To make a memorable and professional impression on potential clients is one of the best methods to gain future business. The business card is the best way to make that first impression. For the card to be a success, it must contain the right information, but it also must be memorable, easy to read, and pleasing to the eye.

The new business owner is often at a loss as to what is the best design for the business card. How can someone create a business card that visually grabs the attention of the prospective clients? There are many factors to consider when completing a professional design for the business card.

__Design the card so that the name of the company is easy to see. __

The name of a company in the card design should stand out. There are two ways to accomplish this. One is to use a special font for the company name. This does not have to be complicated. The name of the company should have a simple, visually appealing font that is bold and easy to read. Some of the common fonts that are used in designs are script type and italics.

There are also some unique designs like that of the lettering on the newest Starbucks cards. The customer writes the information on this card and then passes it along to another coffee drinker. One coffee drinker hands the card to the next to get a free cup of coffee.

The other way is to make the company name stand out is to use the company logo on the card.

Some people prefer to do both. While the company name should be easy to read, it should not be slammed at the top of the card. The larger the title, the more important it is to use a different type of font. The company name should also be centered, and then there should be some space between the edge of the card and the title. The title should be large enough so that it is easy to see, but small enough not to overpower the card.

When designing the text, use the information that is needed on a card. This information should be put in a useful order. The company name should be the largest text.

There are many examples of business cards that have only the company name on the card. These cards can work if the company name is easily seen and understood. After the company name, put contact information. This includes the address and phone number of the business, but also the e-mail address and web site address. The phone number should be in big bold letters, but the other info should be normally sized. The address and contact information must be clear and easy to find.
