Ways towards an appealing creative business cards

1 Your details - Name/Designation- Their is absolutely no point is mentioning your name and designation in the font size which is barely readable. Many people disguise these details and keep them at some remote corner that they are seldom visible at the first look, there should not be any searching for the name details. Many big companies here in India, keep blank marketing or company cards without individual name, but in our opinion it is always advisable to write the employee name and designation, so that there is clear point of contact.

2. Name of the company/message - It works in same way as point 1, same or more emphasis should be given on company name and message as compared to employee name and designation. Many people think that company name should not be text in instead logo with tag line should suffice, But we are of opinion unless your brand logo captures your name like 'Airtel', 'Reliance', it is always prudent to write the company name beneath the logo or make it visible in some other creative way.

3. E-mail address - If you are not married to yahoo, gmail, rediffmail email service provider, advice is to use professional company domain name email address like:- ajit@yourcompanyname.com, it is also good practice to involve a company general email address along with employee email address.
