How to design Pressure Washing Business Cards Template in 10 easy steps

 

 

1. Find a template that reflects your brand's personality.

​

Your business card says a lot about you and your business...so, choose a design that reflects your brand. Maybe you're a maid who specializes in wealthy homes - reflect that with a template that's clean and luxurious. Or, perhaps you're a commercial cleaning company - reflect the spirit of your business with a colorful, professional card.

​

2. Find the right font for your Pressure Washing Business Cards Template.

​

If there's a font you've been using on your website or other marketing materials, bring that into your business card. The font you choose should represent your brand. All of your text should be at least 8 pts., but more important information (like your name or business name) can be printed in larger size, a different typeface, or in bold.

​

3. Choose a size and shape.

​

The size and orientation of your business card affects text size and the amount of information you can include...and also makes a statement about your brand. Are you a conventional, no-frills enterprise or a bold non-conformist? Most business cards are rectangular, about the size of a credit card, and laid out horizontally. People are familiar with this format, so it's a safe choice...but if you want to stand out, consider using a square shape, rounded corners, or vertical orientation.

​

4. Organize your information.

​

Your business card should give customers everything they need to contact you, find you online, or locate your storefront. Aside from your name and job title, add your business name, telephone number, website, email address, and social media handles. Make sure you include all of this information on your business card so customers can easily contact you the way they feel most comfortable.

​

5. Use both sides.

​

Make your business card work twice as hard for you and your business. Use the reverse side for appointment reminders, loyalty stamps, or as a blank canvas to showcase something about your business. ​The options for repurposing your business card are endless...and can ensure your card gets further, lasts longer, and makes a stronger impression.

​

6. Maximize your logo.

​

Before you think of creating new business cards, there are two crucial design components to consider: your finalized logo and your brand colors. These elements are the most important parts of your visual branding, and will help influence other areas of the card design process. A business card is all about the logo - consider dedicating one side of your card solely to your logo. As a visual representation of your business, it deserves a prominent place that will instantly catch the eye of potential clients.

​

7. Leave some white space.

​

Don't clutter your card with too many words - if there are too many elements on the card, they'll all compete for the reader's attention and nothing will stand out. Leaving a little room gives you space to jot down your new phone extension or give potential customers the name of a colleague.

 

8. Stand out from the competition.

​

One easy way to make your card stand out is to add an unusual design element or special print treatment. Foil accents add a touch of sophisticated shine, while embossed gloss creates a raised, glossy coating, giving your cards a hard-to-forget 3D feel. Paper stock is another way to add something special to your business card. Extra-thick paper adds an instantly luxurious touch, while recycled kraft paper lends an organic feel. Make sure these special features are appropriate for your branding - if you're in a less glamorous line of work, it might feel odd to add a shimmery foil accent to your business card.

​

9. Include a call to action.​

​

A call to action isn't a business card requirement, but it can encourage potential clients to take that next step. Whether it's a special offer, a useful tip, or a discount code, create an incentive around your business to energize customers. Consider using a QR code as part of your call to action. As people are increasingly comfortable with scanning QR codes, adding one to your business card is a great one-click way to send people to your website, subscribe them to your mailing list, or give them a special promotion. 

​

10. Check for any spelling errors.​

​

Before you place your order, ask a colleague or friend to double-check your business cards for spelling errors. If you want to be sure that your card is perfectly proofed, enlist the help of a copyediting professional. Since there is such a small amount of text on a business card, it should be a relatively quick, low-cost task.
