A professional looking business card to represent yourself and what you do is what you need if you’re a business professional. Many people that are in business for themselves and also people that work for other larger businesses need business cards. For a short introduction, your card can share a small to moderate amount of details about you. They need not be expensive or fancy to be effective.
A business card is said to be much like a traveling billboard. But you much have the right information to get people to stop and read it.

The importance of your business card cannot be stressed enough. It is going to be your possible customers’ first impression with you and your establishment and no matter what type of card you give them is going to give you only one of two things - good publicity or bad publicity. In show business, there is no definite distinction between the two, but when you're in business, it can mean the world. That difference can actually make or break entrepreneurs as if it were the most natural thing that could ever occur. Making good business cards is what you should do to make sure you get the good one and not the bad.
So what make good business cards? There can also only be two things:
Design and Layout.
By all means, your card should be neat and professionally designed with your contact information laid out in an organized manner. Put all your contact details if you want them on the bottom part of the card for instance. Never put your address under or your phone number on top of your name, and your email at the bottom. People appreciate organized businessmen and a simple business card can leave many signs.
Creativity-based professionals such as graphics artists and web designers should showcase their artistry in their design but shouldn't overdo it either. For those who offer non-creative products or services, a subdued design is often well-received.
Another vital consideration in a business card layout is the way the business logo is presented. It should not take the subordinate position even to someone’s name and should always be the most important part of any card. After all, it is the business that a client should be interested in and not necessarily the one who represents it. The reliability of the one who give the card is still of great meaning.
Function
Function is another important ingredient of a good business card. Cards used to have the holder's name, contact details and his position but now, you can always put in a suitable amount of other details that could be useful for the business.
Your business cards can be printed on both sides for instance. One side may be for your name, your business name and your contact information while the other side may contain details about your products or services, how you aim to provide something more than what your competitors can offer, and the reasons why they should choose you instead of them.
Of course, you will have to find a way to condense all that information together to make it fit a normal-sized card. You don't really have to put in complete sentences - just clearly stated details in bullets will go a long way.
