"Talk does not cook rice" - Old Chinese proverb. Even though English has become the lingua franca of international business and of scientific discussions, you may be doing business in Japan, Russia, France, China, or any other country for that matter. These countries insist on politeness and respect in business. They do not like informality, first naming, or anything that smacks of familiarity or lack of respect. They expect businessmen to dress properly and to observe all the social amenities. Etiquette is a traditional value that pervades some of these societies, and properly engraved business cards, giving a business title and academic credentials, symbolizes business etiquettes. Engraved business cards are considered the most prestigious in these countries.

Accordingly, engraved business cards are demanding more and more attention these days. Earlier these cards served a pure perfunctory purpose - leave behind contact information for later retrieval. Contemporary business cards include an email address and site's URL. An email and website address on a business card, shows that you are keeping up with the times. Listing landline and cell phone numbers shows that you are a 24/7 person or very accessible. And a card that isn't stained or tattered shows that you are concerned with quality and appearance. Beautiful, engraved business cards also help prospective clients perceive you have a high quality image and can help them with their needs, purchases or lifestyle.

"I never get the accountants in before I start up a business. It's done on gut feeling, especially if I can see that they are taking the Mickey out of the consumer." - Richard Branson. If you are a start-up, you are going to make many decisions that will not turn out as well as you hoped. For that reason, why buy thousand expensive, embossed or engraved business cards and matching stationery when you don't even know whether you will soon change your address, telephone number, email address, business name, or even services offered? You certainly won't lose any customers by ordering some plain, white cards that are tastefully printed on adequate, not costly, stock.
