Nearly every modern business utilizes business cards to promote themselves, yet they are often tossed in the trash by their recipients by the end of the week. While business cards continue as a staple in the business world (and it\u2019s nice to have one available when a client asks), businesses need to adapt their cards to fit ever-shifting trends and stand out amongst the competition. Otherwise, the expense and hassle of creating a business card is a total waste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What inspires a client to keep your card in their wallet rather than toss it when they get home? For one, your business card must be eye-catching. You can achieve this through fonts, brand-colors, phrases, imagery, or even the shape of the card itself. Of course, the most important goal of a business card is to convey useful information to the client, such as name, email, website, and professional social media pages. If you aren\u2019t sure where to begin in your business card design brainstorming session, take a look at the top seven on-trend business card designs of the future below to spark an idea or two.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Minimalistic<\/b><\/p>\n

A business should convey some information on their business card, but overstuffing and overwhelming a card can be overkill. A customer doesn\u2019t need to know details about specific products or services on a business card. They do need to know your website to find that information, however. Keep it short, sweet, and simple when it comes to how many lines of text you decide to include on your cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along with the amount of words on the card, minimalistic amounts of color, fonts, and images are also on-trend right now. A single-color background with just the business name or logo on the front can help a card look clean, fresh, and professional. You can play around with foiled lettering or different textures to make it unique and un-boring. The important business information can be listed on the back without cluttering up the simple and bold advertisement on the front.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Transparent<\/b><\/p>\n

Another interesting design idea that has been recently floating around is that of transparent business cards. A specific brand color or pattern can be applied to the transparent paper, but the uniqueness of the see-through design can help it stand out amongst competitors. Of course, transparent cards don\u2019t work with every type of business, especially since transparency conveys a certain message. For instance, a data privacy company may not want see-through associated with its name. However, it may fit the theme of a window company. The takeaway is that businesses are no longer limited to traditional cardstock for business card backgrounds, and they can experiment with different types of material.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Out-of-the-Rectangle<\/b><\/p>\n

Businesses are no longer limited to the traditional rectangle shape for business cards either. To stand out, some businesses are experimenting with different shapes and sizes for their business cards. Of course, business cards should still serve the practical purpose of storing until future need and easily fit inside a wallet or card carrier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interactive<\/b><\/p>\n

Depending on the type of business, interactive cards can be a fun way to hold the attention of a client or future client. Cards that fold into different objects or have hidden pull-and-slide messages are unique and fun for clients to fidget with when they are familiarizing themselves with your contact information. If anything, these types of cards will definitely be remembered for their distinctive designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Social<\/b><\/p>\n

Just like other types of marketing, business cards should display professional social media accounts as a way for customers to connect with a business. Even if they don\u2019t use the services or products right away, they may want to connect digitally before tossing a card. If a business spends a lot of time marketing and\/or selling on social media, this is essential information to include.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Humor<\/b>ous<\/b><\/p>\n

Humor is a universal language, and it can stand out and intrigue just as much as a color scheme, font, or design. Humor, puns, and sarcasm especially resonate with younger target audiences. Whether it\u2019s through clever imagery or a play on words, many businesses are now incorporating humor into their business card designs to help make a lasting impression with their clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Multi-Purpose<\/b><\/p>\n

A business card can serve two or more functions if you get creative. Instead of handing out multiple cards for different purposes to potential clients, why not just hand them one? If you offer 10% off to new clients, you can include this deal on the card. Or, if there\u2019s a page on your website specifically created for potential clients, you can put this URL on the card in place of the standard homepage. You can even turn a business card into a \u201cfrequent customer\u201d card and offer a free product or service for every 10 punches on the back. Businesses are consolidating some of this information onto one card that increases the chances that a customer will keep it longer than a day or a week.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
