Tips for business cards for executives

All to often the executive business card is an afterthought. The last thing you do when you start a new job or get a promotion. Your business card is a networking tool, it tells who you are, so it needs to be memorable and thoroughly representative of who you are and what you do. Design In most business lines, executives will have single color print on a single color card. Be sure to respect how conservative your company is, but even so, you can create a card that's more memorable by adding more color. Simplicity is a concept to keep in mind. If you fill your card with every single aspect of your business, the key information will get lost in the chaos. Just provide your contact information and make sure your email address matches your company website for a professional look. Put your card to use Always bring at least 25 business cards in a nice card holder no matter where you go. You never know where you'll meet a potential client. Business card etiquette When you hand out a business card be sure to ask for their card in return. While it may seem like a small gesture, everyone wants to feel important. If you show interest in them, they are more likely to show interest in you.
