Business Cards
Create a Business Card that Works for You!
The primary purpose of a business card is to help people remember who you are and how they can find you when they want you, so give careful thought to the content you put on your card. Unless you are using a post office box address for your homebased business, think twice before including your home address on the card. Either that, or be selective in handing them out.
This is particularly important if you are doing an art or craft that would be enticing to thieves. For example, jewelers who work in gold or silver wouldn’t ever put their address on a business card because that could set them up for a possible robbery. You also need to be extra careful about letting people know where you live if you are a single mom or a widow, or if you know you are in violation of local zoning laws. These days, the content on a business card can often be limited to your business name, business telephone number, email address, and your Website URL, if you have one.
NOTE: It is likely to be a violation of local telephone company regulations to put your home phone number on a business card. Each state has a separate commission that determines the usage of a residential phone, so you need to call your local telephone company for more information.
Business cards and labels (as well as rubber stamps and Designer Post-It Notes) are very easy to design and order on the Web using templates and stock illustrations offered by printing companies. Standard business cards are very inexpensive and will pay for themselves many times over if you regularly sell at craft fairs and want to attract people to your Website or other places on the Web where you may be selling.
