Business cards are much more than a convenient means to leave your contact information with a prospect. Today, a business card can be an ad...a mini-brochure...a discount card...or even CD-ROM presentation.

The new type of business card magnets are very effective. They usually end up on refrigerators and are not thrown away or forgotten about. Having your business card on your prospects frige so that they see it just about daily is fantastic advertising with a minimum expense involved.

Before you even think about designing your card, you should first decide what you want it to do...which unfortunately most businessmen (and businesswomen) forget.

When thinking about a design for your business card, start with the style that best supports the image you wish to project. After all - your card is an extension of the product or service you provide...and it should support whatever image you desire for yourself and your business.

What you do with a business card (yours as well as others) has far more to do with the sales you generate than your card design.

Use a legible font on your card and keep it large enough to be read - nothing smaller than 10 points, if possible. Save the odd color schemes or clever graphics for another time - you take your business (and your profits) seriously after all...so your card should reflect that.

The most common mistake in your card design is overcrowding. Remember, the truly essential information on any business card is your name, your company name, your main phone number...and especially important nowadays - your email address and website.

Very often, your business card determines what (if anything) that your prospect remembers about you after your initial meeting.
