Should You Include Your Twitter Username On Your Business Card?

Yes.*

I just had a new set of business cards made at work, and I made sure our designer gave my Twitter username (@Sheamus) pride of place. It’s in the bottom right-hand corner, all by itself. It just says @Sheamus, and doesn’t mention Twitter in any way.

This isn’t my actual business card, but it might inspire yours.

Two reasons:

  1. Even though my Twitter account is personal, as I tweet predominately about things that are relevant to our clients – Twitter, Facebook, social media in general, marketing, technology and so on – I have nothing to hide on there and everything to gain
  2. For people who aren’t wholly familiar with Twitter, seeing @Sheamus written in the corner is a call to action in and of itself.
