What do you put on business cards?

On business cards, you should include your name and contact information, company tagline, and your position or title, and white space. Here are some details on elements you should put on your business card:

• Name and Contact Information

  You must include the street address, city, state, and ZIP code for you or your organization. You should also include your phone number and email address.

  You can also include links to your website or professional social media accounts. Just be sure not to overfill the business card with too much text.

• Company Tagline and Position or Title

  You want someone viewing your business card to be able to immediately identify what company you work for and what your job title is. You might include a company logo if it is sharp and aesthetically pleasing.

  If you are an independent contractor, freelancer, or small business owner, you should include what you do for work before listing your title. Owners of small businesses should also include the title of "owner" on their business cards.

• White Space

  White space is any area of the business card that does not include text. As mentioned, you do not want to overcrowd your business card with text.

  You should use white space to keep the design and readability of the business card optimal. You can also use white space to help you emphasize critical information that you want to stand out for readers.
