As an entrepreneur/business person you acquire new business cards with each new professional role you take on, therefore the expected shelf life for a lot of business cards is a couple of years. By then, you’ve probably given out many and have another 150 sitting in a cardboard box or just lying around at the bottom of your desk drawer, that’s a lot of paper going to waste. There are however many alternative ways to use old business cards, here are just some:
1. Use as a Bookmark
2. Repurpose and use as gift tags
3. The thicker card used to produce our business cards work perfectly as labels for files and folders
4. Use as Moving box labels or Luggage tags
5. Use the reverse side of a single sided business card as a place card
6. Keep some business cards in your bag with crayons, for small projects to keep children entertained…….for a little while anyway
7. Use as Hamster cage filler
8. You can compost the business cards or cut them down and use as plant markers
