As a substitute of handing out a enterprise card, be energetic. If somebody asks for what you are promoting card, inform them you don’t have one, however you’d love to attach with them on Instagram. DM them and arrange a time to speak. In the event that they don’t have an Instagram, ask for his or her telephone quantity or e-mail and arrange a time to speak.
