NameThis is the most important feature of a business card. Include the business name (or organization), the individual and the title of the job.

AddressIf the business has a physical location, then an address should always be on your business cards. To add an exclusive element to your card, you can incorporate a map on the back of it showing the exact location of your business. This will allow customers to easily find it. If your company is exclusively online, then there is no need to include an address.

Phone NumberIf you have multiple business numbers, make sure that you place the most important number listed first. Make sure you include hyphens or periods between the numbers to make it easier to read. Try not to include “fancy” fonts as it can make it more difficult to read. Stay consistent with the style of your card and ALWAYS check for accuracy before sending it to a printing company.
