Business cards - Suppose you are in the field to do your work (photography, music, sales, etc.) and you meet someone who may be interested in your services.

Second, you can ask them to search for it online (website, facebook, Google+). Third, you can easily give them a business card with all the information they need to contact you later.

With option one, it's quite easy to forget your information among the countless contacts the person can have on their phone. Option two allows the potential customer to forget their name or company name and never find it online. However, with option three, the potential customer has something physical to go to.
