			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this economy, can an innovative or unique business card come across as frivolous and irresponsible? Is it possible to set yourself apart? It&#8217;s important that if you go the extra mile with your business card, that it fits into the context of your services. Below are some examples, clockwise from top left:offering freebies within the card, card mirroring the function you perform, long and skinny saves space and money, gilded edges remind us of luxury not lost, dental impressions cast a solid reminder, and reused cards can make sense for a second-hand store.</p>
<div id="attachment_1470" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.bizzia.com/brandcurve/files/2009/03/business-cards11.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1470" src="http://www.bizzia.com/brandcurve/files/2009/03/business-cards11.jpg" alt="business-cards11" width="500" height="765" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Business cards showcased on CreativeBits.org</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left">What about cards that have a look and feel like another object? Will they stand out from the rest of get lost in the bottom of a purse/brief case? I recently had the pleasure of manually scanning over 300 business cards in order to collect names and business information. At the end of the process, I had a handful of cards that could not be scanned. Though they sat apart from the other 300 cards, and I do recall passing the interesting ones around the office, I cannot recall if their valuable contact information was included in the database or if they remain in a pile, unentered.</p>
<div id="attachment_1471" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.bizzia.com/brandcurve/files/2009/03/business-cards2.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1471" src="http://www.bizzia.com/brandcurve/files/2009/03/business-cards2.jpg" alt="business-cards2" width="500" height="765" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Business cards showcased on Reencoded.com</p></div>
<p>Tomorrow we&#8217;ll look at guidelines for creating a business card, including what not to do &#8211; even if it&#8217;s creative and edgy!</p>
<p>In case you&#8217;re not already in the mood, here&#8217;s one of my favourite movie scenes of all time, Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in 2000&#8217;s American Psycho introduces his new business card to his peers:</p>
