Business Cards — An Essential Networking Tool in Japan
Business cards are an essential tool for anyone doing business in Japan and to be caught without them is a serious breach of business etiquette and a major social blunder.
Presenting your Japanese clients with business cards in their native language demonstrates that you are taking your business in Japan seriously: not only is it important as a sign of respect, but it is also a way of ensuring that your name, job title and other crucial information are communicated accurately, and that the image of your company is promoted positively, professionally and impressively.
In SE Asian business cultures, a business card signifies group identity and your position within that group. A Japanese business card will do more than just identify you as an individual: it will clarify your status and help you to make that all-important first impression.
And that impression lasts: in Japan, business cards are often filed away for future reference, not discarded as they so often are in the West.
So, long after your Japanese sales trip, your business cards and any other printed material you take with you will continue to represent you and your company to your new Japanese business clients.
