| I don't know how they did it, but some folks in our group got the back
side printed in Japanese (they're in Japan or I'd ask).
I don't think it was anything way out of the ordinary -- this is a very
common practice for doing business with Japan.

| Printing on both sides of a business card is not just common, it is
the norm in Japan. At least, everyone I've ever seen is done this way.
It is also done in Europe. I worked once with a U.S. customer that had
a subsidiary in France. All the French people had dual sided business
cards - one in French and one in English. I thought it unusual but
they said it was common there.

| Dual sided business cards in French and English as used by Digital in
Quebec, got a stack of them in my daytimer.
|
| 4376.5 | in Asia too | HGOVC::TERESARUIVO | Hong Kong, @HGO | Wed Jan 24 1996 21:51 | 2 |
| The same in all countries in Asia: one side English, the other the
local language ( Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.)

In an international business class, we viewed a tape on international
customs, dos and dont's, (i.e. never show the soul of you shoe to a
middle-east person, shake hands with your right hand - never with your
left [or was it the other way around?], the "ok" hand sign doesn't
mean "ok" in Australia), etc.
One concerned handing/receiving business cards. Some countries had them
printed on both sides and there was a proper 'method' to reading them.
Some countries, you actually give them their card back after reading
them, otherwise, you offend them. (Those cards are typically expensive
to make - perhaps guilded.)

my Internet and X400 mail address on the back.

| 4376.8 | another chance to cut cost ? | SPESHR::DEHEK | | Thu Jan 25 1996 09:09 | 9 |
| and here is another costsaver:
for folks who do not need the backside printed; team up with the
person in the cube next door and share a business card....
or for the non-VPs amongst us - adopt one (we're getting close to 1-1)
and share one with them
:^)

give your old business cards to the BMC for field identification
cards (they don't blow away from the specimens)!

| If there's stuff on both sides, then there's no room
for a customer to put the requirements for a proposed
system. We'd have to go to a bar and get a cocktail
napkin, I suppose.
