Be clear as to what you intend to include in your layout. If you’re having a hard time choosing what and what not to include, just remember that your business card is sort of a miniature resume of you and your business. You therefore have to include all the necessary details to give your target recipients the means to contact you – your phone and mobile number, fax number, email address, physical address, website URL, and even your Skype address if you have one. Don’t forget to keep everything clear and simple; don’t overwhelm your recipients with too many details that they get confused in the process.
