Have you been thinking that your business cards need to be updated?
Well, if you are reading this article then the answer is definitely yes.
Maybe you are not happy with the current design of your cards or the contact information has not been updated, or it has not matched your expectations. There can be many different reasons why your business card needs to be reviewed.
We have derived 12 signs why you need to revise your business cards for 2019.
1. Are you too embarrassed to hand out your business card?
Maybe the designs are not impressive or it looks cheap or your cards lack professionalism. These are all signals to modify your business cards.
2. You’re failing to differentiate yourself
You are handing out cards to make a contact so that the receiver will utilise your services in the future.
Your business cards play a significant role to make a difference and create an impression.
3. Are your looks the same as on your business card’s image
Have you just adopted a new hairstyle? Or colored your hair from brown to blonde? It’s a sure sign to change.
4. It no longer represents your brand
The name, logo, or color of your brand might have changed and this situation requires an immediate update.
5. Personal details have changed
Have you changed your phone number or did your office change its location recently? Again this needs attention for action to replace existing cards.
6. There’s no tagline about you
Having a tagline which is short, simple and unique and gives out a clear message can be very effective. It gives the receiver of your card an instant hint of what you do and if the tagline is strong will be impressionable for a longer period of time.
7. The existing card has poor printing quality
Take a look on your business card, is the print clear and good quality?
Either way, if you feel the quality is not good then it’s definitely time to renew.
8. You haven’t updated for a long time
Has it been awhile since your last updated your business card? If the responses have not been good it’s an opportunity to try out something new and different.
9. Mundane layout
Does your business card look dull and boring?
Remember the goal of your card is to make an impression so it’s easy for the recipient to recall when it relates to your product or services.
10. Your current card has too much information
Does your card contain too much information besides your name, number, address, designation and company name?
Try to limit the information on your business card.
11. Your business has been rebranded
The rebranding of your business has a domino effect regarding the logo, fonts and other designs which all need to be modified and updated.
Keep your business card in sync with your current brand elements
12. Are your recipients responding to your card?
If you are handing out your business cards frequently at events and networking programs and not receiving a response, then it is a sure sign to change so it does make an impact.
