Exchanging Business Cards

Business card is an identity of the individual and about the work with which he or she is associated. It is an extension of introducing yourself to others on paper. It shows your personality and the Image you want to portray.



    Here are ten "my Áura" rules of etiquette for business cards:
    1. Always use a neat, crisp, clean and pristine card when offering to someone.
    2. Always offer card either with right or both the hands. Never offer card with your left hand.
    3. While offering the card always look towards the face of the person and keep the front printed side of the card upwards and facing the receiving person.
    4. Always receive a card with your right or both the hands. Give it a look for few seconds and try to compliment about it like' how beautiful the color of the card is 'or' you really appreciate the design of the card'.
    5. Do not scribble or write on the card in front of the person who is offering you. In Japan it is considered to be writing on the face of the person.
    6. Never put the business card in the back pocket of your trouser and sit on it. Always keep the card either in the front pocket of your shirt or in the card case.
    7. Always present only one card to one person. Never distribute your business card like you are playing poker cards.
    8. Never offer business card during meals.
    9. If presenting business card to more than one person start from the highest ranking and move down according to the position and authority.
    10. Always offer your business card with a smile and see the difference.
