Trading Business Cards

Video Transcript

" For Expert Village.com, this is Jason Freedman. In this clip we will be talking about trading with other business cards collectors. One of the biggest benefits of joining a Business Card Collectors Club is to trade cards with other collectors. Like I said the IBCC or the ABCC are great clubs to be involved with and provide plenty of opportunity for trading your cards. One of the first things you might want to do is once you join one of the clubs is make up your own business cards saying like you are a collector of business cards. That actually happens to be something that just about everybody who joined the club has and likes to exchange. That one is mine. There are different types of trades. Some trades are one for one trade meaning I will send you 20 cards and you send me 20 cards back, you send me 50 cards, I send you 50 cards back. There could be a general card trade or a favorite’s card trade. The general trades are just what it sounds like there are no particular categories of business cards but they are nice and so I send you some and you send me some back. Other times you may be looking for a specific category of card and you trade those with another person who also has that particular category or just the category that you want and you have the category that they want and you do an even swap. Finally there is something called Round Robins. That is when several people exchange one set of cards through the mail, they take out cards that are of interest to them and put back similar cards into the set and send it on to the next person."
