Quality business cards are partly about finding a reliable printing service and partly about a good design. Professional business cards should have clues in the design as to what your product/service is rather than simply being plain and boring. If something is dull and uninteresting then it is forgettable and the whole aim of professional business cards is to grab attention not deflect it. High quality business cards are the few that actually make an impact and if someone knows exactly what you are offering them just from the card then that is proof that your are the best business cards that you can get.
High quality business cards as a basic rule of thumb should match up with your business so if you are a personal trainer include a picture of weights or if you provide plumbing services then produce a card in the shape of a tap etc. Not all designs have to be quirky or predictable and a funny slogan will also keep your high quality business cards remembered. Create a link between the professional business cards and the business, either through a picture, a shape or with text and colours.
If the services that you provide are slightly more serious then there is still room to create memorable quality business cards as you can use different finishes and classy colours with the inclusion of a small logo in the corner that indicates what sector you are in. The idea of professional business cards is to make them into mini adverts for your products or services and this will only work by producing large numbers of them, circulating them through the best channels, with a catchy design and by using a printing service that is affordable and reliable.
