| Business cards are a great way for your business to get it's 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 customizable 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
For those of you who do not wish to customize, many providers come
with pre-designed templates where you only have to insert your
information for a quick and easy card ready to be shipped.
For those of you who wish to exercise your creative muscle, here are
a few tips to follow:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Choosing a high quality business card composer will make all the
difference in the finished result. It is recommended that you choose a
well known company who will guarantee their products. Even if they are a
bit more expensive than their competitors, the extra expense will be
well worth the quality product and service you will receive
