Business
cards are used for networking, advertising to get your message out there, and
for your making contact information available to prospects. A small business
owner should have a quality business card because it lets customers know that
you are ready to compete. You can make a business card on your computer or go
to a professional printer.
Create
a Business Logo
A
logo can be created using a graphics program or a clip art program. Choose a
logo that relates to your company. Save the image of the logo in a .jpg or .png
file.
Design
Card
Open
the tools menu and choose business cards. Look at the templates. Choose a
publication design that you like in the gallery. A Business card template appears. Click on
card. Click download. Type your business information into the personal
information page. This includes your
name, job or position, organization name, address, phone, fax, and email.
Import your company logo right in the design of the business card. Your logo
should be a design that expresses what your business is and helps you stand out
from the competition.
Save
the File
If
you are going to print the business cards yourself use the Print Preview
command to make sure that the cards look satisfactory. Print as many as you
need. If you are going to let a professional print the card save it on CD and
take it to a copy center.
