Branding tips for your business card

Have you given much thought to your business cards? Sure you've thought about the layout, the logo, the information to be included, but how about thinking of them as an extension of your brand? If the answer is no, check out this article on how to make those cards work for you.

An example:

Coke Does It. Nike Does It. Why Don’t  You?
             
Everyone knows a picture says more than a thousand words, yet they fail to apply it in real life. Visual branding is extremely important. Look at McDonalds--

Their double arc is everywhere, and you know at one glance where to find your next burger. Use the same concept for your business card and spend time and money to develop a strong visual branding image. It pays off in the long run.

awesome info shannon! thank you so much...

In addition to my logo, I also include a picture of one of my best pieces of jewelry on my business cards. I find that people tend to keep them a bit longer because they want to show other people what my jewelry looks like. Just something I find useful.

whoops -- meant my comment for your last post on credit cards -- i am totally out of the blogging loop lately...
