Business cards 'project an image'

Business cards can help your firm stand out from the crowd

It is important for professionals to remember that their business cards are often the first time a potential contact has heard of you and your firm - so it is essential they make a good impression.

ZDNet's DocuMentor blog pointed out that with so many business cards competing for attention, it is important to stand out from the crowd.

Many business cards are basic - some are even downright "dull", the blog suggested - so you may want to make an extra effort to create memorable ones.

One useful suggestion is to create business card designs in small batches so you have plenty of options to offer to your potential contacts.

Other standout business cards can have special features or functions - including a quick response, or QR, code could be a great way to introduce your contacts to the world of social media, for example.

However, it is important not to let creativity overshadow the functionality of business cards - traditional sizes and styles are still preferable, as they can easily slip inside a wallet or personal organiser.

Another great way to stand out - and subtly showcase your green credentials - is to opt for eco business cards printed on 100 per cent recycled paper.

Quality green business cards underscore your commitment to the environment and suggest an impression of integrity.
