What should be a business card

Today there are a huge number of ways to introduce yourself, your team or company. So, you can create a website that in all colors tells about the benefits of a particular team or person, you can stick on the posts in the old fashioned ads and tell about yourself. But in a completely unique way, a simple business card can briefly, concisely and compactly present a person, his skills or company.

What it is

First you need to understand the concepts. The term “visiting card” is of foreign origin, but despite this, it has perfectly taken root in the post-Soviet space. This is one way of self-presentation of a person or his company. The business card contains a brief set of the most important information that a potential client may need.

Standards

Making a business card easy and hard at the same time. It will not be difficult for anyone to just come to the agency and order yourself the right amount of these pieces of paper. But, wanting to get a quality product, you need to think through all the details. So, a business card has a standard size - 5x9 cm. By this standard, by the way, all card holders and cardholders are designed. And on this small piece of paper you need to try to fit as much useful information as possible, as well as the company logo or photo of the person. In our country, most business cards are bilateral, but European business etiquette does not allow this. It is believed that the reverse side of a business card should be clean so that a person, if necessary, can write down the information that he needs or important, in his opinion.

Types of business cards

If you want to make yourself business cards, you should understand that there are several types of them. First of all, this is a personal business card that gives information about a particular person. Mandatory in such a business card are the name and contact details of the person - phone, website. Home address or position can be specified as desired. This document may also display a family crest or photo of a person, but this is also not necessary.

The next type of business cards is business. These are the most common business cards since at business meetings or negotiations, briefly leaving information about your company in a different way is impossible. It indicates the name and contact details of the person who manages the company or enterprise, as well as the company name and logo.

Corporate business cards - the last type - are most often bilateral, they are used mainly at presentations as advertisements. The text provided should contain as complete information as possible about the company, contact details, even a map of directions is desirable.

Design

Personal business cards, as well as, for example, a family business card , do not have a strictly approved form and can have any design. Here you can decorate it as your heart desires. But it’s worth remembering the main rule that such documents should not be oversaturated with paints, because the main thing here is information that is important to the client. The business card of a team or company must correspond to a specific style that is characteristic of the company. These business cards are strict, least colored and as informative as possible.
