“Hello, nice to meet you — and here is my card…” We have nearly all said this and proffered said card hundreds of times. No matter your occupation, a business card can be a huge plus. So it is worth spending some time and money on, even paying a professional to do it if you are not yourself a designer. A good business card should contain all the relevant information about you in a business context: name, working title and company, contact details. The aim is to make sure that the receiver can get in touch with you when they need to. There is a standard size for these pieces of cardboard (90 x 54mm) and it is best to stick to it so that it fits neatly into your card-holder (oversized cards usually end up in the waste-paper basket).
