Default Show me your business card
Would anyone mind sharing their business card? I'm not sure what I should put on mines. Calendar, services or a blank back? Company name or just use my name? Title? No Title? etc.

Anyway. Thanks for sharing!

I used VistaPrint for mine. They're really good for designs - have many templates, plus you can upload your logo etc. I have my logo, tag line, my name w/ title ("Owner / Virtual Assistant"), my cell phone, fax, email & website. I don't use my address on my cards, since it's my home address. VistaPrint gives you options for the back - I just have "Thank you for your business" and my website again.

Hope this helps!

On the front, I have my logo, name w/title, cell phone, fax, website address, email and on the back, I have my tag line in bigger font.

I'm still in the process of designing mine but it will have:
FRONT

Company name
Tag
My Name
Mobile
Email
Website

Back
Brief Services List

My partner did a list of services on his property miantenance business card and it worked really well for him.

I also hear that a photo is a good choice.....but for me.....I take a terrible picture.

Cheers

My new business cards are vertical and include the following details:

LOGO (which includes business name)

Top services (in a text box with background to match background of website

My name (larger and bolder than other text, same font as logo)

my personal blog
email address
Twitter ID
cell phone

Business name (same font and colours as in logo, larger than other text)
mailing address
office phone/fax

Website (same font and colours as in logo, larger than other text)

It sounds like a lot, but the way it's laid out, it's really not cluttered. I would attach a copy but the file is too big.

Default Re: Show me your business card
My business cards are currently being designed by a local company and they've shown me how the front side could look showing:

(1) my logo
(2) My name and "Owner"
(3) address
(4) phone number
(5) fax number
(6) website
(7) e-mail address

Anyone have a suggestion on what to put on the back, if anything?

Thinking of perhaps listing a few of my services on the back but not sure. Anyone else list their services on their business cards?

I think it's helpful to list some services on your card, so people will remember why they are holding on to it.

Just waiting for my logo to be finished (final format is expected tomorrow!). Thanks ladies for your advice about listing services on the back of your business cards. I will definately be doing that!
