Internet and Communications Business Cards

For the folks who work in the Internet and communications business, a business card is a critical way to connect with potential customers and clients. Whether you are handing them out at an industry event or leaving some cards at the local coffee shop bulletin board – your business cards may be your first and only impression. So it’s critical you get your cards right. Here are a few tips to make sure your Internet and communications business cards drive customers towards you, not away.

Professional Design
Nothing says “amateur” like a mediocre business card. If you haven’t already, consider getting your Internet and communications business cards designed by a professional. While not absolutely necessary, a professional designer can make sure you don’t miss anything and will help you get the most out of your design.

Basic Contact
Use the front of your card for basic contact information only. Make sure you list your specialty, too. If you are a database administrator with 20 years of mainframe experience, make sure your card sufficiently defines your experience with a short tagline. Otherwise, keep your contact information limited to

• your company,
• name,
• title,
• tag-line,
• minimal contact information like a
• phone,
• email, and
• mailing address.

Avoid multiple phone lines and email address + website URL (unless you are using a Gmail or Yahoo! account, as an example.)

Backup Plan
If you need more information on your card, use the back of your Internet and communications business cards. You can fit approximately 100 words in 10pt font. You can go into details on the back of your card, leaving the front clear and clean for basics.
