Top 10 Creative Uses for Business Cards
This past week I asked the Fans/Likes on my Facebook page what creative uses they had for their business cards besides what they’re meant for. And being wonderful, creative, and always up for a worthwhile distraction, they obliged. Here are the top 10 ideas they came up with:
- Put them in luggage tags instead of writing the same ol’ boring name and address
- Use them as a bookmark
- Write on the back for quick notes when you don’t have any scratch paper
- Use them as name labels for books
-
Clean out the keyboard — “really gets those mini-dust bunnies and some other stuff that I try not to analyze too much!”
-
Use them to clean tiny crevices around the house (like the space next to the oven, around the bathroom sink, in between tiles…you get the idea)
- Use as labels on those black file cabinets. Just cut a little off the edge, write what you want on the back with a marker and slip it into the label holder.
- Build a card castle
- Make cubes (this is COOL!)
- Clean between your teeth instead of dental floss (GROSS!)
Do you have any more suggestions to add to the list? Let us know in the comments.
