Accounting Business Cards

One of the first ways that people in the financial fields market themselves is the use of accounting business cards.  Accounting business cards are given out by Certified Public Accountants, bookkeepers and auditors as a networking method that is simple, effective and inexpensive.   

An accounting office is visited by clients as well as attorneys, notaries, paralegals and personnel from other professional fields.  Accounting business cards do the job of putting your business information at the fingertips of these business people.   When financial professionals make calls on their clients, they remember to bring a good supply of their accounting business cards along.    Giving these cards to the support staff will make their jobs easier, and make referring your company to others very natural.

Accounting business cards are most often printed in a conservative style and in a long-established format.  Accounting business cards from the 1960s can be nearly indistinguishable from cards printed yesterday.  They are usually printed on white card stock with a linen finsh, which looks rich but not ostentatious.  Often accounting business cards will be produced with a process called thermography, which uses heat to raise the lettering off  the card.

If you wish to bring a more modern approach to your accounting business card there are several ways to do it without losing the solid, respectable image that you want to convey.    Instead of thermography, use an embossed card.  Instead of the sober black and white of a normal accounting business card, introduce a subtle tone; perhaps grey or light blue. 

When you attend your next financial services convention or seminar, be sure to pack a large supply of your accounting business cards to use as a convenient and inexpensive networking tool.
