The most frequently asked questions are related to business cards, the smallest in size and the smallest in prince printing that we offer. We get questions about advice for business card designs. Reflecting on it, it makes sense why people are concerned, particularly with the design and the outcome of the product.

My first set of business cards, came from Everex Systems, Inc, the company I began working at when I was only 18 years of age. It was my first real job and when I saw my name imprinted on those cards, I must have truly been glowing as Im sure you were when you got your first set of business cards. You don’t have to keep writing your name on scratch paper. Now that you have a business card, it can make you feel more important and professional.

Business cards reflect your personality and your business. It is necessary to carefully plan the design, and overall quality of your business cards. This is one of the most important marketing tool to promote your services and your business.

Does your business card show you are a professional and take your profession serious? Does your business card have the logo of another company on it because you got them for free? (yes, I mean Vista Print! Why are you advertising someone elses online printing business when after you pay for shipping and handling, you could have simply purchased your business cards somewhere else for the same total price?)

When you look at your card, does it reflect that you like color or do you go for formal and simple one because it only reflects your logo and your contact information?

Have you received business cards that were printed on a copy paper and was unevenly cut out? Have you printed a business card on an Avery business card and got easily smudged when wet? There might be tons of you who have previously done this. But seriously, do you think this will be effective?

Did you end up putting all your contact information in your business cards such as cell phone, home phone, office phone, skype phone etc? Overloading your business cards with tones of contact information makes it even more confusing. You will end up confusing your customers or clients where and how can they reach you.

Avoid using glamour shot photos or photos taken 10 years ago on your business cards. Choose photos that are not pixelated nor smudged. Refrain from using unrealistic photos of yours that doesnt even look like you anymore.

Check your company logo and see if its is pixelated. Avoid putting in poor quality image to avoid compromising the quality. Have you tried using the back side of your card for marketing purposes?

Since you only have a very small area, you need top carefully execute the design and best use the space for important information.

So, what should be on your business card?

First and foremost, have your business cards printed professionally. At http://PrinterBees.com, you can get 1000 color business cards, full color business cards for only $ 49, plus shipping and tax.

It is important to disclose your contact information but try to avoid to disclose every single contact information that you have. One phone number and One fax number. Refrain from putting in your home number and your personal mobile numbers. This will help you separate your personal from business life.

Place a head shot if needed. This will make it even more easier for people to remember who you are. Make sure that your head shot is updated once per year even if you gained 25 lbs. Avoid putting in photos that was taken 10 or 5 years ago.
