When I first created my color business cards,
people thought I was an investment banker (I am not of course, I
specialize in marketing). What happened was, people caught the wrong
impression of me because of the style of my business card. Back
then, I used some professional templates in printing them. Thus, my
theme was very corporate, formal, and for some people it looked like I
was not creative and too business-like just like some bankers are.
If you are having problems like this in business card printing, you
are not alone. Many people can sometimes make the mistake and give off
the wrong impression. This of course is caused by the wrong kind of
design theme.
Now, in this article, I will teach you what I
have learned in printing throughout all these years. Read the list
below and you should be able to give that correct impression using your
cards, to get the proper business contacts that you need.
•
Pick the right information to display – One of the initial things you
can do to make sure that you are giving of the right impression is to
pick the right information to display. Besides the standard name and
contact information, your other details such as credentials, images,
logos should be the right one that represents your personality and
profession.
Stick with the information that people will
need, to know you as a professional, and do away with irrelevant details
that are not related to your industry. With all the correct
information, you should give off precisely the right impression about
you.
• Use the appropriate design theme – Besides
information, the design is of course a big factor in getting that right
impression. As I said above, people thought I was an investment banker
because my design was too corporate and formal, unlike the ones most
marketing professionals use.
By using the correct design
theme for your industry or your profession, you will of course be able
to project the right kind of personal and professional image. So make
sure that you choose your templates and design guides carefully. If
possible, you should have a layout artist create the design you prefer
that would be uniquely yours. With that correct design theme, you would
have no problems with delivering the right impression.
Good!
Hopefully this information has helped you on how to deal with printing
your cards to get the right impression across to readers. By thinking
about your content and your design theme carefully, it should be easy to
communicate the right thoughts and information that will result in the
correct and favourable impression of you on readers.
