Card size. In most cases, it's best if you stick with the standard card size, which is 3.5 inches by 2 inches. This is to ensure that people get to keep your card in their card holder. Otherwise, they will simply toss away your card.

As long as the colors you use fit your message, you can be sure that your message will be delivered quickly and easily.
The ink used. It is important that you pay attention to the ink you will use in printing your cards. try dropping water in a printer material and if the ink runs, you better start looking for another ink.
Message. This will basically be what your target customers will look for in your cards. It is important that you create a message that is compelling, attractive, and interesting.
