Your logo, company name, and slogan

Your logo is the visual identity of your business, and your company name is its verbal identity. Both should be prominently displayed on your business card. Why? They're the first things that people associate with your brand. They tell your audience what your company does and what it stands for, adding a sense of credibility and professionalism. Be sure to use a high-quality image for your logo and let it breathe - don't cramp it with too much text or design elements. As for your company name, spell it out in full to avoid any confusion.

A catchy tagline or slogan succinctly communicates your brand's unique value proposition. If your business name isn't self-explanatory, a tagline can fill in the gaps and immediately convey what you offer.

Your name and title

Adding your full name and title to your business card creates a personal connection with your audience. It serves as a memory jogger and underscores your area of expertise. This information is particularly vital if you're in a client-facing position, as it allows potential clients to put a face to a name and remember you for your skills and services.

Contact information and social media

Including your contact information - your email, phone number, and physical address (if applicable) - is a no-brainer. But did you know that not having a website address in 2023 can take away from the credibility of your business? A website is non-negotiable these days. It shows that you mean business and invites potential clients to learn more about your offerings at their convenience.

Social media is a potent tool for connecting with your audience as well. Including your social media handles on your business card encourages potential clients to engage with your brand on various platforms. It also signals that your brand is active, updated, and in touch with the latest trends, which is great for building trust. We recommend having at least both your Facebook and Linkedin profiles on your business card.

Consider a QR code

Incorporating a QR code into your business card design is a creative way to provide more information without cluttering the card. It could lead to your website, your portfolio, a special promotion, or even your business's story, fostering deeper engagement with your brand. This has become popular as smartphones have made it easier to scan qr codes in recent years.
