Why You Should Create Your Own Business Card


Most people have a company create their business cards for them, depending on these people to do a good job and create a card that customers and potential potential customers will want to keep for future reference. While there is nothing wrong with this approach if you are happy with the card a company has created for you there are some very good reasons why you should create your own business card.

It's The First Impression of Your Business


The simple truth is that your business card may be the first impression many potential customers have of your business and no one cares as much about your business as you do. Those business card design companies may know something about design, but they simply can't know your vision for your company or what your company means to you. Only you can know those things, so who better to create a business card for your business than you yourself.

Tips For Creating Your Business Card


Some people are afraid of creating their own business card feeling that they are simply not artistic enough to create a good business card that people will want to keep and to pass around. The truth is that creating an attractive business card is simpler than most people think. Here are a few tips, that will help you to create a business card that will be a positive reflection on you and your business.
  1. Stick to the standard 3.5 inch by 2 inch size. Anything bigger doesn't fit easily into a wallet therefore is less likely to be kept.
  2. Once your card is created have it printed on high quality paper, plastic or metal.
  3. Use color, but no more than 3 colors or it will look to busy.
  4. Make sure you have all your contact information: fax, email, phone, website, and address. The more ways a customer or potential customer has to contact you the more likely they will be to do so.
Make sure your card is easy to read. Having white space makes your card easy on the eyes and more attractive looking. Crowded cards filled with too much information turns potential customers off. All you really need, is your logo, your company name, and contact information arranged in an attractive manner to make it something people will keep.
