Do you think this will work? ads on back of business cards

Do you think this type of advertising would work for online businesses?

 

Well apart from the issue of you blatantly spamming your own product....
I think it's a really stupid idea.
Business cards are basically an advert, a bit of promotion anyway. Who the hell wants to give out their business card, and promote someone else's business?

 

It could work, something new but If I personally want my business cards I would hate adds of some1 else on my cards

 

I agree with magda. It is not a good idea. Like they said, you use business cards to promote yourself why would you want a potentially unrelated ad on the back of your card? It would make you look cheap and unprofessional.
If you are cheap, you might as well get free business cards from Vista Print that only have their company company logo on the back because they printed it, not because they bought the spot.

 

My programmer has a roommate who is a computer tech., so I guess it could work in some cases.

 

lol true say, i agree with this, you took the words str8 outta ma mouth

 

Maybe you are missing the point.

I understand that some (most?) professionals don't want ads on the back of their cards.

I am asking if you think that putting YOUR AD on the back of OTHER PEOPLE'S business cards is a good idea.

 

I would say no but on a second thought it might actually works for some niches.

 

It might work but personally I will never want ads on my biz cards, will make me look cheap ...like I don't have money not even to get professional business cards...

 

Interesting idea. Will work if Bill Gates do that

 

Again, I am not saying that most people will want ads on the back of the business cards.

I am saying that ADVERTISERS will want to put ads on other people's business cards.

 

no way.I won't love to have that in my cards anyway.

But will surely keep my own website URL in the card.

 

It might be good if you ran multiple businesses and put your own ads on the cards. But me personally, I would not want someone else's ad on my business card.

 

Most people don't want ads on the back of their cards. But what do you think of putting your advertising on the back of OTHER people's cards?

 

It could work, I think you should go ahead and try it. You might start a new advertising trend here.

 

Yeah I agree. It would also look rather poor.

 

Yes, but what about putting YOUR AD on OTHER people's business cards?

 

well not much to say think magdasaid it all. nice one

 

I would do it. Of course.

One of the things I do is advertising, so I would find someone who has a business card, on, say, website design. We both compliment one another in that regard, so yes, it can work at times.

 

Biz cards are cheap so why would you do this? I think the idea is not very smart, I know I woiuldn't do it...
