Presidential Business Cards
As any professional business person knows, business cards are a great way to have a potential client remember you. But does the President of the USA need people to remember him?
Regardless, the President (past and current) always have business cards. During many presidencies you can even write a letter to the president and he will mail you a business card. Well, someone on his staff will mail you a business card.
These business cards are usually embossed with a gold presidential seal right in the middle. Many times they have a fake signature right over the middle of the card (lithograph) and the address of the White House in the top right corner.
Oh, and you can even buy them on eBay! Here is a signed business card from Gerald Ford. If you are named “Jim” this can be even more special:

So if you are interested in getting a business card from the president, send him a letter and let me know how it goes!

Leather Business Cards
Most websites, when talking about leather and business cards are referring to business card cases or business card holders. I am talking about neither. I am talking about business cards that are actually made out of leather and printed in color like a traditional business card!
There is no need for me to explain the benefit to the extremely unique business cards.
However, I would like you to think about the downside of having leather business cards.
1. Price
I wasn’t able to find an actual price for leather business cards, but I can assure you they won’t be cheap. However, if you are looking for something more unique the plastic business cards and metal business cards, and the price isn’t important these leather business cards might be for you.
2. Cow Lovers and PETA members
While showing off your amazingly unique business cards, you might offend someone. In business this is a major downside. PETA members for sure will not appreciate your attempt at uniqueness nor will someone who enjoys having cows around as pets…
3. Durability
I cannot comment on the durability of leather business cards because I have never seen them in person. I don’t know how the manufacturing process works, nor do I know how they are treated when they are finished. They will probably last a good long while, but you would have to check with the leather business card manufacturer.
Leather business cards are not for everyone, but for those who are looking for an extrememly unique business card, leather business cards are perfect!

Magnetic Business Cards
Magnetic business cards are business cards with a magnetic backing. These business cards work just like a regular business card, and like a regular magnet. They are slightly thicker than a regular business to incorporate the magnet on the back side of the business card.
You have probably seen, or maybe even have a magnetic business card on your refridgerator. This is the most common place for magnetic business cards. With that said, is your business, the type that would benefite from being on a refrigerator?
If you are a web design company, you probably don’t need customers seeing your business card on a regular basis as they get a glass of milk. You would be better suited with a metal business card, or a plastic business card. Those are unique and draw attention to themselves.
For the average business that provides a service, such as plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, dog walkers, computer repair technicians, etc, a magnetic business card would work great for you!
Here are a few quick reasons why magnetic business cards would be great for your business.
1. You can still get full color, logos, images, and any other graphics you want.
2. Magnetic business cards stay in sight and are reminders to the homeowners when they need your service. Magnetic business cards are usually placed in a highly trafficed area instead of a wallet or business card holder.
3. Magnetic business cards are very durable. Since they are thicker and heavier than traditional business cards, they are stronger and last longer. This actually provides you with a greater return on your business card investment.
If you run a service oriented business, think about buying magnetic business cards next time you order!

Folded Business Cards
Folded business cards are a great way to increase the amount of marketing real estate you have on each of your business cards, similar to that of tri fold business cards.
Folded business cards have a few key advantages over regular business cards.
1. They are still very easy to carry.
When you start to use metal business cards, or tri fold business cards, they can get bulky and difficult to carry, especially if you carry more than 10 at a time. Folded business cards are only twice as big as regular business cards so you can still carry a large amount.
2. They have additional room for whatever you want.
Many people like to use the back of folded business cards as room for a map to their business, advertising, coupons or free samples, a miniature brochure, or times and dates of operation. These ideas just add to the effectiveness of folded business cards.
Keep in mind that you won’t be able to get folded business cards for free like you can regular business cards.
