Description

A Name Card for Business

Background of the invention

Field of the Invention

The present invention is related to a business card that advertises one' s business and more particularly to a business card included a lottery on its behind for some premiums, so that the receivers can check their winning a prize in the lottery through the internet. It indicates that they should keep the business card and visit the site for it. It is very efficient for advertising one's own business, as they visit his/her site and see a lot of advertising such as owner' s profile and introducing the company.

In the recent days, a general Business Card that company employees or salesmen carry with themselves only includes their company, name, position and telephone number, which makes them, especially salesmen who do the professional sale, take lots of efforts to do some works such as scanning their photos or caricatures on the business card and giving to customers booklets or some necessary materials for living on which their name is printed. However, the said business card or materials is somewhat efficient for customers at first sight, and in a few minutes, they are not interested in the business card any more. That means the image of the business card is not attractive and continuous, which has no advertising impact.

Furthermore, various business cards besides the general business card are suggested, such as a colored business card, metal business card, or a business card attached a memo note like Post-it. These kinds of business card is supposed to produce a visual effect and highlight owner's image to receivers, but actually, people does not need this business card, so they dump it behind the salesman. Advertising is over at the same time with dumping, and they cannot inform customers about their products as well as their image.

On the other hand, there are some handbills (a kind of junk mail) from supermarkets or restaurants for their sales strategy, but people usually put them away without reading as soon as they qet it. Thus, there is no advertising effect at all as well.

The above-mentioned problems are happened because the handbills only includes introduction of products, the map of store, and its telephone number, so they don't need to keep it, which results in no advertising effect. Besides, a scratch lottery, which people can get a prize on the spot, came out these days. This is favorably attractive to customers, but after they check whether they win or not, they usually abandon the lottery. So, this has no advertising effect also and it applies to a scratch- lottery business card, too.

Then again, recently some salesmen hand out leaflets on the street, but people rarely take it, and even though they took the leaflet, people throw it away without reading a word.

Therefore, it cannot produce any advertising effect at all, and rather makes streets dirty, as people think leaflets are only wastes.

On the other hand, there is a sticker handbill, which is stuck on things like furniture or a refrigerator whenever they need it. But the above problems are also happened in this case. When people throw it away for the reason that those leaflets are not good for home interior and very hard to remove, it cannot be expected to make any advertising effect as well.

These days, e-commercial is proceeding actively, which they can introduce and sell their products through the internet, but if their site is not favorably known to people, they have few people to visit their site in the end. This means that advertising is extremely important for the internet company.

In this regard, they can register the portal site for the advertisement of their site, but this is not such an efficient, unique and active way because a huge amount of companies, which sell the same products with theirs, are registered the same portal site, then a customer should choose one of them.

Discussion of Related Art

Another purpose of the present invention is that provides a business card, which makes people visit the site for checking whether they win a prize or not. This is very efficient for advertising one's own business, as they visit his/her site and see a lot of advertising such as owner' s profile and introducing the company.
