Whether you decide to buy some, or create them for yourself, they are a very important part of any business.
Let's start with the basics for getting these correct.
The size of business cards shouldn't exceed 3 1/2 by 2 inches (which is 8.
89 by 5.
08cm); anything bigger won't fit into a wallet or most business card holders.
The information you show should have the basics: name, company name, address, contact number, email, website and tag line if your business have one.
You may miss off some or include other information; it all depends on your type of business and the message you want to get across to your potential customer.
When looking at any business card it should do the following: tell the reader the company name or website, contact number, contact name and email, more information the better but do not overload it to make it look cramped.
This little card should represent your small business even if you are not there physically; it should showcase your products or service to your potential customer.
Your card should be telling this individual what he or she needs to know because you are not there to.
Never assume the reader will know something about you or your small business, don't think that there's no need to put certain details on your business card because you will tell them that piece of information.
Forget it, why, because that person you were or are going to speak to will forget most or even all the information you tell them, especially if they are not interested in what you have to offer, all they will have to remind them of you is your business card.
