Creating an eye-catching business card

Business cards are a great way to maximise offline marketing for any company, and that’s why getting the design and content right is so important. Business cards are an easy way for potential or existing customers to have your details at hand, in their wallet or bag.

Business cards should represent your company by incorporating brand identity within them, including colour, typography and logo. When it comes to the colour, bright business cards may stand out, however, a bright background may be distracting, so alternatively you could opt to add your brands colour into the text, keeping a plain black or white background.

It is important not to overcrowd your business card, include only direct contact details, the company name and logo, an overcrowded business card can have the opposite effect to what you want.

Once you are happy with the design, choose a reputable printing firm to produce an example of your business card design. Check all content is correct, and the quality of ink and card is of a good standard, then place a batch order and start distributing them.
