Handing out your business cards is like having a box of chocolates where you never know what you’re going to get next. Same with the exchange of business cards; you’ll never know how your target client would react to your business card printing project. Either they accept your business card or reject it.

In business card printing, it’s all about what elements you have included in your design that would make your target client keep your business card. Here are the 5 top most elements that your business card printing should never go without.

Number 5: Fax Number. Although there’s the ubiquitous email and web message, there are still those who prefer using fax machines to relay messages. That is why your fax number should be up there along with your telephone number just to be sure that you cover all the possible areas of getting connected.

Number 4: Web Site. Who doesn’t have a website nowadays? Your business card printing project should have the information where your reader could link to your website if they want to check out your company’s information and work experience.

Number 3: Telephone/Mobile Number and Email Address. It’s either the telephone or mobile phone (because just about everybody has a mobile phone, not to mention that a telephone is an important item in every household or office) for communication; or the email when busy clients would prefer to contact you via this medium. 

Number 2: Company Name. Your company name is as important as your contact information. So never go without your company name in your business card printing project.

And the Number 1: Company Logo. Your logo is your company statement. It is how you can be recognized and be remembered by your readers.

By making sure that the top 5 elements are in your business cards, business owners can guarantee that theirs won’t be included with those thrown in the garbage bin.
