Business cards can help you and your business achieve that all-important "first impression" to your prospective clients. Since first impressions are said to last, use business cards as a way to introduce yourself and your business to people in a positive light. However, it is not enough just to have a business card printed with your name and company logo on it. In fact, some business cards are a cut above the rest due to how the font, company logo and contact details are designed on the card.
In order for your business cards to command attention from your customers, you should be aware of the factors involved in a great business card design. Below are some tips to guide you in designing your own card:
- Choose a theme for your business card. Selecting the colors, font style and images you would want to appear on your card. As much as possible, keep your color choices similar or complementary to the colors used on your company logo. Doing so will help you establish branding consistency.
- Look for business card design samples. Browse business cards online and search for samples to inspire you in designing your own business cards. Compare and contrast the business card design of each sample to determine what makes one better than the other.
- Use font sizes and styles that are readable. Your business card need to succeed as a communication and promotion tool between you and your clients. Therefore, stick to basic font styles like Arial and Times New Roman at reasonable sizes.
- Say "no" to text and information overload. As much as possible, limit the business card information to your name, address, contact number, e-mail address and company logo. Unnecessary information will only create clutter. Let the colors, font style and other design elements do the talking for you.
- Double-check the information written on your business card before printing. A misspelled word or missing number on your card information could make it difficult for your clients to contact you. Correct information on your business card will not only keep you in touch with your clients, but also prevent you from reprinting your cards and spending money in the process.
