Design a Business Card Yourself with these Can't Miss Tips

A great business card can make you stand out against competitors. Grab attention and design a business card using these helpful tips and when you're ready print them on our paper!

Make it legible: Be sure the font(s) you choose are easy to read. As a general rule, don’t go smaller than an 8 pt font. Also your font choice itself should capture the feeling of your card. Don’t pick something ostentatious if you are trying to be more sophisticated or a super script that is hard to read.

Triple check it over: Before you print your cards triple check your artwork and type is all-correct. I suggest even having someone else read it over. Sometimes after reading something you’ve created so many times you look past any errors. How disheartening finding an error after printing!

Add a picture: To design a business card, the brand image is a must. Having a photo, whether it is a picture of you, a cute drawing, part of your logo can help not only distinguish yourself but can help communicate the feel of your business without clutter. It could also help a contact more likely to remember you.

Multipurpose it: Certain businesses might want to use their card as a promotion tool as well. Cards can be used for coupons, appointment reminders, or something else pertaining to your business. Maybe a dog grooming place would create cards owners could trade in for a treat for their pooch.
