BUSINESS CARDS

One of the main reasons why business cards have stood the test of time is because they are so versatile and easy to take with you anywhere. Simply keep a few in your wallet and you will be prepared in any type of situation. A business card is an easy way to share both your brand and contact details with new connections to ensure they remember you.

At ZipPrint we have a wide range of business cards. These can have the option of a matt or gloss cello finish, or specialised finishes including UV spot or foiled.

Are business cards still relevant? 

Some may argue that because everything is now going digital, business cards have become redundant. This, however, isn’t always necessarily the case. Depending on the particular industry, you may be surprised by the number of people you come across who are still barely online. This is why it’s best to also have a business card prepared just in case. Your business card can also include social handles, website and email addresses to ensure you are covering all bases. 

Business card design tips

In many cases, your business card will act as a first impression that potential new clients or prospective business associates will receive. As we all know, a good first impression is critical and this is why time and effort must go into your business card design. An effective business card design will be simple and straight to the point. It’s recommended that you don’t try cram too much information onto the card, keep it simple by including: 

• Your name & title
• Company name 
• Phone number 
• Email address 
• Website
• Socials (only if relevant to the business) 

Select a clear and readable font, keep with the colour scheme of your brand and ensure the to triple check the information before sending it to print! Spelling and grammar mistakes on a business card will look extremely unprofessional and can even turn away some potential clients.
