If you want to make a good impression on colleagues, associates and friends, a well designed business card can make a huge impact on potential clients and on your business. It reflects on your professionalism and its design can tell volumes about the sort of businessperson you are.
A designer should take into account various factors while designing a card. A business card design requires creativity and imagination of a designer. You should create a card in such a way so that it appears professional and reflects the true value or vision of a company. One should keep a standard size of the card.
It might take some time to determine what the image of your business should be. In some instances, you might create several business cards that portray your business in slightly different terms. If your company works with a wide range of clients, this might be effective. Some businesses need to portray a certain image. Those involved in financial matters should have a professional business card design that will inspire trust. If your business specializes in artistic or creative pursuits, a business card should reflect this.
Many websites allow users to design business cards online with easy. Before starting the design online, you need to have a clear idea of the information elements of your business cards - the information about you and the information about your business. It’s very common and a great idea to print the URL of your website on the business card.
For example, a wedding planner or better yet, a cake decorator who uses a picture of a traditional wedding cake and traditional fonts on her business card is likely to attract a different clientele than one who uses a picture of a more unusual cake and modern fonts.
It may be tempting to use an unusual font for fun, but make sure your text is legible. If your card can't be read easily, there's little purpose in having one in the first place.
A business card can easily be created using Word, and you can personalize it with your choice of text style and graphics. Alternatively you may wish to design a card for a society or association with which you are involved. Think carefully about what information you want to include on your card, and double check that all your contact details are correct.
If you have experimented with spacing and formatting, but find you don't like the results, the quickest way to remove the changes is to click on the Undo button on the Word toolbar of your personal computer. Each click you make takes you back a stage in the development
of your document. If all fails, have the card printed at your local print shop, save the document onto your hard drive
then copy it onto a floppy disk.
The way we interact with business cards has changed however the importance of having a business card that represents your business has not. Meeting someone for the first time face to face is still brings out traditional tried and true business card. The lasting impression, the memory jogger that can set you apart from everyone in the room.
