10 FUNDAMENTAL PRACTICES OF BUSINESS CARD DESIGN
Well-designed business cards are very important when you want to achieve the most in marketing your brand. There are some fundamental practices that the design process of a business card has to follow in order to produce a quality product. These fundamental practices include:
The Use Of Good Card Stock
If you want your potential clients to have the best interaction with your cards, it is important to choose the best possible card stock available. There are very many varieties of cards in the market. Do not be quick to settle on the standard types.
Many major printers offer free samples of the papers in stock. Consider going through these before settling on a final choice.
Consider The Font Type And Size
Many business cards are limited in space because of their small size. This means you have to be careful when deciding on the font type. Some fonts are not suitable in small size and may not print very well. Rush Hour Printing and Graphics understands this fact too well and we will ensure that we use the right font for your business card.
Font Weight
This is very important because not all fonts appear well in fine print. It is therefore advisable to test print your font weights first and see how well they come out before making an official order.
Simplicity
Your business card should be able to communicate effectively without overwhelming the recipient with outrageous design and cluttered messaging. Be careful when deciding on the content and design elements of your business cards. Maintain simple and concise messaging that does not clutter the card and tasteful design elements.
Understand Your End User
Each industry has its own practices when it comes to communicating with the end client. An architect’s business card will be very different in design aspects compared to, say, a businessman’s card. Use the appropriate design aspects suitable to best communicate with your target market about your brand.
Content Placement
Decide on the order of importance of every piece of information to be contained in the card. By grouping them by order of importance, you will ensure your card communicates and places importance on exactly what you want it to.
Test Print The Cards
Test printing allows you to have a rough idea of what the final product will look like. It also allows you to tweak the different design element to better suit how you want the end product to be.
Be Consistent
It is important that your target market be able to easily identify your business card with your overall brand. This means that your card should portray not only the same logo as your brand but also similar typography and color scheme. Rush Hour Printing and Graphics has a lot of experience producing business cards, we will ensure that all your cards are consistent.
Quality
A business card is a representation of what your brand is and what it is able to do. A low-quality card will still be memorable, but not in a positive way. A low-quality card does not inspire confidence in your brand as a whole. Quality is therefore paramount when you want to be taken seriously by your target audience.
Creativity
Just because the intent of the business card is to provide your contact details, this doesn't mean it has to be lacking in the creativity department. A creatively and tastefully designed business card is guaranteed to make you stand out.

Business Marketing with Postcards! By Rush Hour Printing and Graphics

This week, we will be discussing: why Postcards work! We continue to advocate for direct mail marketing using postcards as the tool of preference. Direct mail marketing with postcards can be done physically or with the post office’s help. A connection is made easily with customers as they play their postcards on the fridge, in their car, or even in their purses/wallets. Each time they see the postcard, it is a reminder that they do have help and that they can count on your company to meet their needs. It sorts of sparks a reminder in the brain  that your company is reachable, easily accessible and that sells@!!  Marketing with postcards begins the moment they touch that card. Adding a simple but penetrating promotional message right in front of the card allows a company to track analytics of that campaign and secure a sell! This information is always helpful for future campaigns.  Next week, we will be discussing: what a postcard should say, how to use them,...
