How effective are business cards?

Nowadays, there are a lot of discussions about the effectiveness of classic marketing strategies, comparing it with the reach of your company can have through social media. Yes, the virtual space is taking more and more spotlight because of the tools that offer in getting the attention of your target audience, but we still live in the real world where we need to communicate in old-fashion ways and where we can have tangible items that allow us to share information.

One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is whether business card are still an important material to consider developing a business strategy or not.

Picture this: You are in an exhibition, promoting your service or product. You decided to not print business cards. Instead, you’ve created a digital card. Potential client number one approaches. You speak about your company, the advantages of your product, your unique value proposition. Your client shows very interest in you and asks for a business card. And so client number two, and number ten…

In the business community, cards are still a must because:

• It is your first and preferred contact method. Believe it or not, a client could consider establishing a business relationship from a card.
• You can go further, and besides your contact information, look for a creative way of show your UPV in the cards. They could be an extension of your brand.
• Aside from creativity in the design of your cards, high-quality printing and materials could affect the perception that customers have about your brand. In fact, only by having them always gives a sense of good preparation and professionalism.

What colors and finishings can I have for my business cards?

We usually use white paper for business cards, because it makes colors to pop. For printing, the color options could be infinite. You can design your cards without limitation, but you have to be sure to align your idea with your brand identity. Remember, yet, that with digital printing we can not work with Pantones or spot inks (gold, silver, fluorescent colors).

For the finishings, in our online printing services, you can find the ones listed below:

• Matt or gloss laminate. This is a thin transparent plastic sheet or coating that provides protection against heavy use.
• Rounded corners. You can add a distinctive touch to your business cards by asking for the die-cut of the corners–or one of them-.

Please, let us know if you need a finishing different to the ones available in our online printing services.

How do I create a custom business card? What information do I have to add?

Take note, when creating your business cards, that:

• Style and format you wish (remember to review the options available on the market)
• The data you want to show. Besides the name and company logo, write your personal info, like name, position, phone numbers and e-mail. We recommend displaying texts on one side of the cards and visual elements on the other side. Some also include social media info and QR codes. Is important to differentiate the information that brings value from the one that generates noise.
• Your brand identity. The color palette, the fonts, etc.
• The money you have in mind to invest in the printing.

Professionals should make the designing of the cards and it is imperative to use specialized tools, like Photoshop or InDesign. Even when they appear easy to create, cards shouldn’t be made with any software or app. Not only because of visual or aesthetic aspects of it but also because of technical specs. Original design, high-quality materials and printing could give your business cards a distinctive element that helps you to be on top of your customers mind.
