Business Card
In 17th century business cards originated as trade cards in England. They were used both as advertising and as maps as there was no formal street numbering system in London at the time. Business people present their contact information by using business cards to other business people and potential customers or clients. Business Cards are thriving even in the digital age and in countries such as China and Japan, business card exchange is like a ritual. Business cards provide a more tangible way to impart information about who you are and what you do, making them one of the most effective direct marketing tools.
