Should you put your name on a business card?
One of the most important items to include on your business card is your name. People often ask, “Should I put my nickname on my business card?” The answer is yes! Adding your full name (including your nickname) to your business card is important because it gives the receiver a brief glimpse into who you are.
How should my name appear on my business card?
The business card is the place where a person's real name appears, not a nickname or clues such as quotation marks or parentheses to indicate by which name the person prefers to be called. One way to focus attention on which names people prefer is to use only the first letter of the name they don't want used.
Why is name card important?
Not only does it convey important personal contact information such as name, title, email, website, address and phone number, but oftentimes it is also the first exposure to the overall image of the business.
What is name card etiquette?
Hand the business card facing the person receiving it. Never write on the card of another person unless so directed. Business cards are exchanged at the start or end of the meeting. Don't ask for business cards in front of a group of people; do this privately.
