Business Cards



One of the first things that a new business person does when setting up shop is designing and printing up some business cards. Often that first batch of cards is a quickie job - a basic layout printed from a desktop printer. When you're ready to trade in those temporary cards for the real thing - or better yet, do it right the first time - don't rely on the templates and skip the confusion of the “create it yourself” online sites… Have 360 Graphics design and print your business cards at the highest quality.

A business card is your lifeline to customers. A business card is one of the most basic – and useful – marketing tools on the planet. It really can play a big role in helping you gain, or lose the interest of a potential customer. Your card represents you when you are no longer there, or many even be the “face” of you and your business to people who’ve never met you. You need a well-designed business card that conveys the proper image and information about your business. And it has to be concise. An effective business card can:

1. Serve as a silent salesperson. Long after the customer has received it, a business card is a reminder of a product or service.
2. Provide superior customer service to clients. A properly executed business card saves the customer time by putting them directly in touch with the right person.
3. Communicate a message to customers about your business.
4. Create repeat customers since they have a reminder in their business card file of your business.
5. Be a word-of-mouth marketing tool if you ask every customer to pass on your business card to friends and colleagues.

How 360 designs cards:
Your business card should reflect your image. You may prefer a straightforward design with a logo and contact information. If you're in a creative field, you'll need to show some personality on your card. In other professional industries, such as real estate, a photograph may be appropriate.

When sending us the details:
Your business card design should include all of the information you want your clients to have, but beware of making the business card look like the fine print of a credit card. It seems obvious, but oftentimes the business card is the first thing that small business owners set up, before they have a physical address, website or email addresses. So take some time and make sure the only information you want on the card will benefit you.

Don't forget about the back!
Take advantage of the real estate on the back of your card and print additional marketing messages, directions, coupons and more.
