Are business cards still a useful marketing tool?

Despite the growth of digital media and online marketing, there is still one marketing tool that is extremely effective yet relatively cheap!

Business Card!

If you have a high-quality business card to use for your business, you can instantly make a good impression. Business cards are a convenient, easy-to-use, easy-to-order, and flexible marketing tool that every business owner and team member should use.

So make sure you choose a high-quality printing company when you order your business cards online, and also make sure you design them carefully so you can get the most out of them. If you think very carefully about what you say on your cards, it can be used more as a marketing tool than just your contact details.

The good thing is that business cards ordered online these days are pretty cheap, but there are still some people looking for the cheapest cards they can find! I’m sure you’ve heard of the phrase “you get what you pay for”! Well, if you are not careful and choose the cheapest option that you can find online or offline, then you could be in danger of finding that when your business cards are delivered to you, they might be of poor quality and if you use poor quality cards, it will certainly reflect badly on you and your business when you give them out to people.

It’s vital to have basic details like your name, business address, email, landline and mobile phone numbers, and web address, but you can make your cards much more than just a list of contacts! Often people don’t use their cards to say something about themselves and their business. It is possible to create a very good first impression for you and your business. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to the design of your card.

As you think about what you want to put on your cards, here are some important tips to keep in mind.

Always pay attention to choosing the right color, style, and tone of your cards so that they reflect the business you’re in and the customers you’re trying to attract. So a good example of this is if you are in professional services like an accountant, lawyer or doctor, or if you have a business that requires you to have a very serious image, then make sure you choose a professional design that presents a serious image.

Don’t reduce what you pay and get a poor quality card. Always make sure that your cards are printed on high-quality cards. If the card is cheap or of poor quality, even the best printer in the world will not be able to produce a good quality printed finish! You want the look to be good so that you make an instant impression. They can be single or double-sided and printed in vibrant colors or plain black and white, depending on your business need. Although using a low-priced card may help you save some money, the resulting finished work would be of low quality, which in turn will affect your business image.

Using bold, bright colors is a great way to get someone’s attention quickly. By choosing an image that uses attention-grabbing colors, along with a good logo design, people will remember you and your business much faster and become angry more easily.

Some business names don’t make it immediately clear what that business does. A good way to not leave people guessing too much is to use a good tagline. This is usually a one line catchy phrase that provides a description of what your business does and the products and services you provide… don’t leave people guessing as they will give up trying to figure it out pretty quickly!

That goes a long way to making sure people can actually read what’s on your business cards! Make sure your card is clear and easy to read. Why not choose a font that is big enough for everyone to read? This sounds perfectly obvious, but I’ve seen a lot of trendy business cards that look great, but are hard to read and also understand what the company actually does. This is a classic case of style over substance!

We all want our business cards to look great, but ultimately they have to do a job for you, which is to present you professionally and communicate a message to the person you’re handing one to.
