Nothing speaks volumes about the passion that you have for your company as a personalized business card holder does. Essentially, every time you are taking out a business card to hand to a new contact, you are also showing them that you care immensely about your work. Additionally, if you have an attractive or eye catching card holder then it can be a great ice breaker and conversation starter when you are networking at a conference or a trade fair.
A variety of business card holders
There is a great variety of business card holders on the market and all of them can be personalized in a way. In many stationery and bookstores, you can find business card holders that have common names on them. They are usually made of leather or plastic (the commonly available ones) and regularly occurring names are printed on them. You can find your name by looking through the alphabetical list of names.
Business card holders can also be made of other materials such as metal, wood or even fine metals such as gold, copper, silver or bronze. Metal and wood business card holders also have the additional advantage that you can engrave text or images into them. The business card holder can be plain metal or wood, or have an ornate design on it.
There are also business card holders that you do not carry around with you, but they are used back in the office on your table. The purpose of these is to store business cards that you have received from others. You can organize them alphabetically. A cheaper version of this business card holder is to staple business cards that you receive to a rolodex card and sort them alphabetically.
How much will it cost?
A good personalized business card holder will usually cost at least $20. Prices vary greatly and the finer the materials the greater the cost will be. Leather business card holders should cost about a hundred dollars and gold and silver ones will be significantly more.
If you’d like to have a name or a motto engraved on your business card holder then you should consult a jeweler. They can usually perform this service for a modest fee.
Business card holders make great gifts
What better way to give someone a gift than to get them a metal business card holder with their name engraved on it? Birthdays and Christmas make great occasions for these presents, but you can also give such a gift to celebrate a significant event, such as success at a rather large contract, a farewell present, or a get well present if one of your colleagues has been hospitalized.
Accessorizing your business card holder is another great way to personalize it. There are a huge number of accessories you can get, but some of the most popular accessories to put on a personalized business card holder are a keyring, a USB key, a combined wallet/card holder, a pen clip or even a belt clip.
