My last job gave me a box of business cards that was the size of a brick. 500? 1000? I don't know.
What was I supposed to do with them? We never met with anyone in person because of covid. I cut them into strips and used them to pick my teeth. When I left, the box was still in my desk and I had probably used 25 of them.
- iancmceachern 4y agoI have a whole box of boxes of 1000 business cards. I never use more than a handful.
- mitch3x3 4y agoSave them for your kids so you can tell them about the wacky things we did in the olden days.
- convolvatron 4y agoI used to have the opposite problem. supposed to carry around your cards everywhere? instant notecards. bored in a meeting? make a little maquette.
- Analemma_ 4y agoHa, I also once had a job which just gave me, without being asked, a box of business cards I never even opened. I just assumed that kickbacks from a printing company to a VP somewhere were responsible.
- Arrath 4y agoFor me my cards primary use is allowing me not to have to bother to memorize my work phone number. Either I give the card to someone so they have my number, or I always have a few at hand so I can read my number off to them.
- As_You_Wish 4y agoYeah....I've always had business cards for a long, long, long time ago. Always got 1,000 cards, but I'd work somewhere for 5 years and still have 995 cards left at the end. Meanwhile that huge brick took up valuable disk drawer real estate. Guess I could have thrown all of them but 50 cards away, but most people just don't for whatever reason.
