Business Cards
Having personalized business cards with current information is as rudimentary as having an updated copy of your resume. Giving out your business card can mean the difference between being remembered or being forgotten. These little cards are the easiest way to pass on the information most vital to remembering you and contacting you.
Personally, I like to use both sides of a business card. On the front, I put my logo, company name, address and phone numbers. On the back, I list the URLs of my related Websites. Others use the space on the back for a short list of their experience and skills. Information not only helps people remember you, but it also helps them make decisions. Using both sides of the card allows you to pack a little more data onto your business card without crowding it all on the face.
For over a decade I’ve used PageMaker to create my own business cards. I would rather create and print 100 cards at a time than place an order for 500 cards, mostly because I move around a lot. But whether you make your own or order them made ready-made, remember to use fonts that can be quickly and easily deciphered. When it comes to fonts, resist the urge to be cute or unique.
