Hey guys,
my wife and I finally have our company logo in the mail (my sister designed it and is mailing it to us), we are brainstorming on designing some business cards. We will have a graphic designer throw it into illustrator or something like that (we have no idea how it works, but he tried to explain it and knows what he is doing). I am personally a minimalist when it comes to design and stuff like that, and was wondering if you guys could offer some insight to what we would NEED on the card.
I was thinking something as simple as our company name with a .com, and maybe below it what we do (Family-Wedding-Graduation) or something along those lines. We won't be shooting from a studio, and our site will have all the contact information that people would need. However, would not having an email or number on the card just be a waste of time since we may be missing out on some potential clients that might chuck the card if it doesn't have that info?
Also, I know at least a person or two around here use recycled paper for their business cards. I like the idea of it, though it does look like it will cost substantially more. Any specific company recommendations for recycled products? I found some on Vistaprint though it wasn't all that easy to find. Any recommendations on companies (recycled paper or not) would be great. Thanks.
