Good Advice for Business Cards



Coroflot recently published seven points about popular business card design options. There is some good advice for common approaches and the pitfalls to avoid. Pica + Pixel stand by their belief that, even in this age of digital communication, face-to-face meetings and the impact of a well-designed business card are still a must for any creative career. You'd be surprised how many opportunities you'll have to hand out your business card once you have some – weddings, funerals, lunches, art openings, dinner with family – you never know where your next client might be.

What's everyone's opinion: Is it better to use the business card from your job? Or a more creative looking one just for yourself?

I love the idea of a personal card. The calling card. But then again, a professional card is always nice, too.
Seems to me the best thing to do is get both.

Of course, I'm a printer.

1. Hand out business cards liberally to everyone and anyone you meet – personal and business. Make sure you keep them wherever they’ll be needed – desk, briefcase, wallet, glove compartment, etc.


2. Enter business cards in drawings at local business, restaurants, etc.


3. Make sure your business cards are displayed and available at strategic locations targeting intended customers
