You’re moving up in the world. Maybe you got promoted. Maybe you’ve just been hired at a new job, or started your own business. Or maybe you just finally decided that you need an easier way for people to contact you than writing your phone number on your hand. Whatever the reason, you need business cards. But where do you start? How does it work? There are so many different questions to ask when figuring out your business card design. Like, how much contact information do you include? A phone number is a must, of course, and most likely an e-mail address. But make sure your e-mail is something professional-sounding, or at least relating to your company/business in some way. Even if your company doesn’t provide you with one automatically, always have a “business e-mail address” that’s separate from your personal one. Few things will turn someone off of doing business with you faster than e-mailing you at “princesspixiedust@hotmail.com.” The address of your company is also a good addition, but only if you have an office where people can come and see you. If you work from home, best not to give it out. Try setting up a P.O. Box instead. What about making your business card design stand out among all the other cards a person may get? A small graphic relating to your business may help, or a colorful border. Maybe a famous quote that relates to your business. But don’t go overboard. A cluttered card is off-putting. Simple and creative is best. |
