How to Create an Ebusiness Card
Business cards are an excellent and inexpensive way to get the word out about your business. A typical business card is about 2 to 4 inches wide with ample space for you to add your business name, contact, email address, small graphics and even some space to write notes, phone numbers and appointment reminders. If you are looking to design a business card yourself, you will be glad to know that the steps involved are very simple. You can also save considerable amount of money and add/remove information to save on the graphic design company charges.
