5 Tips For Building The Perfect Business Card

A business card is a marketing, networking, and business introduction staple. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes from mom and pop shops to major corporations. Running a business encompasses multiple roles from sole proprietor to small business owner to manager to CEO. Since no two businesses are alike and no two business owners are alike, no two businesses can be marketed in exactly the same way. All businesses have one marketing feature in common, though – business cards.

A business card is one of the most timeless, iconic pieces of printed marketing real estate you’ll ever own. That means you need to get it right the very first time. While many corporations have a predesigned business card whose only customizable feature is your name, small businesses have far more creative flexibility. Small business owners have a built-in competitive advantage because they can create highly customized, hyper-focused business cards that speak right to the heart of their ideal consumers.

At MYDPRINT, our team of graphic designers created the self-directed design tool you need to build the business card your company deserves. Our cards are easy to design, produced on luxe, 14 pt card stock, and professionally printed and delivered. Once you’re on our business card builder page, simply select your preferred business card size and click the red Design it button to get started. Start with one of our premade templates or design your own card from scratch. These five steps will help you create a unique-to-your-business card you won’t see anywhere else.

1. Upload your custom logo. Make sure you own the appropriate rights and licenses to any images you upload to our site, please. A plethora of images and clipart is also available in our design tool’s library.
2. Choose (or upload) a font that represents your brand well. We have an impressive array of fonts to choose from. Keep in mind, though, that part of building a brand is creating recognizability, so if you already have a font your target market recognizes, stick with it.
3. Don’t make customers search for information. Give your business a personal touch by including your full name and title and your business’ name.
4. Make it just as easy for potential customers to find you. If your business is entirely ecommerce, include your URL. If you’re a brick and mortar retailer, include your physical address.
5. Feature your company’s tagline or slogan, a witty saying, or a humorous quote. In other words, add something you don’t typically see on business cards that will make yours stand out.

Business cards are an ideal way to leave your mark. It’s easy to display a stack of cards on your desk in one of our card holders, blow your custom card up into a poster or banner to grab attention at live events, and carry a stack with you at networking and industry events. Your goal is to create a memorable presence. Our goal is to help you create the marketing and promotional presence that leads to success.
