2. Classic Business Cards
Of course, one day or another, we will do all our shopping with our phones or smartwatches. But for now, the little plastic cards are still the game. Which means everyone you meet probably has a wallet full of business cards on them.
Although the size of bank cards is a bit smaller and a bit larger than regular business card, bank card type business cards will fit easily into a space designed for credit cards.
This is not only convenient for your contacts, but also for you, because you too can easily keep one or two cards with you.
However, there are two main drawbacks to this: on one hand, these cards will not fit in a classic card holder, and on the other hand, they will stick out a bit from a pile of business cards, but this last point can also be seen as an advantage.
