 As a small business owner, you always have to be on your toes, in order to network or acquire new customers.  It’s extremely important to convey a professional image at all times and to know how to use your business card to its maximum potential. Here are a few basic rules to follow.

-          Do not hand out your business card to everyone you see. It’s true that you want as many people as possible to become familiar with your business, but that’s what advertising is for. You shouldn’t slip business cards into people’s hands or interrupt them while their speaking with someone else. Common courtesy applies.

Just because you handed out one hundred business cards at a tradeshow doesn’t mean you actually made meaningful connections.  Be selective about the people you choose to share your information with.

-          When someone asks for your card, ask for one of theirs in return. If nothing else, this will allow you to contact them at a later date, to follow up, and to capitalize on your meeting.

-          When receiving someone’s business card, treat it with respect.  Do not stuff it immediately into your pocket or purse.  Actually look at. Commit the person’s name to memory, and make sure you have the correct pronunciation. Now is the time to ask these questions, not later.

-          Before you hand over your business card, write a quick note on the back, regarding what you talked to this person about or why they need your information.  This will trigger their memory later on and keep you top-of-mind.

-          Never include a business card in emotional or personal correspondence. Whether it’s condolences or congratulations, it’s not about you.

 Follow these simple rules to make the most of your business card and all of your interactions.

With graduation season in full swing, there will soon be a lot of recent-grads looking to enter the work force.  Make sure your graduate is properly equipped with custom business cards.

You don’t need decades of work experience under your belt in order to convey professionalism.  A well-designed business card on quality stock is an important networking tool for anyone, especially those who are searching for jobs.  Design a simple, uncluttered card for your graduate.  Include their important contact information, their web site, areas of interest, or the degree they received.   Consider using the back of the card as well.  Add a calendar or have your graduate list their most marketable skills or distinguishing attributes.  

Your recent-grad will go forth with confidence as they network and interview.

For a thoughtful graduation gift, try pairing custom business cards with a personalised engraved pen!

As a small business owner, you know that money doesn’t grow on trees. You must take advantage of every opportunity to promote your landscaping company. Of course, creating a quality business card is a simple step that will help to grow your business.

Can I design business cards that look like Victorian calling cards?

You’ve always been an admirer of Victorian times and wish you could fit some of the elegance and style of the period into your life. As you look at the options to design business cards on Vistaprint, you realize that some of the floral template designs are just beautiful and bring the Victorian style to mind. However, your business needs call for a very sophisticated, stark style. You take one last look at your favorite floral design. You have already hit the back button on your browser when you remember a scene from your favorite movie where the lead actress dropped a card onto a tray when she stopped in to visit a friend unannounced. Seconds later, you’re looking at that floral design again, because you’ve decided to make your own Victorian style calling cards.

To turn a business cards design into a Victorian calling card, you only need to make a few adjustments.

• 1. Choose a line on the card template that is near the middle of the card. Usually, this is the “Address Line 2″ space. Type your full name.
• 2. If the text isn’t large enough for your taste or if you would like a different font, click on the advanced editing feature and make your changes.
• 3. Initial the proof and finalize your order.

Every year businesses send out Christmas Cards to their clients and customers wishing them happy holidays and seasons greetings. This is a generous notion and also a great way to have your customers keep you in mind.

The only problem is that a holiday card has a very short shelf life, especially a Christmas card not from family. It’s hard enough even remembering all the Christmas cards received last year. Make your holiday cards stick out a little more by putting business cards in with them. Business cards have a muchlonger shelf life than Christmas cards and they are much easier to carry and hold on to. This way you will not only show your customers how much you value them, but also have them keep you in mind both during and after the holiday season.

When designing your business cards, fonts are an important thing to keep in mind.  A font is the particular character set or typeface that you use on your card.  On a small surface such as a business card, you want all type to be easy to read, especially upon a quick glance. 

Consider serifs and sans-serif fronts. Serif fonts have structural details, like feet, on the ends of every line. They tend to be more traditional.  Sans-serifs, meaning “without serifs,” do not have these details, and tend to be simpler.  Also, try to stay away from a lot of script or elaborate, hard to read lettering. 

Choose a font that complements your business.  If you own a gym, you may want a thick font with more weight.  If you are a wedding planner, use a font that is more feminine and elegant. 

The color of type is also something important to consider.  Not all colors work well with all fonts.
