My Pet Peeve of the Month – Weird Shaped Business Cards
I’m bringing this post back from the archives, because it drives me crazy. I know they look cool – those weird shaped business cards. Squares, skinny thin ones, or shapes like TV sets, cameras, books, or houses (if you’re a real estate agent.) But the truth is – they’re a real pain. They don’t fit into a business card folder, don’t play well with other cards in a stack, and generally are difficult to deal with.
I know – you’re going to say, “But Phil, you always tell us to be different and stand out from the crowd.” Yes, that’s important – but in a GOOD way.
Being annoying doesn’t help.
