  • Put as much information on your card as possible but always leave room for the recipient to make notes on the card. Encourage note-taking by including a place on the card marked "notes." See What information should go on a business card? to make sure you don't leave off vital details.

  • If all your needed information won't fit comfortably (and legibly) on the front, use the back of the card. Also consider a bi-fold or tri-fold brochure card. Make it a double-duty business card.

  • Including a lot of information doesn't necessarily mean having to use a lot of words. If your business name is clear and informative then taglines or other explanation may not be necessary.

  • Use short bullet point type phrases instead of long sentences.

  • If everything you want to put on the card won't fit comfortably and attractively, edit the text don't just shrink the font size.
