Use bold colours, unusual design and plenty of imagination when putting together your business card to ensure it fulfills its potential as a marketing tool. Also make it Clean, simple with a big enough Font to catch any eye with a heavier stock.

Just like anything, Trends, they do turn around, we deal with the familiar as we become selective in our senses.
Keep the end in Mind, not looking for the easy way out, but rather looking and establishing great Values to sustain the growth, this is Why being specific and personal is Key!
