Business Card Etiquette: Do's and Don'ts for Professionals

Presenting a business card well is part of the impression it creates. Offer your card with the text facing the recipient, use both hands in more formal or international settings, and avoid handing over a card that's bent, smudged, or outdated.

Understanding Business Card Etiquette

Don't hand out a card as an afterthought while already walking away, and don't write on someone else's card in front of them unless invited to. Take a moment to actually look at a card you receive rather than pocketing it immediately.

Getting It Right

Keep your own cards in a dedicated holder, not loose in a wallet, so they stay in the same crisp condition your printer delivered them in.
