The fun thing about designing a daycare business card is that you can use bright colors, creativity and exude fun.

Colors can be primary and suggest a child’s hand in the palette or simply bright and cheery. Red, orange, yellow, sky blue, grass green and purple all work well. Avoid a plain black and white card as it may send the wrong connotations. An overly serious day care business card may suggest a boring un-stimulating atmosphere to potential clients.

Choose images that compliment the background color as well as the theme of the individual daycare. If craft time is a favorite, handprints make for a cute reminder of scheduled activities.

Fonts should be inviting and friendly, bold and clear. Comic sans is the best font for daycare business cards. It’s slightly childlike but friendly and fun.

Begin by determining what makes your hotel special. Is it the most comfortable beds in town?  Is it the additional amenities such as a pool, spa or golf course? Is it fine dining? Customer service? What is the key focus of you hotel or the thing you are praised for the most? This should be the focus of your business card, whether in color choice, font choice, graphics and visuals or printed information. Find your hotelier niche and brand it on your calling card.

Besides the usual location information and contact numbers and websites, a hotel business card should include directions. Whether there is room on the front of the card (exit 6 off Highway 99) or the instructions are complex and belong on the back of the card, they shouldn’t be left off. If a customer is choosing between two hotels for the night and one offers directions and the other doesn’t?

Like any card, details are what sells a business and a business card remains the best form of advertising available. List contact details, including a 24 hour phone line for emergency calls.

Visual references are great for trade services and offer the business owner a chance to express creativity and make an eye catching statement. Customize a personal logo, download relevant clip art or upload a photograph of the business, the work van or even the line of furnaces or air conditioners on offer.

Background colors should give text punch and clarity and reflect the mood of the business.  Ideas include the grey of the furnace unit or the blue of a cool summer day. Be sure to choose a color that contrasts with the color of the text.

The double sided business card lends itself well to the heating and cooling expert. One side could contain details of the cooling business and the other side details on heating services offered. Solidify the visual contrast with a sun on the cooling side and a snowflake on the heating side.

Alternately, consider getting two separate sets of cards and hand out the relevant information during the related season. This can make for a cute gimmick; especially of you hand out both cards simultaneously. Two sets of cards, one for heating and one for cooling, shows accessibility and flexibility to potential customers.

Heating and cooling is a business with numerous facets and numerous opportunities for interesting business card designs. Be sure to get a set of card for each employee to ensure the best coverage of your service area.

There are a number of different types of book seller and the card should reflect the specialty or genre of focus. For instance, a comic book retailer would have a very different design than an antiquarian or rare book dealer. Choose a background design that provides the most focused visual for your particular book selling audience.

Color should also be appropriate to the book selling niche and convey the essence of the genre rather than the literal color of the dust jackets. Think browns and creams for rare books, natural colors for green living books, primary colors for comic books, pastels for small children’s books, purples, blues, greens and reds for older children, pink for intimate, yellows and greens for gardening or outdoors etc. The best way to decide which colors to use would be to think of your particular genre and see what color associations immediately come to mind.

Font and type style reflect both the genre and the overall image of the bookseller. Serious and sophisticated should opt for heavy engraved fonts in traditional styles. Fun but enthusiastic bookstores should opt for rounded edges, slanted fonts or creative type setting. The size and color of the letters should make the information easy to read against any background design. Choose the color that “pops” the best not the color you like the best.

Books of course should appear on the business card. This sounds obvious but oftentimes is the missing piece in the virtual selling world: the visual reminder of goods. Choose appropriate clip art or make your own.

Remember, with online selling it’s about clear direct short communication. Emphasize the online presence through websites and coupon codes but don’t forget the books. They are the most important thing to the customer and the seller after all.
