relevant design to the industry at hand.

well. It has to be memorable and attractive to your<br />
audience because it bears the overall image of your<br />
business or company. Given this, you can leave a solid<br />
impression to those people whom you’ve shared a<br />
conversation with and handed over your business card.
3. Creative Logo<br />
In every business card, there should be a logo included.<br />
<strong>For</strong> this, you have to create a successful and creative logo<br />
design to be used not only for advertising materials but as<br />
well as your business card. <strong>Design</strong> your own logo or hire a<br />
professional designer to do it but don’t use clip art or stock<br />
photos. A timeless and successful logo could give you an<br />
edge among others.
4. Simplicity<br />
Keep it simple. That’s the main rule that you have to<br />
observe and use for your business cards. Create clutterfree<br />
and simple design by not using too much graphics.<br />
Avoid using too much colors, as much as possible use only<br />
one or two, and use a font that is easily legible. A clean<br />
and simple business card is a great marketing material to<br />
promote your business.
5. Contact Information<br />
Include all important contact information in your business<br />
card such as: your name, your title, the company name,<br />
the company address, your phone number, your fax<br />
number, your email address, and the company website<br />
address. Make sure to put updated information and don’t<br />
use old ones to ensure that people will be able to reach<br />
you anytime and anywhere.
6. Special Features<br />
Another important thing you have to consider in your<br />
business card are special features such as QR codes and<br />
the type of paper or other materials you will use for your<br />
business card. Nowadays, most people are including QR<br />
codes in their business cards in order for people to easily<br />
navigate their site by scanning the code. You can also<br />
maximize the space at the back for additional information<br />
such as social media sites.

a professional business card that’s worth handing over to<br />
every person you meet. To help you out in the layout and<br />
design, there are various software, resources and tools<br />
