What Information Should Be Included on a Business Card?

Business cards should include your full name, job title, company name, phone number, email address, and website. Depending on your industry and role, you may also include your LinkedIn profile, physical address, or a QR code that links to your portfolio, booking page, or digital profile.

The information on a business card should be clear, minimal, and easy to read at a glance. Overcrowding a card with too much detail reduces its visual impact and makes it harder for the recipient to identify the most important contact point. A well-edited card with only the essentials often makes a stronger impression than one packed with every possible detail.

For professionals in client-facing roles like sales, real estate, hospitality, and consultancy, the phone number and email are the two most critical elements since they are the primary ways a prospect will follow up. For creative professionals and agencies, a website or portfolio link carries equal weight.
