An array of enhanced promotional services enable businesses to show products, display ads and press releases, and explain offerings in detail. Potential customers can send an email, click on a link to visit that businesses’ web site, or download brochures.

BusinessCardContacts.com is the creation of Gene Malis, an advertising veteran who most recently served as the marketing and sales rep for the Hudson Valley Business Journal. “Good business people are always on the lookout for better ways to reach out and communicate with customers,” asserts Gene. “Business cards are effective, but you can never physically reach your entire potential audience. BusinessCardContacts.com will bring together businesses and their potential customers in a virtual business card exchange.”

Those joining BusinessCardContacts.com will get their own ID and password that enables them to have complete access and control over their promotional area. Adding and changing information is easy and secure. Realtors can place their hottest properties for the week. Bankers can update competitive CD rates. Best of all, it costs only pennies per day.

Working with both the consumer and business-to-business markets, Gene is coordinating with many of the region’s Chamber of Commerces and Rotary Clubs to promote this innovative and inventive new venture. He also plans to bring visitors to the site through regular direct mail programs, print advertising and billboards.
