The business card is perhaps the best salesman that you can have. That is why it is essential that it contains much more than your name, address, and contact numbers and services. It should be designed keeping its purpose in mind - that is its being a powerful sales tool. So let's start with the design. If you want to create a business card that contains a photo with gradient colors you can try using a glossy paper to ensure that the cards are printed as good as they look on the screen. Or else, you can get disappointed with the print out.
The information on your card is just as important as the card itself. You must make sure that any web information is on the card. That means your website address and an email address. Without it, the card may be tossed! You are after ways to gain business relationships not cause aggravation.
Your business card must have something in it that would create an interest in the prospect to contact you. There are several ways to do this.
Don't use illustrations that are too detailed or delicate, as they may look muddy when printed at a small size.
The texture and card stock are vitally important, watch peoples reactions when you hand them a card that is elegant. Remember, your first impression is a lasting one - make it count.
Give your business cards to all your first time customers and promise them a discount on repurchase – this can be highly effective to increase your customer loyalty.
