Why Business Cards Matter
Long before Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter were invented, business cards were already created to assist businessmen to gain personal acknowledgment as well as for people to reach them whenever they want to know more about their products or services. A business card generally includes the giver’s name, company or business affiliation (usually with a business logo), and contact information such as street addresses, telephone numbers, fax number, email addresses, and website.
Apart from these details, there are a lot of reasons why business cards are valuable, not just in the business setting but also in other areas. Here we discuss the key reasons why business cards matter.
Aids Client in Remembering You
While it also expresses a message for customers to be in touch with you, a business card also acts as a manner for clients and friends not to forget you after a first meeting. Because of this, a lot of business owners put their image on their card to bring out customers’ memories regarding the events of their meeting. Other businessmen leave the back of the card blank so that they can use it for jotting down personal message to its receiver, another way to help customers recall them by just looking at their card.
Provides Contact Information
One fundamental role of a business card is to share contact information to people. Whenever you meet a potential client or colleague, for example, you can easily leave a business card for that certain person to contact you easily and conveniently. Having a card handy works much faster than writing your name and number down. It is also easier for the recipient to read your contact details on a professional business card. There are software programs that allow people to scan your card into a digital contact database too.
A Reflection of Your Company’s Values
A business card can act as a piece of your company’s marketing strategic plan. Although you may look at it as a small card, it portrays your company’s values and its approach to business. With this, the card needs to have an appropriate design to convey the spirit of your company’s culture.
Creates a Professional Presence
A business card is a simple but compelling way to demonstrate your professionalism. It is usual when you meet someone for the first time in a business setting to exchange business cards. If the other person has a card and you don’t, it might lead them to question your professionalism— worse, it can lead to a negative impression. Pulling out a well-designed and informative business card and presenting it after the initial handshake and greeting affirm your professionalism to the prospect, contact, or associate.
Company Promotion
One common marketing communication goal for a company is to create awareness, and a business card is one of the most cost-effective tools to achieve this goal. Your card serves as a concrete reminder to those you meet about your company and its products or services. For a realtor, for example, getting cards in the hands of as many locals as possible sets the stage for future contact opportunities. When a customer decides to list or buy a home, he might call the friendly agent who left him or her a card. A quality design and your logo strengthen the brand recognition of a card.
So don’t create a downplay impression towards this helpful piece of paper. It may seem small to look at but it has all the convincing and informative powers that people need in this competitive world that. Especially when dealing with business proposals and the likes. No wonder why these cards will always be a part of recognizing businesses.

Having a great design should always be part of the process when getting a business card. Always keep in mind that it is an introduction of yourself and a representation of what your company is all about.

Invest in a good quality with an amazing card design. Below are some common types of business cards that are widely utilized:
- The classic or generic one. If you can’t think of any good layout. You can opt for this type. It has a standard format, and all information are already added. You can even design it per your liking.
- The creative business card. There are designers who really like to play with various patterns for business cards. There are some with huge folded format that turns the card into a small brochure, while others choose tiny sizes. Either way, it can be a good way to get your card noticed when you give it, but you should also think about how people will store your card. Use cutting wisely, and you could create an awesome and unique one.

How to Make Your Own Business Card
One of the best ways to communicate with other people or to keep in touch with work contacts is through business cards. It is a good thing to have one when you are out there socializing with your clients about work and any other related topics. It is not necessary to spend lots of money when you have a choice to make your own.
Keep these tips in mind when you’re working on designing your own business card:
- Use a particular software on your desktop (Microsoft Office Publisher). If you don’t have the program, you can download a trial version for free.
- Choose a design. Click “Design sets” and find the format of business card you like. All business cards are in the far left column.
- Fill out the proper information on the business card. Make sure you have a company logo on your computer and paste it in the appropriate area (the area will vary depending on the format of the card).
- Print a test sheet of business cards. When you finalize your design, print a test sheet on a plain white sheet of copy paper. Review the test sheet to make sure the cards look the way you want them to. Also, review the test sheet for spelling errors or other inaccurate information. You may want someone else to review the test print for errors as well.
- Tear or cut the cards. If you are using perforated business card sheets, tear along the perforated lines. If you printed the cards on cardstock, use a paper cutter or the ruler and scissors to cut them out.
Benefits of a Business Card
In today’s technological advancement where social media and smartphones are easier to use to connect with other people, still there is one important thing that digital equipment can’t replace: the small but amazing business cards. Whether you’re a job seeker trying to network efficiently or a small organization trying to expand, business cards are a must. Business cards can be purchased easily, and their benefits are broad.
- Advertising. Business cards can be used as a little form of advertising. As such, they should represent the business in both words and design. A well-designed card is one that the recipient wants to hang onto and one that stands out above other business cards, something that catches clients’ attention.
- Availability. We love convenience, and business cards offer a quick and easy way to exchange contact information with colleagues on the spot, giving you the option to save the hard copy or store the information digitally. Business cards are small enough to fit in your wallet, pocket, or purse for easy access; and with new technology, it’s even possible to scan business card information and store it in a contact database too.
- Reliability. A business card can represent trustworthiness, honesty, and reliability that a company or businessperson would affix his or her name and number to a physical card. Not only is a company’s reputation or credibility is at stake if no business cards are used, but the company stands the chance of being forgotten when a potential customer leaves from the company’s or agent’s presence.
- Exchanging of contact information digitally is a bit informal. Networking is about making real connections. Sending contact information via text or email on the spot is convenient, but it is also extremely impersonal. Engaging in eye contact and actual conversation is how real relationships from a customer to a representative began.
- Business cards show you are prepared. If you met two individuals and one was rushing to find a pen and something to write on and the other person simply pulled out a business card, who would you want to do business with? Showing that you are prepared at all times is a great indicator that you are being professional.
Aside from including your key contact information, it is also necessary for your card to also be attractive and memorable. Your business card should be an extension of your overall company brand and yourself as well.
Though some prefer to make their own cards, some still want the convenient way, and that is by downloading precreated card templates. When we say precreated, all key information are already included. A certain design is already printed too. So if you are that individual who prefers to download a ready-made card, then these business card samples that we have are perfect for you. Not just that, you can edit them depending on what you want. For an easier way of obtaining amazing and artistic business cards, download any of these.
