I'm not a fan of strangely shaped cards. They're great for impact, but hard to store along with regular cards. I hear more and more people saying they have more than one business card for different purposes. I'm pleased I've discovered your blog Steve. Hi Steve

@ Martin – The international phone numbers is a good reminder.

@ Anita – I agree that we seem to need to fit more and more on our business cards.

I’m not a fan of strangely shaped cards. They’re great for impact, but hard to store along with regular cards.

I hear more and more people saying they have more than one business card for different purposes.

I’m pleased I’ve discovered your blog Steve.

There's just more stuff to put on cards these days, between email, mobile phone, Skype and the like.</p> Martin, with all the new ways of communicating, you bring up a great point.

Like my mobile number: +46 76 578 50 71. (If you are in Sweden you add a "0" to the number and take away the international code "46".) I often see American business card missing this. I have several different cards for different occasions. I have a personal one with my own domain on one side of the card with a typewriter / dymo label font and a slogan "Trader in Matter & Spirit" and three lines with my interests and activities: Blogging, Social Media Network Marketing Supply Chain Management The format is small called minicards by Moo. Check them out: http://www.moo.com/ I have one for my blogging stating my name, title "PJ Network Blogger", the blog name EGO, Skype phone number, mobile number (now an old number that I have to change for the next batch), email address and URL. The color is light blue and it the font is typewriter style. Check out John Look identity store. http://www.johnlook.com I also have a standard business cards for my MLM business. It is made by the network marketing company Flavon Group in Hungary. Add the international phone code to the number. Like my mobile number: +46 76 578 50 71. (If you are in Sweden you add a “0″ to the number and take away the international code “46″.) I often see American business card missing this.

With some, you need a magnifying glass to even read it. Name, phone number and website should be first priority and large enough to read easily. Tiny print is always annoying.

I hate really boring cards. I think something visual, anything visual, helps to create an image of your brand or what you or your company is about. Nothing overdone, just a nice little interesting touch speaks volumns. She did a good job of covering most of them. I hate really boring cards.
