Designing Business Cards

Business Card Design, is this important? When you attend a convention and you meet a lot of people who are possible clients, what do you have to do? First things first, you might not see each other again, so you better give them a way or a means of communication, you will need your own business card. Business cards are not just a contact form, it can help in reminding your prospective clients that your company does exist especially when you client is looking for a reputable partner. The design of the business card has gone to much iteration over the years, with different formats and different materials being used. A business card is the ambassador of a company; it is kept and reviewed often by potential clients, meaning the design of the card must be memorable and with pleasing aesthetics. It is an essential and necessary item in your corporate identity which contains important contact information. How the business card looks like and how it feels when touch speaks about you and your company, where your company is right now and where it is going. Will you be using thick board or a light silk stock, will it be recycled, laminated with a biodegradable finish, embossed or foil blocked? Every finish tells a distinct character to you identity. An ideal business card will resist fingerprints and be quite substantial in weight as many wallets take a battering. Sizes are pretty much established right now, in the NC 88 or 85mm x 55mm is the norm. Interesting effects can be created on the edge of the card; also shapes can be removed from the interior.

Some key points to remember in the design of your business card:
•Be sure that ALL contact information is supplied and naturally correct
•Be sure that your company logo has prominence, and that all information is clearly legible when printed
•Be sure to establish your required number of cards to be printed, if you’re in doubt, make a mistake on the side of more, you can have additional 100’s, these are much cheaper than purchasing per card..
•Don’t keep your business card in your card holder; give them away in any opportunity that comes to you, besides that’s the reason why you have them. Drop them in restaurant tip trays, leave them on bars, give them to friends, and simply give it out so that the information will spread.
