Technology has made business cards quick nowadays. You might sign up for a printing account and select a style you like, fill in the blanks, order and you are set. Or you can print your own business cards with Microsoft Word, Google, Vistaprint or other providers using their templates. When you do that, you will be restricted to what they offer in terms of images, fonts, sizes, papers, and finishing options. You will be restricted, and so will be the possibilities to show up your business in the first impression on potential clients. Â
Remember that some providers just deliver what they are charging you – a $10 dollar business card, and only that. Keep in mind that a poor quality business card invariably implies a business with inferior quality products or services, whether they are or not. If there is one thing we do not want is to have a business card that is likely to keep prospective customers away.
Cheaper cards do not have your real logo, colours might not match your website/brand, and their styles are shareable to anybody. I have already seen two companies using the same business card template in the same event. A professional graphic designer will help you incorporate your business in the card layout to evoke trust.Â
In short, your card should be special, unique and memorable to add value to your brand. Consequently, it will allow your potential customer to find it among the hundreds they might have easily. It is not difficult to have a fantastic card that is affordable for your business, as a rule.Â
