Business cards: Proper formatting?

Scam · 9 Nov 2006 at 17:56

Just a quicky. How do you all format your details on your business cards?

For a mobile number, do you have; +44 (0)xxxx xxxxxx or simply 0xxxx xxxxxxx or even +447xxx xxxxxx? i.e. do you bother with the plus 44?

And for email addresses, is it standard to have your name capitalised (Rob@xxxxx) or is ok not to? (We all know it looks better without!).

Just wondering what the 'done' thing is and if it really matters at all

Doesn't actually matter really.
I'd say, Tel: +44 (0) 999 999, and Email: [email protected]. Is most common.

I work at a Printers btw, so seen millions of them

Well on mine, the telephone, mobile and fax numbers are all +44(0)XXXX XXX XXX as I deal with overseas numpties.

As for email, all lower case.

It really doesnt matter at all imo, as long as it looks good.

The number of strange and wierd business card's ive been given by people is mad. I've even seen plastic cards with embossed details + braille!!!

If you are thinking you might be giving them to people internationally then maybe +44 is a good idea but personally if someon is too dumb to workout the right country code then maybe you dont wanna do business with them!
