High quality business cards are an unbeatable way to advertise but it can be tricky to get started with a catchy design. Here are a few ideas to help you to create the best business cards possible as there are a few things to take into account before you get started that may help you to come up with a unique design.
First of all it is important to get quick business cards so use a reliable printing company that offers good prices but also a good level of service. There is no point in ordering 500 flimsy business cards that take a couple of weeks to arrive just because they were a few pounds cheaper! Secondly try brainstorming all the important components of your business and include every detail from what you sell or specialise in through to who your target audience is.
Quality business cards will represent your business so get it all in writing before you attempt to create a design. If you have a slogan then include it on your business cards and if you have a logo then ensure that also appears. Company branding is hugely important in business and so is consistency so if you have produced a website or flyers then ensure the same look and branding is included on your business cards to ensure you have consistent branding throughout all your marketing material.
Quick business cards are a massive advantage as you can’t expect clients to remember who you are if you have nothing to hand over to them. Short of rolling up their short sleeves in the supermarket and writing your telephone number on their hand you must make sure you can pass on your details quickly and easily. Get inspired by simply looking deep into your business and thinking about what you do, who you are, who you are appealing to and take it from there.
At Print Republic we offer a business card design service starting from £35 so get in touch with us for some design inspiration. You can request a quote by clicking the link to the right.

Premium business cards – While there is no denying the force of nature that is social networking, no form of advertising rivals the simplicity, low cost and ease of advertising via business cards. The trend of tweeting about your services and creating groups and pages about your products is sweeping the world and so many people are getting wrapped up in the social networking frenzy simple and somewhat old fashioned forms of promoting a business are being overlooked.
Quality business cards may sound like something from the Stone Age but up until the networking boom on the Internet; they were considered to be the way to spread the word about any business. Nothing has changed and simply because there are new methods of advertising available to us it should not mean we overlook the old tried and tested ones. It would be like never having fish and chips again just because you can afford to have caviar and champagne? If both work for you then why drop one?
Twittering about your business should not be done in place of using quality business cards or vice versa but social networking should work alongside the more traditional ways of advertising such as flyers, leaflets and, of course, the trusty business cards! You can’t tweet to someone you meet in a supermarket and if you rely solely on social media to advertise you will miss out on a whole other portion of potential customers. Premium business cards can be used at any time, in any situation (avoiding natural disaster zones, funerals and accident sites, which should go without saying) in any place unlike social networking that has to be done at a time you have access to the internet.
Business cards are the crème de la crème way for handing out your contact information and should not be buried under a load of tweet!

There are many things that you should ensure are included on your professional business cards and with such a small space to work on it is vital to keep your card simple and clear, whilst ensuring you get your message across. Here are a list of things people put on their business card. Some of them are necessary like contact details others are more unusual and just add a bit of character. You can pick and choose those which are right for you. You may decide to leave your postal address off if you are a web company, for example. If you are always out and about you may only have a mobile number and not a fixed land line.
Information you can put on your business card
- Your name
- Business Name
- Address
- Main office telephone number
- Direct line office number
- Mobile phone number
- Fax
- Email
- Website address
- Twitter username
- Facebook URL
- Linkedin URL
- Other social networking URLs
- Brief summary of services
- Logo
- Map
- Company slogan
- Discount code or coupon
- Wise saying
- Your picture
Premium business cards can be made from a matte finish, a glossy look, traditional shape and size or a more unusual shape. Some people choose to create business cards in the shape of something that represents their business such as a dog for a dog grooming service or a dumbbell for a gymnasium. Once you have included the basic information you can be as creative as you like. There is so much competition, staying out of the bin and in someone’s wallet is tricky.
For the ultimate in premium business cards you can include a variety of extras with some choosing to include gimmicks that represent the company such as a balloon inside a flap of the business card if you promote children’s parties or a packet of seeds if you run a garden centre. As well as gimmicks, some also choose to use colour, large or small text, double sided cards or unusual shapes to give their professional business cards an edge. You can play with the design as long as you have the basic contact information you can add what you like to make your business card stand out.

Business card printing can be very difficult, you may think what can go wrong a small piece of card, but let me warn you, a lot. A business card is represents your business and your business card needs to leave a good impression even when you are not around.
One of the biggest mistakes in business card printing is not making clear what you do. Your business card should have more than your contact details on. If you give someone a business card with only your name and contact details how will they know whether to call you in the future if they are unsure about whether you can help or not!
Create a card that reflects your company’s image. Free business cards do this; cheap looking cards can portray an unprofessional image. Not a lot of people know, but free business cards are rarely free. Inflated delivery costs and lots of added extras can make them just as pricey as quality business cards. Not to mention the horrible feeling you get when they arrive in the post and you know you have been had. For a couple of pound extra you can have a business card you are really proud of.
Avoid the following business card printing mistakes and you will be fine:
- Low quality paper
- Don’t make the text too small
- Don’t use too many colours
- Don’t make the logo too big
As I said there are many business card printing mistakes to be made but if you get professional business cards printed by a business printing services company you will be fine.

In this day and age everyone is in a rush. If you want something done then always ask a busy person! For business owners, the concept of rushing all the time is no stranger and the majority of the time they will be wishing for 25 hours in a day to get jobs done. As well as always being busy and never having enough time to dedicate to things, business owners are also always looking at ways to increase their business. The best way to get more business is to advertise, advertise and advertise. This needn’t be expensive and dedicating a little time to finding a good quality business card printing service will surely benefit your company.
Sourcing out a great printing service shouldn’t be too time consuming as they are found all over the UK, from big city’s like London and Watford to smaller places like High Wycombe and Hemel Hempstead. Business card printing is a booming business, especially as the credit crunch continues to bite down hard, everyone is competing twice as hard for business and any good business person understands the importance of self promotion at any given opportunity.
If you lack artistic flair or simply the time to find it, get hold of a company that is well established in the business card printing sector and ask them for some advice. Failing that, you can always give them your company information and leave it solely in their hands but if you are planning on doing this then make sure you use a good company and one of the best around is Print Republic.
