When you present someone with one of your business cards, you will want it to be a positive reflection of yourself and the way that you conduct business. A polished and professional design that reflects some type of personalization will always be more appealing to the recipient. Therefore, it's important to note several tips whether you are choosing a business card printing service or creating your own design at home.

< If you are planning to use a business card printing service, check out their volume pricing discounts. Quite often, you will get a better deal per card if you purchase in quantity.

< Always add a business logo, monogram or some other type of personalization to make your business card stand out. This will give your card instant recognition as the recipient flips through his/her rolodex.

< When choosing your business card layout, make sure that the design suits your industry. For instance, a florist may prefer a rose logo while a handyman service would likely choose some type of tool for their design.

< Prior to approving a business card printing project, make sure that all of the details are correct. This includes your name, title, business name and contact information. It's easy to pay close attention to the design and overlook the most important aspect of a business card, which is the text. This is the information that others will use to contact you, so make sure that it's accurate and updated.

< Although business cards are small, try avoiding clutter. This means that your information should be typed in a font that is easily readable and not crowded by other words or images. At the same time, the font that you choose should be small enough to fit all of the information on the card while being large enough to read without difficulty.

Although small in size, business cards are one of your most powerful marketing tools. They do not require you to pay expensive advertising rates in a local publication and they never take up too much space. Therefore, these handy little cards are perfect for giving to current or potential clients. It's important to keep in mind that you will be presenting your card to someone who has also likely received business cards from others, which is why it is so important to choose your business card printing techniques carefully.

Whether you decide to hire a professional printer or opt for designing your own using a computer, consider the thickness of each card and the quality of the paper being used. If you cannot afford a business card printing service or do not have the time to wait for delivery, shop around for a reputable software program that features professional templates and one that is compatible with your computer.
