Business card as a mini advertisement
Written by on December 10th, 2008
Your business card had better jump out from the rest. It should work as a mini advertisement for your business. However, there are a few primary factors that every business card should let in. Here is a rundown of these basics for you to remember as you design your next business card printing project:
1. Your Name
Apparently, you will want to put your name on your business card. Otherwise, the recipient will not know who to ask for when he or she calls.
2. Address
Make sure you include the address that people should use on your business cards. If you are working from home, you will have to use your home address. However, it is better if you have an office to work out of.
3. Your Company Name
Right by your name, you will want to include your business name. Even if your business is just you, put the name of your company on there. It looks more professional that way.
4. Phone Number
Your customers cannot contact you if you do not include your phone number. By the way, if you are working from home, it is a good idea to get a separate phone line for your business. When the business starts rolling in, you do not want to tie up your personal line.
5. Email Address
If you do not already have an email address, get one. It is essential. Moreover, it is free; just go to Yahoo or Google and sign up for one. Make sure you sound a professional address, though. “ClownBoy” is not a good idea.
6. Web Site Address
It is also a good idea to have a website for your company, if you do not have one already. In this age of computers, a website is a virtual necessity. You can set one up yourself, or have one set up for you for a relatively low price. Just search around.
7. Your Title
Whatever you call yourself, include it on your business card. Whether you are the president of the company, or king of the world, put your title on there.
8. Quick Rundown of your Business
Include some information about what your company does. That way, if a customer pulls your card out of his wallet three years from now, he will remember what you are all about.
9. Your Logo
If you do not have a logo, get one. You can have one designed for you at a very low price.
10. Some Attractive Stuff
Make certain to let in some images or artwork that make your card artistic to look at. There are far too many boring, black and white business cards out there. Make sure yours stands out from the crowd.
