 Business Cards Don’t
Have To Be Boring
• Business cards are an ever popular form of promotion, handy
when networking, meeting with prospective clients/customers
and entering the occasional business card prize draw!

• Grab a handful of the business cards which you've accumulated

recently and you'll notice that they all look pretty much the
same.

– White background? Check.

– No photo? Check.
– Rectangular shape? Check.

business card is going to stand out.

 Add a Photo!
• This will help to jog people's memories,
chances are if you are at an event or
networking etc, you will get lots of business
cards.

• If you are talking to lots of people and taking

their cards, chances are that they are too. So
it's important to ensure that you get
remembered. People are forgetful, they
won't remember your name after meeting
you once for a brief time. But faces, they are
unforgettable.

• Make your mark with a professional photograph on your

card and you will increase the chances of getting that all
important phone call or email!

 Add Some Colour!
• So many business cards make little use of colour, partly
because it'll cost more to print in multiple colours, but
partly because it's traditional. Why not use colour to your
advantage and spruce things up a little? In a stack of white
cards, a bright card is going to get noticed.

 Consider Other Shapes
• Why stick with a rectangle? Rectangles are not the only
option! Think outside the box. Some fantastic inspiration
for business cards can be seen here.

• Maybe you sell a particular product, brainstorm some

related shapes. Sell cars? Why not have a car shaped
business card? This visual aid is going to set you apart.

 Thanks For Reading!
• We have covered just three
considerations here. The key
message is that no matter what
the design, shape or size of your
business card, make sure that you
are getting the right message
across. Everything on that card
should encourage people to reach
out and make contact.
