Steps
- Save any business cards you come across, even duplicates.
- Ask your friends, family and co-workers to save them for you.
- Join several business card collecting groups/clubs.
- Trade with other collectors if you start getting duplicates.
- Go to paint stores, or hardware stores. Usually you will find many business cards, from people who want to paint your house, or put wallpaper on your walls, or clean the house.
- Walk into your doctor or dentist, and pick up a card at the desk.
- Look into buying a business card book to house your cards in. This ensures you do not lose your cards and they stay in good condition with easy access to them.
- Organize your book how you wish. Useful ways are alphabetical or by business. That way, your book will not only be a collector's case, but a yellow book type reference as well.
Tips
- Joining business card collecting groups or clubs are a great way to build your collection and make new friends with the same interest as you.
- Try to get business cards from famous or important people and have them sign them for you!
Warnings
- Always use acid-free, archive safe sheet protectors when you store your business cards.
- Remember, people use Business Cards as a form of advertising. Some might consider "just taking" a business card, if you have no interest in the contact or product, as stealing.
