Sometimes we forget the importance that still comes with carrying a business card or as sometimes referred a calling card. With the way technology has practically taken over our lives it’s easy to meet someone, hit it off and just plug their number into your phone.

But, what is personal about that? Nothing. You want to keep a memory of that person so that you are likely to contact them. Whether it is a social contact or business. Putting Jack Greene into your phone isn’t really doing anything. You’re unfortunately likely to forget until one day you’re scrolling through your contacts, can’t remember who that was and delete them.

Business cards do more than just give out information regarding your occupation and phone number. They often divulge a lot about your personality. Gone are the days when you have little choice as to their appearance. One thing technology has done for the business card, is make it endlessly customizable.

Most often a business card will include the following information: The person’s name, company they work for and or personal title, address of business, phone number (work or personal), email address, and or website. The important thing here is to tailor it to your personal needs. What a blogger needs to list may not be the same as an insurance salesman. Try to give all the information your new possible client, or friend will need. Nothing more, nothing less.

Traditionally business cards are sold in the approximate size of 3.5″ x 2″ and are cut into a rectangular shape. They are then printed in a landscape fashion. However, in recent years the customizing of shape and layout has advanced and people are purchasing cards printed longways otherwise known as portrait and even in perfect square shapes such as dimensions of 3″ x 3″.
