By completing this worksheet, you will begin to make important decisions about how you want your card to look. Think about the image you wish to convey about your company and who (audience) you will be giving your business cards to, to determine what colors/fonts/graphics would be appropriate for them.

2) Next you will want to seek feedback about your business card.

3) Once you have your plan in place, create your business cards based on your design. You can use the business card template file below or set up your own file in your word processor or paint program. Create one complete card that includes your logo, tagline, company name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number and fax number, as well as your name, title and contact information. Be sure to proofread your card and then cut and paste it 10 times into the template. Your cards are now ready to print!
