1. Placement of your contact information should be on the bottom right corner. When a car is read the way your eyes are trained, your contact information should be the last thing people read and remember.
2. Use a border. Placing a 3mm border around the entire business card helps the reader’s eyes to focus on the information.
3. Did you forget contact details on your card? Some people do. Your phone number, email address, website and business address are all contact options you can use.
4. Font size is important. Typing should not be smaller than a 8pt font, however, if your card has items like the ABN or QBSA number on it then these can be in a 6pt font. You never want to use more than two sizes of fonts on your business cards.
5. Make sure that your card isn’t confusing. You want to double check that it is not displaying mixed messages.
6. When someone give you their card it is proper business card etiquette to look at it and say their name. Reading and speaking it shows interest and it will help you remember it.
7. When someone gives you their card, place it in your front pocket or a carrier. Putting it in your back pocket is disrespectful.
