Here Are The Must-Know Secrets To A Great Business Card

written by Yuan-Wei Tan


Even in this paperless, Cloud-backed, wireless era, nothing can impress employers or clients as easily and quickly as a good business card.

Business cards are a great way to combine exchanging information with getting attention and appearing professional. Drake Baer at The Business Insider says that "business cards aren't just for giving people your contact info; they also launch conversations and spur relationships."

Baer and his colleague Skye Gould interviewed Chicago-based freelance designer Margot Harrington and Teresa Pereira, VP of brand and communication at online design shop Moo.com, to find out what she thinks is the best way to design your business card.

Pereira states that the design of your card should reflect what aspect of yourself you wish to promote. A simple, minimalist design is best for promoting yourself as business-like while someone like a designer trying to promote a portfolio would be better suited with an aesthetically pleasing design.
