WORCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND, August 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) The old fashioned method of exchanging contact details via printed business cards would appear to be one of the most effective means of creating long lasting customer relations. The way in which companies do business is constantly evolving particularly as a result of advances in technology. Increasingly, business communications are being carried out electronically. Despite this migration, it would seem that there will always be a place for the printed business card.
The basic purpose of the business card design is to provide a business's or individual's contact details. Traditionally, these details would be presented in a standard size and format which could be easily stored in a wallet for future use. With the development of alternative ways to reach target markets and exchange contact information, the benefits of the business cards have been somewhat overlooked.
Ruth Griffiths of Bird and Co Creative comments, "Never under estimate the power which this marketing tool holds. Your business card has the ability to speak volumes about your organisation. It can also provide a vital link through which long term business relations can be established."
Unlike electronic marketing methods, a business card will provide a physical and long lasting impression. Through good graphic design, quality and type of material used, the business card will also indicate the calibre of that company, service or product. Good quality, well designed business cards are likely to be retained for future reference. In addition, a connection is made between the company and recipient when the business card is exchanged which can bode well for future dealings.
New marketing methods are being incorporated into the business card's design. The inclusion of a QR code enables the business card to instantly connect to a specific web page when scanned with a mobile device. Similarly, augmented reality can bring a business card to life, providing further scope for business marketing. Even with incorporating these additional capabilities, the printed business card remains cost effective in its production and generates good return on investment.
It is easy to get carried away with online marketing techniques and neglect those tried and tested methods which have been used with success for years. For many businesses, it might be time to go back to basics and make sure your business card is doing its job.

Few health problems are caused by vaccines, IOM report finds
2011-08-27
WASHINGTON — An analysis of more than 1,000 research articles concluded that few health problems are caused by or clearly associated with vaccines. A committee of experts convened by the Institute of Medicine to review the scientific literature on possible adverse effects of vaccines found convincing evidence of 14 health outcomes -- including seizures, inflammation of the brain, and fainting -- that can be caused by certain vaccines, although these outcomes occur rarely. It also found indicative though less clear data on associations between specific vaccines and four ...
Biological communities studied at historical WWII shipwrecks along North Carolina
2011-08-27
In the waters off the North Carolina coast, historically-significant World War II submarines and shipwrecks rest on the seafloor, a testament to a relatively unknown chapter in U.S. history. According to a new NOAA report, the shipwrecks are not only important for their cultural value, but also as habitat for a wide diversity of fishes, invertebrates and algal species. Additionally, due to their unique location within an important area for biological productivity, the shipwrecks are potential sites for examining community change.
In June 2010, scientists conducted biological ...

Getting back from a trip 'ahead of time'
2011-08-27
After returning from holiday, it's likely you felt that the journey home by plane, car or train went much quicker than the outward journey, even though in fact both distances and journey are usually the same. So why the difference? According to a new study by Niels van de Ven and his colleagues it seems that many people find that, when taking a trip, the way back seems shorter. Their findings, published online in Springer's Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, suggest that this effect is caused by the different expectations we have, rather than being more familiar with the route ...
Smoking soon after waking raises risk of lung and head and neck cancers
2011-08-27
August 25, 2011 -- Two new studies have found that smokers who tend to take their first cigarette soon after they wake up in the morning may have a higher risk of developing lung and head and neck cancers than smokers who refrain from lighting up right away. The findings by researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and Penn State College of Medicine may help identify smokers who have an especially high risk of developing cancer and would benefit from targeted smoking interventions to reduce their risk.
The research was published early online ...
President's Bioethics Commission to wrap up historical investigation
2011-08-27
WASHINGTON, D.C. – At its public meeting on August 29 in Washington, the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues will publicly discuss several key findings as it refines the conclusions of its historical investigation into the U.S. Public Health Service (U.S. PHS) studies done in Guatemala in the 1940s. The U.S. PHS research involved intentionally exposing and infecting vulnerable populations to sexually transmitted diseases. The Commission's historical investigation is due to President Obama in September.

NIH research model predicts weight with varying diet, exercise changes
2011-08-27
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have created a mathematical model – and an accompanying online weight simulation tool – of what happens when people of varying weights, diets and exercise habits try to change their weight. The findings challenge the commonly held belief that eating 3,500 fewer calories – or burning them off exercising – will always result in a pound of weight loss.
Instead, the researchers' computer simulations indicate that this assumption overestimates weight loss because it fails to account for how metabolism changes. The computer ...

2011-08-27

The malaria mosquito is disappearing -- but it is not just good news
2011-08-27
The incidence of malaria in many African countries south of the Sahara is falling rapidly. A Danish-Tanzanian research group has discovered that the mosquito carrying the malaria parasite has practically disappeared from villages without organized mosquito control, and the researchers do not know why. There are several hypotheses but without proper data they cannot say whether malaria is being eradicated or whether it is just resting up before returning with renewed vigour.
"Many of our fellow malaria researchers think that the fall in countries such as Tanzania, Eritrea, ...
Berkeley Lab scientists unveil an X-ray technique called HARPES
2011-08-27
The expression "beauty's only skin-deep" has often been applied to the chemistry of materials because so much action takes place at the surface. However, for many of the materials in today's high technologies, such as semiconductors and superconductors, once a device is fabricated it is the electronic structures below the surface, in the bulk of the material or in buried layers, that determine its effectiveness. For the past 30 years, one of the most valuable and widely used techniques for studying electronic structures has been ARPES – Angle-Resolved PhotoEmission Spectroscopy. ...
