Business Card Design Tips That Work

Shawn Nag

August 2, 2009

Have you ever thought that business cards can be used as a marketing tool? If you answer “no” to this question then you are not alone. Most people fail to realize the importance of business cards and the impact they can have on  business. In fact, if designed in the right way, your business card can create that valuable first impression on your future clients. Just imagine how you would feel holding someone’s business card which is designed in a sloppy way!

Since first impression is the last impression, don’t let go of this opportunity to impress potential customers. Below I have mentioned some tips that will help you to design impressive business cards:

  • Logo – Use your company’s logo on your business card. If you don’t have one then it’s high time to get one designed. Take professional help if necessary.
Use your logo on your business card
  • KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) – Some people try to put everything about their business on the business card. Avoid clutter!
Design Simple Business Cards
  • Color – Use colors that are used on other stationary of your company. It will give you a unique identity. Stay away from flashy colors.
Use a balanced color scheme for business cards
  • Contact Details – Include website address and your email ID on your business card. Just the postal address and the phone number won’t be enough for net savvy customers.
Put your contact details on your business card
  • Use the back of the card – Put a map or some other useful information at the back of your card.
Put useful information like maps at the back of business cards
  • Readability – Don’t use tiny fonts or those which are too much stylistic. You don’t want your customers to read your business card using glasses.

Make your business cards easily readable

Hope you’ll find these tips to be useful for designing a great business card that would make a wonderful first impression on your would-be customers. If you need any help regarding this, we are always ready to help you at PrintPapa.

    “Use the back of the card”–so true! A few years ago a very successful businessman told me that if you watch, when you hand people your card, they always flip it over to see if anything is on the back–I started watching and he was right!
