Choosing Microsoft Publisher Business Card Templates

By Jeannie Chapman


People can often be nervous when using Microsoft Publisher Business Card templates. However there are a wide array of design options available created to suit a number of different products and services. With a smart approach it is possible to find one that is ideally suited to your needs.

Making your own card is simple. First of all you need to open the program and select the New Publication task pane. You then click on the section marked Publications for Print and you should find a specific section for business cards. Click on that and you can get started immediately.

Whatever design you choose you have to consider the relevant information needed. Contact details are essential as this is how people will find your company! While in the past this would have focused mainly on postal addresses and phone numbers increasingly more businesses use social media and promote via a variety of platforms so you may wish to include these details as well.

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!

You also need to think about whether you want a portrait or landscape orientation. A lot of companies use landscape orientation as people tend to put their cards in either wallets or lanyards. Remember to print preview so you can be sure that all the information is included in the final print and that you do not waste money printing incorrect information or miss details off the bottom of the page.

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.

If you are using Microsoft Publisher Business Card templates for the first time then it is best to look for online tutorials. A visual demonstration can often make it easier to create a design. You should also consider whether or not you intend to use a professional printer. A professional printer is best if you want to print off a lot of them. Look online for more information and to get feedback from other users to get the best results from your design.
