Business cards are not brochures

Lets talk about business cards.
Everyday I am out meeting new clients, and it never fails, I get handed a business card that has more information on it then my website.

THAT IS NOT WHAT A BUSINESS CARD IS FOR.

You have a business card to leave your contact information with someone. If you have too much information on your card, or the card is too busy, the EYE can not focus. Keep it simple.

Here is the content that I recommend for a business card.
Front:
• Logo
• Company Name
• Website URL

Back:
• Name
• Title (if you need one)
• Phone # and extension (if you use your cell phone, have the work phone # forwarded)
• Email
• Address (and if you don't have a lot of people stopping by or mailing things to you, then simplify your address City, State)
• Fax (this is other information that if you don't need, don't put it on the card)
