@rich-brooks  I only have my web-site.  Have put my twitter handle on name tags at some meetings I go to that are social media related.

@rich-brooks Hi Rich, on our latest reprint we have published them all on the back of the card making sure that a short branded url (even if not the official one from the media channel but a shortlink from our website) would appear aside of the icon 

I am just starting my business, so this topic comes up at a great time for me.  Putting social media on my cards was not even on my radar.  I thought if my website was on there, I would not need to add the other platforms.  I am leaning to “less is more” as @kimkline suggests.  I think having them all will clutter the card, at least the designs I have been looking at.

I don’t have any of my social media information on my business card, but I recently read an article about this and the next time I get cards make I think I’ll have to changes this to include the most important ones.

@felice-linder I would choose the ones where I have the most connections and interactions, which for me are LinkedIn and Facebook.

Glad to be of help @felice-linder.

@rich-brooks  I believe that less is more, especially if your website is the ultimate desired destination.  If, assuming, there is only one chance to retain a visitor, I would prefer that task to be taken on by the website.  From there if the visitor wishes to engage in the social fluff, they can do so.

I do, also believe in creating limited-run cards to suit a particular purpose, or audience.  I once had limited-run business cards made out of wood veneer to use at a builder’s conference.  They were a big hit, and left a memorial impression with some.  I could envision a audience-specific card produced to be used at a conference for social media professionals.

Quick side note on my two cents here – I prefer translucent plastic as the material for my standard cards.  I think they are clean and professional looking, however, I would not use this material for cards for a special event, like an industry conference.  You can’t scribble a note on them, which I’ve found I’ve wanted to do, from time to time at events.

I only list my blog/website and Twitter. They can find all of my connections on the website. And Twitter is a pretty fast and convenient way to reach me (for other Twitter users).

I also have a QR code on the back of my card.

I also have my email but no phone number. I often leave cards in public and I work from home, so I don’t like leaving my phone number in public. When someone talks to me and I hand them a card, I write my phone number on it for them.

We all have such unique situations that there are not any real rules. I’d recommend everyone try things and see what they like. Cards are generally not that expensive, so they can be replaced if you end up not liking what you’ve done. (Compared to the cost of building a website, for example!)

@rich-brooks On my email sig I have 1 of everything including about.me which has all my accounts listed. On my business card I have Facebook ang G+

@rich-brooks , interesting that you don’t put your mobile no on business cards. I do that (and actually prefer calls on my mobile) because I don’t want to be bound to my office (which is at home) - not even during normal business hours. I’m convinced that people won’t be angry with me if I don’t pick up my mobile during weekends or I simply let them know in case it’s not a good time to talk.

we put our  facebook   info  on  every piece of paper including   cards….because   its proving  to  be    such a  great   link for us  with our  buyers…

and  the phone   too…i  always   answer it  ,  at night or  anytime..i want to be available….

im  amazed  at  how many companies  dont  reveal their phones or  expect  yu to   get on the  voicemail  train  even during  business hours……. its like they dont want to talk to the  customers    and  expect  voicemail and email  to do the trick….  we  have  real people at all times  during   open  hours….thats what i like and  figure my  customers  do too.

@peter-graham I like the QR approach best. My reasoning is when someone has one of your business cards in hand, they have to type your digital addresses in order to do anything with them. Using the QR code eliminates the typo problem.

On my business cards I have my website, Facebook and twitter links. On the back I have a QR Code to my website. My first round of cards I did not have my FB page and realized my error. trashed them and started over!
