    Business cards should be in pristine condition when handed to others, as they represent you professionally. When presenting your card, do so with your right hand while making eye contact and smiling. When receiving a card, accept it in the same manner it was given and take time to study the information before storing it properly in a separate case, then adding the contact to your database. Business cards are an international way to exchange contact details, so be prepared with supplies and understand etiquette customs for the country you are visiting.

    The Etiquette of Giving and Receiving Business Cards

    When you give someone your business card, you’re introducing yourself on paper. A business card is a
    representation of who you are so be sure that the card is in pristine condition before you hand it over. You
    wouldn’t wear a wrinkled suit to an interview, would you?

    Presenting your business card


     Always present your business card in your right hand, or in both hands. Never pass out
    your business cards as though you were distributing free makeover coupons. If you travel
    for business, you’ll save yourself from embarrassment by following this rule.
     In some countries, presenting your business card in your left hand is a serious insult.
     Look the individual in the eye and smile when presenting the card. Not only is it a good
    etiquette, but it also shows them that you’re engaged with them.

    Receiving a business card


     When being given a business card, accept the card in the same way it was presented—
    either in your right hand or both hands. Take a few moments to study the business card,
    commenting on it and clarifying information before putting it away.
     Don’t ever slide a business card into your back pocket and sit on it. Always keep your
    business cards in a separate case. When you are back in your office, add the information
    from the card into your database as soon as possible. You never want to be in a position
    where you have to ask that person for another card. That’s a big etiquette blunder.
     Business cards are an internationally recognized means of presenting personal contact
    information—so be sure you have a good supply on hand.
     If you travel abroad for business, do a little research on business etiquette for your
    destination before you go. The etiquette “rules” in the UK, for example, are far more
    relaxed than in Japan. Understanding business etiquettes allows you to feel comfortable
    and will help build trust when building business relationships.
