Business cards have been used since the 17th century and are still
an important part of the business relationship. While the etiquette here in Australia is relatively informal, there are still some rules to follow
to make the most of that brief moment you have to make an impression.


Treat the card you're given with respect.

Read what's on it. Be interested.
Put it away carefully. The person who gave it to you will note
the way you keep it because it signals how much you value them.


Treat your card as a representation of you. 

Keep your cards in a folder so they don't get damaged. 
Get the best quality card you can. They represent your business and you.

Most European cultures have the same way of giving and receiving
business cards that we do. For those countries who have different ways, though, we've put together a few valuable tips for you.


If you're doing business where English is not the native language,

print the translation of your information on the reverse of your business card,
but make sure you understand which dialect or characters should be used.


We can help you with that.

 

China

Present your card with both hands, facing up. Never write on someone's card. Always read a card that's given to you.

Japan

Present and receive a card with both hands. When receiving a card, bow, and thank the person giving it to you. Read it and make a comment about something on it. Put it away carefully.

Middle East or India

Take and present a card with your right hand.

USA

Wait until the conversation is under way before offering your card, and ask first.
