Go to the Next Level:  Premium-Quality Japanese Business Cards.

Premium-quality Japanese business cards are one of the factors that contributes to a successful trip to Japan. 

Premium business cards help close the deal.  They cement relationships.  They help your Japanese contacts remember you.  They turn polite smiles into compliments and raves.

Will your Japanese hosts send you packing if you have inferior — or even merely adequate — Japanese business cards? 

Of course not.  We would be remiss in not telling you this.  The Japanese place a high value on decorum and appearances; they won’t embarrass you to your face.

But we are telling you that premium-quality Japanese business cards propel you beyond adequate.

Can you slide by with “adequate” business cards? Yes.

Can you get it right with “adequate” business cards? No.

 

Japanese Business Cards – Often a Leap of Faith.

Let’s say that you order your Japanese business cards from any old supplier or have a friend, acquaintance or language teacher translate them for you.  You order your cards, receive them, and pack them away.  Unless you are highly proficient in the language, those Japanese cards may look a bit mysterious.  Even if you know a smattering of Japanese, it’s hard to know if all of the nuances are in place.

How will you know if these cards are any good?

You go to Japan.  You distribute your cards at your business meeting, academic symposium, church conference, or even at informal occasions.  Your Japanese contacts politely receive, study, and comment on your cards.

But what is the immediate impact?

When you order Japanese business cards from just any supplier, it’s a leap of faith.  Sometimes that leap lands you in a host of problems when you have sub-standard business cards. 

Accurate, Sensitive Rendering of Your Position and Name.

Job positions often do not translate one-for-one from English to Japanese.  Because hierarchy and the position of an individual are core concepts in Japanese culture, it is imperative that your business card supplier get this absolutely right. 

Lose that meaning and everything may be lost. 

The immediate impact isn’t always obvious.  You will get polite smiles and courteous comments.  But when the inner meaning is wrong, there is a disconnect.

Asian Language DTP has its feet planted squarely in both the East and the West.  We understand the subtle gradations of job positions in each culture. Indeed, our Bonus #2: Succeed by Understanding E. Asian Business Hierarchy (free when you request a no-charge review of your card), shares a lot of this insider knowledge with you, too.

We also take pains to phonetically render your name so that your Japanese hosts can correctly pronounce it.  Since the Japanese consider it a sign of respect to accurately pronounce your name, your business cards will help them get it right.

Asian Language DTP cares about the impact your cards have when they leave your hand.

Why You Get Print-Ready Files Instead of Paper Cards From Us.

Asian Language DTP has been creating superior Japanese business cards for a long time.  We have studied the workflow process and have perfected each step.  Here is a glimpse into how our process works by investing in the intellectual backend.

On this flat earth of ours, production of products is easier than ever.  It’s now a simpler process to make things.  Seemingly at the touch of a button you can produce cars, mortgages, houses, furniture—and business cards.

It’s not so much the physical cards that matter.  It’s not so much the piece of paper.  It’s the brainwork and experience that go into creating them.

Asian Language DTP invests heavily in the early, intellectual end of the supply chain:  professional translators, authoritative design staff, superior quality control and support.

We take special care to segment our work process into work groups of experts who are masters at their particular art.  This is all part of our commitment to get it right.

Experts like Zeng Xiang-Wen, our expert typesetter, who has worked on projects for HP, Dell, Compaq, Nokia, GE and other international corporations.

Experts like translator Toshihiko Harada, a Japanese national and graduate of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies—who has also lived for years in Texas and Minnesota.

Does this cost us more?  Of course.  It’s easier and cheaper to ship everything to one person who falsely claims to be a “master of all trades.”

With Japanese business cards, you’re transmitting the idea—not a piece of paper.  And Asian Language DTP gets the idea right.

It’s a Big World.  Be Ready for It. Order Korean and Chinese Cards, Too.

At one time, the world was simple—everything in neat little compartments.  Then the world started to get big, and suddenly your organization had interests in Europe and South America, as well as China and South Korea.

On your trip to Japan, you may meet counterparts in hotels, airplanes, airports, and restaurants.  When you meet a South Korean or a Chinese person, what if you were ready with a business card in their language?

Would you give a Chinese colleague a Japanese business card?  You’re fooling yourself if you think you can slide by with this.

Traveling to Japan as a Team?

Increasingly, people are traveling to Japan in teams.  Whether it’s for a medical conference, academic forum, or a hot business deal, your team needs to coordinate.

Doesn’t your team coordinate on timing?  On presentations?  On hotel arrangements?

Why wouldn’t you also coordinate on your Japanese business cards?

Pitfalls of getting cards individually:
	Company or university name translated differently – even though it’s the same name in English.
	Potential for overlapping titles or positions.
	Corporate logo different on each card.

Plan ahead for your team.  Order Asian-language business card multiples now. 

Asian Language DTP’s Twice-Over Language Confirmation Guarantee.

After receipt of the proofs from us, feel free to have your cards independently reviewed by your own Asian language-speaking associate.  We are confident of 100% approval.  However, in the rare event that you do not find the cards satisfactory, we will make revisions—no extra charge. 

Your trip to Japan is important.  It’s 11 plus hours by plane from the West Coast; 16 hours from the East Coast.  After hotel and ground transport arrangements, it’s a major commitment of time and money.

Do you really want to fool with sub-standard Japanese business card suppliers?  You only have one chance to get this right.
