Tips & Warnings

• Details for a sports business card could consist of your name, title, address, phone and fax number, email address and website. If it is for a specific school, you may want to include that information also. Use free online resources if you do not have any pictures, clipart or graphics for your sports business card. Or you can use a school or team logo for the graphic. Select no more than three colors for your sports business card. It will appear more professional. If your team or school has colors, use those colors for your card. Another idea is to use black ink on colored paper.

• Do not include too many details that will make the design of the sports business card cluttered. Try various designs with different details on it.
