Use a business card as your nametag
[Replacing your nametag with a business card] makes your tag stand out, and offers other people a conversation prompt. -Michael Baras, an advisor from Long Island, NY
Give ’em something to talk about. Replace your ho-hum nametag with one of your business cards, suggests Michael Baras, an advisor from Long Island, NY. That makes your tag stand out, and offers other people a conversation prompt. “They’ll say, ‘Oh, you do pensions!’ And then you have something to talk about,” he explains.

All putting your business card on your nametag does is ensure fewer people will introduce themselves to you since it is socially awkward to try and glean information off a tiny card pinned to a lapel. You'd be better off just staying home.
