Business owners or managers who spend part or all of their time working from home can sometimes become isolated and lose motivation to meet and greet in the real world.
But networking is a vital aspect of any business' ongoing marketing plan and should not be ignored just because an owner is generally confined to their home office.
Whilst website, telephone and email networking can be effective, there is still a huge advantage to be gained from making face-to-face contact with potential new clients or business partners.
In an article titled 10 Ways to Avoid the Home-Office Blues, Sydney Morning Herald writer Tony Featherstone asserted that people working from home should aim to make at least one new contact each week.
"It is easier said than done for a home-based business owner who feels isolated or is time pressured, but networking is critical regardless of venture size, and incredibly energising," he wrote.
An important part of the networking process is to be well prepared when it comes time to exchange details and make a lasting impression. This is when a professional and memorable business card is essential.
