Using Microsoft Publisher Business Card Templates

By Jeannie Chapman


Setting up your own business can mean you have a lot of costs. You may not necessarily have the budget to find a graphic designer to create a fancy business card for you. However with a bit of ingenuity it is possible to use Microsoft Publisher Business Card templates.

As the name suggests everything is laid out as you need it. All you need to do is add the details that are applicable to you. The kind of template you use will depend on the product or service that you are offering your potential clients and how you intend to promote yourself to them.

The first thing to decide is whether or not you want a single or double sided design. A single sided design is good if you want to reduce costs as you do not have additional print on the back. It can also be useful if you need to write something down for a potential client or networking contact.

Another thing to consider is whether or not you want a single or double sided design. A single design is best if you want to reduce the amount of printing costs involved. This is especially the case if you want to start with a small amount of cards and not use a professional printer. If you do choose to use a professional printer remember to ask them about the quality of image they want. High resolution images are best because they will not look fuzzy when you print them.

A single sided design works best for people who only have a few contact details and a basic summary of your business. However a double sided design is best for adding more information such as special offers or if you want to encourage people to visit your website. The back is also a good place to put on a map, ideal if you are a new company and you want people to be able to find you!

Whatever design you choose there are certain basics that need to be on there. Contact information is crucial so that people know how to contact you. Remember to double check this before you print your cards to avoid the embarrassment of having to get your pen out and correcting them.

The template you choose depends on your type of business. A more colourful one is generally suited to companies aimed at families whereas a simpler one with a logo is probably better suited to finance or media companies. If you are not sure it is best to talk to someone you trust to give you honest feedback.

As well as the Microsoft Publisher Business Card templates included with the program there are various websites that provide templates online. It is worth looking at these to see what one is best suited to your business as well as looking for tutorials and feedback to help you make the best design for your company!
