But that should be supported by a tagline or slogan to elaborate more on that kind of business you are.

As much as possible include only little but clear and concise message. It’s a good idea to use both sides of the card to present your message, but if using both sides will only make your card more confusing, then skip it.

You need to device a plan on how best to distribute your card. It can help to set a quota on the number of cards you have to distribute each day.
5. Pick colors carefully. Keep in mind that there are colors such as purple that don’t print as clearly as other colors. So, when choosing the color to use in your business card templates, be sure dark, solid colors.
