Major Components to Effective Business Cards
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009The biggest question is how much information should you add on your business card?
Stating the obvious, you of course have to include your name, and your business name.
Your job title.
You should include a business email address so potential clients can contact you online.
Include your business website, only if you have one.
You may also choose to include your Twitter, Facebook or other favorite social networking site. Don’t over board with this, but including one or two could give you a great way to interact online.
Include your business phone, this can be a business line in your home, or even a cell phone clients are able to reach you on.
Depending on the type of customers you are looking for (on location, or online, etc), you will want to include your business address.
A tagline or motto for your business, or what you do in a few words (think about Twitter and shorten up a statement that rounds up your business). This gives your customers a feeling of what your business can do for them.
A logo or graphic for your potential clients to remember you by. Having your picture on your business cards gives them personality. A great logo with stand out colors is great.
Be certain that your business card printing is done with great quality and will make a great first impression for you. The most memorable cards are the best.
On the reverse side add bits of information. Either in relation to your company, or in your field to help your customers will add character to your cards.
