Business Card Tips

Never Leave Home Without 'Em

Always carry a supply of business cards. You never know when you're going to run into a prospective customer. And keep them handy in a ready pocket, so you can present one on demand. Keep a backup stack in the car glove compartment.

You never get a second chance for that first impression

Business cards are very important, and they do have an effect on someone's first impression of you when networking. Therefore, choose a business card to match the impression you're trying to make.

Market yourself, not your business card provider.

Other business card websites advertise free business cards, then print their name on the back of YOUR business card. MagicPrints.com does NOT print our name on the back of your business card. We believe the purpose of your business card is to market you, not us.

Buy a new supply of business cards when ANYTHING changes

Spend the money for new cards rather than writing in corrections. Presenting your business card with hand written corrections does not convey professionalism.

Make sure to include your website address

If you've got a website, make sure to include it on your business card. It's amazing how many people miss the chance to drive people to their website by leaving it off their business card.

Don't Design and Print Your Own

For what you spend on materials and the time to design and print a professional looking business card, you'll be further ahead if you let MagicPrints.com do the work for you.

Don't hide what you do

Your business card will get passed around to people that may not be familiar with what you do. If your company name doesn't convey what you do, be sure to include a tag line that does.

Keep it Simple

Don't overcrowd your business card. Too much information on your business card can dilute or obscure your message. Pare it down to the truly essential information

Proof it

Your business card provider isn't responsible for catching typos, mistakes and omissions, you are. Proof read carefully. Typos are a frequent occurance on the web. In fact, hundreds of people reach us every month by entering buisness cards, bussiness cards, busines card etc. in the major search engines.

DISTRIBUTE THEM!

Take every opportunity to distribute your business card. A business card sitting in your desk isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
