How do I design a metal business card that people will keep?

Business cards have been around for a while, and there are no doubts that they serve a great purpose when it comes to promoting your business and making people remember your brand. Whether it is that you’re handing one to an already existing customer, or you’re simply giving them all away to unknown people to make them a potential customer, it doesn’t matter. As long as your design is good, people will gain a sense of quality and professionalism, potentially using your service or spreading the word for it to their friends and family.

There are many different types of business cards out there, and, indeed, we’re pretty much oversaturated with them to some degree. If our design is not unique and creative, chances are that people will not find our brand as appealing as they would if they got impressed by the design of our business card. This means that when it comes to designing one, you should pay a lot of attention to detail, make sure you’re as creative as possible and have a professional to carry out a flawless manufacturing process. Let’s take a look at some things that make your business card appealing to others.

An interesting and unique design

We mentioned this already, but it is so important that we have to do it all over again. Having a uniquely designed metal business card is something that many people will find interesting to keep around in their wallet or on their keychains, and that’s exactly what you should be aiming for. If it’s just a dull and boring design, nobody will like to carry that with them, so it will probably end up in a drawer. A few examples would be to make your business card as closely themed to your business as possible. If you’re someone who works with keys and locks, why not make a business card in the form of a key? It will look great on any keychain and a lot of people will find it intriguing. There are no limits to your creativity.

A high-quality material

We’re still talking about a metal business card here, so if you’re advertising it at something like that, people will expect the material to be of polished and high-quality metal that will not bend in the first few days after putting it in their wallet or on their keychain. Make sure that you pay a lot of attention to the material that you’re making your card of. Some metals are quite smelly and they tend to make your hands get that “metallic smell” after you touch them, so avoid making your business card out of something like this, simply because you will be handing them over to people and nobody likes to have their hands smelling like metal.

Compact and easy to carry

Some designs will require a larger frame, while others can be made in a much smaller one. It is completely up to you to what you’ll choose, but make sure that your business card is not too big for anyone’s wallet or a keychain. Compact and well-designed are the keys to success.
