Get chatting to them if you can, give them a price and let them know when you can do them (try and give them a call to action)
Either that or use leaflets instead so when people see them on the side it jogs there memory a bit

I get asked for loads of cards.
Get a lot of calls (I think so anyway) but rarely ask how they got my details. Could be from the cards...

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

i always carry business cards on me when working.when approached by potential customers i always give at least one out.

i also have them on me when not at work (out and about) just in case! ;) :)

i also have customers who ask for them for family or friends  who want a window cleaner. :)
price higher/work harder!
