Whether you’re at a professional networking event or ran into a potential client on the street, it’s important to present your company smoothly and professionally. One of the best ways you can do this is with business cards. Not only do they provide the recipient with your contact information, but they also demonstrate you’re prepared. To highlight that impression, here are a few additional tips.

How to Make a Great Impression With Business Cards

1. Choose the Right Design

A basic business card template is easy to come by and can be filled out right on your computer at home. But the visual result may be bland and forgettable. A graphic design professional will help make your cards attractive with colors, logos, and tailored layouts.

2. Personalize Them

More than just making your business cards look good, you want them to represent your brand. Don’t just choose any colors and graphics; use ones associated directly with your company or related to it in some way.

3. Choose Quality Printing

Office printers have come a long way, and if you really need to, you can run off a few cards at home or at the office. But for precision printing or effects like embossed letters, go with a professional print shop. The difference in the results is noticeable and significant.

4. Keep Them Handy

No matter how great your finished cards look, they’ll do you no good if you don’t have them with you or they’re hard to access. Keep them in your wallet or, even better, a pocket so you can hand them out in one smooth motion.

5. Add a Note

If you’ve been chatting with a potential contact about your work, you want them to remember the conversation. Add a note to your business card to remind them of what you talked about. You can also add more personal contact information if you want the person to be able to reach you directly.

With the right planning and professional services, your business cards will be a great way to advertise yourself, pick up clients, and build connections and partnerships. Start today to create or improve this marketing tool.
