A Creative Approach to Business Cards

by Nicko Margolies

Over the summer ISO50 linked a gallery of 70 business cards that are in a creative league of their own.  The business card is a time tested strategy to market oneself and many of those in the gallery exhibit unique characteristics that fit each business they represent.  These include a divorce lawyer with half a card, an asthma centers written on a balloon, a second hand store with the first contact info scratched out and plethora of simply laid out graphic designer cards.  The photos were all taken from a Flickr pool where people posted the coolest cards they’ve found, so if you have a particularly innovative business card, throw it in the bunch.  Your odds of landing a client may be better than winning a free lunch at your local restaurant.

    Business cards are cards bearing business information about a company or individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver’s name, company affiliation (usually with a logo) and contact information such as street addresses, telephone number(s), fax number, e-mail addresses and website.
