The increase in printing technology brings with it an increase in the number of things a person can do with their marketing material. You have so many different options open to you now than you had just twenty years ago.
Taking this and looking at business card printing, I’ve come across some very interesting looking custom business cards people have managed to create. Everything about the business card is now yours to design however you want, to make the perfect business card for you, but too often people forget about the things that a business card needs to be effective.
The first goal of a business card is still to give someone your contact information. This is what no other type of marketing natural does. Yes, you might have contact information on a postcard or flyer, but these are known in the business world as a source of contact information. The original purpose of business cards was to help people know how to get into contact with you, and people are going to take them for this very reason.
A full color business card is going to do wonders to get your card noticed out of all the cards a person is being handed, but don’t let the colors get in the way of your contact information.
I’ve seen people who are reducing the size of their phone number so much is struggle to see it. All of the best colors aren’t going to do a thing for your business cards if a person has to search in order to find out who you are or how to contact you.
This is the second thing to consider: your name and company name. This, too, I’ve found to be given a second-class treatment when someone is doing their business card printing. They’re so caught up in making sure that their business card looks as amazing as possible, that it becomes as memorable as possible, they forget to make their own name prominent.
Suddenly I start remembering the business card itself better than I do who gave it to me. How is this going to help a company when I’m not even sure who the company is?
The first thing you should be asking yourself when it comes time for designing your business card is your name and your contact information. You need to make sure that these are easy to find and easy to read.
Once you have these two primary things finished with, only then should you move on to making your card memorable. If the creative part of your card is closely tied with your business or industry you’ll also be in a better position to have people remember who you are.
Everyone wants a custom business card to call their own. Just make sure you don’t forget about what all business cards need in your quest to make yours the most unique one possible.
