Printing your own business cards using free online templates can save both time and money.

Business cards should include all the information people will need contact you about your services. Traditionally this has been a name, address and phone number. You can include as much or as little information as you feel is necessary. For some people this might be just a name and phone number, for others it might include a fax number, cell number and a web site address.

Remember a business card is a mini-advertisement and should reflect your business. If you're a party planner, you might want your cards to reflect a festive mood with bright colors and logo of balloons and confetti or you might want to convey an elegant mood with a plain black and white color scheme and wine classes for a logo.

While you want the card to reflect what you represent, remember it still should be easy on the eyes. Neon colors and multi-colored, dimensional fonts might be what you feel best reflects you, but if people get eye strain when they look at the card they won't give it a second look and will likely pitch it in the trash.

Business cards aren't just for businesses. They can serve as an introduction for anyone or anything you want people to remember. This can include hobbies, causes or just you.
