Information On Your Business Card

The main reason as to why business people prepare business cards is to make it easier for clients to contact with them. For this reason, when preparing these cards, you ought to include contact information such as phone number, email address or website. Ensure that the business cards are precise on these details. 

Brand

Business cards should present information about the products/services the business offers. For instance, it must provide the brand color and logo. It is necessary that you design the business cards in a unique way. This makes it easier for clients to identify and easily remember your products/services.

Size

When drafting business cards, you must be enthusiastic with the size of cards you opt. You should understand that each size, weather large or small, has its advantages and drawbacks. Typically, you should maintain the size of your business cards at 3.5 inches by 2 inches. This size is recommended since it can be accommodated and safely kept in small wallets. Otherwise, if you design a larger business card, you may lose some of your potential customers as they may have difficulties in carrying the cards.

Type of Paper

When choosing the paper to use for making your business cards, there are three major ideas you have to consider. They include: 

• Design
• Weight
• Finish

Furthermore, you must consider the durability of the business cards. Keep in mind that flimsy and cheap business cards will wear out easily.

Design

Lastly, when preparing the business cards, you ought to make sure that it presents your contact information in a more elaborate way. Thus, it is advisable that you design in such a way that it does not give enough negative space. Negative space gives your customers’ eyes time to rest and keep them focused on the card’s vital information.
