Business cards

If you are employed, you may have a business card.  If you are unemployed, this card might be called a networking card or calling card.

If you would like to design and print cards, please let us know, we can help you with that task.

Things to remember:

• Provide enough information so you can be found, usually a phone number and email address are enough
• Make your card visually appealing
• Do not get carried away with fonts and colors
• Use the back to post a mini-resume ... your skill sets or jobs you are seeking

This blog post has a few other ideas and points of view: http://www.jimteasley.com/2013/05/appreciation-marketing-business-cards.html#comment-form
