Business cards are a great way for you to get your business name out into the world. Small and convenient, these little cards provide your customers with your name and all your contact information, and because they're portable, your customers will be able to take your name with them wherever they go (an advantage over online advertising).
Many companies provide fully customisable cards, allowing you to choose from font size and color to a unique logo. A good business card company will even let you choose the paper thickness and finish.
If you do not wish to customise, many design companies come with pre-designed templates where you only have to insert your information for a quick and easy card ready to be shipped.
Less is More:
It is pretty easy to get carried away with all the bells and whistles offered, but it usually doesn't take much for that little wallet sized card to get filled up with unnecessary decorations. Try to keep the main point in focus. Stick to the basics, this will also help get your message across quicker and easier for your customers.
Make Reading Easy:
Business cards are meant for quick reference. Contrasting colors are recommended as well as a simple sans font such as Arial. This will not only help the customer read your business card easier, but will also allow them to receive your information quickly and conveniently.
Keep the Important Material Larger:
Your name should be the largest font on the card. All your other information should be smaller and toward the bottom.
