fan of white space!
Business in front, Twitter in the back :-DNow THIS is a GREAT idea! Order "Post-it" notes with your Twitter link on them and stick them on your out going products and packages!Brilliant! Don't be afraid to be funny... but be very afraid if it's not funny:-DOk, maybe it's not "amazing" but it is well done and practical!
IDEAS / CONCEPTS for creating your own cards >>>
Great design for social media! Especially if you blog!Well, this is actually a virtual business card that would make an incredible real, multi-page, business card!Clearly this is a book and not a business card, but what a great idea for a vertical design! Do you offer information to your Linkedin connections? This would be a great way to showcase it!I don't think this is actually a business card, but it could be!Show off your best tweets or business info with a Twitter knock-off! This MS word knock-off is pretty clever!Here's a clever Google search biz card, what about Twitter search or Facebook "friend me" cards?Offer FREE WIFI? Talk about PERFECT! I'd add copy asking free WIFI users to friend us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter! This cut out would make any WIFI ad memorable!
Picture this: What if this card had a picture of a cell phone on it with your text/sms code? That extended design element would grab attention if it was the phone antennae! Twitter & Facebook info could go right there on the back!
Your Social Networks would stand out on the top layer with your traditional info beneath!Cloud computing anyone? Wi-fi? This is too easy, and the list goes on!
If you have unique product, or you’re an SEO company with a huge set of… uh… “confidence” then this is the card for you!
Offer deals on Twitter? Promote them, your mobile coupons or links to your web discount pages just like this!
Hope you enjoyed this post and run out to your printer (figure of speech) with some great ideas!

Good stuff Richard, I’m a social media consultant looking for business cards. Excellent timing for this post. :D
Thanks! I had you in mind when I wrote it;-)
Hopefully you’ll share the new design!

Great selection of interesting ideas. ‘Big Robby’ is a great idea – best of luck to keep ranked in the first page of google though. Seen any cards with 2D barcodes? Ive been playing with a barcode when scanned adds your details to the contact sheet – then click save. Needs a scanner though.
Great post! ill save it to rework some of the ideas for my next card.Nice one!
Agreed with the 1st page issue! The bar code would be cool, I suppose you’re limited to Android and iPhone 3GS phone at this time so QR codes would probably be a better bet. If anyone could jump in here, be my guest!
Thanks for the comment!
Great ideas! I’m in process of updating right now…
The website is under construction but the business card is up and can utilize mobile marketing right into it!
there’s some great ideas there, I reckon if one social media outlet is put one card might increase traffic, too much may be too much unless its for the very technologically minded

You should check out XeeSM.com.
It’s even easier to collect your various social media sites under one roof, like so: http://www.xeesm.com/EtienneHardre/
Easier to fit on a business card too!
