Well designed business cards are the only way to ensure quality business cards! Good quality is not all about an impressive finish or fancy text; it is also about how successful they are in regards to how many avoid getting thrown straight into the bin! Good designs mean taking the time to do some research into what works and what doesn’t in the world of business cards.
Firstly it is essential that you think about some of the basics before moving onto the more in-depth parts. Professional business cards must include the following points:
- The perfect size – Choosing a size that suits most wallets and purses makes your cards appealing to the majority. Something that all business owners will understand the importance of.
- The right background colour – Make sure the colour you choose is neither too dull nor too flashy unless of course it is relevant to your business type. i.e. There is no need for a funeral director to have a bright orange card but a private nanny can use rainbow colours. It is all about thinking about your target audience and designing business card that portrays the correct image.
- What information to include – Make sure the essentials are all on there. i.e. Business name, description, your name, business address, website, telephone number and email address.
- Simplicity reaps success – Quality business cards are simple and easy to understand and read so it is obvious what your business is from reading just a few words. Busy people want to find contact details ASAP so keep them clear and concise.
If you wish to include further details about your business then you should think about designing some flyers or leaflets to further promote your business.
