Things You'll Need:
- Details to put on your business card including name and contact information
- Access to a print shop or printer, cardstock, and software (MS Word or Publisher)
- Small budget
-
Step 1
Design your business card yourself using MS Word or Publisher or through a website. You can use an online service like VistaPrint to create your layout, logo, and tagline, and the company will send you the business cards.
-
Step 2
Use the built-in business card creation wizard in Microsoft Publisher to set up your own business card. The business card wizard will lead you through creating a simple business card. Alternatively, you can use Microsoft Word to make and print business cards. See the resources section for more information.
-
Step 3
Another option is to print business cards online and have them shipped. A popular site is VistaPrint, where you can create your business cards online and receive them in a few days.
-
Step 4
Alternatively, you can go to a local print shop and bring a disk with your business card file. This way, you can see and feel the quality of your card stock and it eliminates the need for additional software. Choose a professional, quality business card stock. Confirm the price and timing of delivery before choosing a print shop.
-
Step 5
Contact local designers to design a unique business card if you do not want to print business cards using one of the above steps. Network with business contacts, friends, and family or put an ad on Craigslist to hire a freelancer.
