1. Use color printing in your cards. Black and white cards are no long attractive these days. With the color printing more affordable, you can easily afford to create color business cards that will attract attention easily. You can consider using red as it is a catchy and noticeable color especially when used as accent or border.

2. Consider putting your own picture in your cards. Although this may seem uncomfortable to other people, putting your picture in your card helps people recognize you much easily. They will connect faster with you and your business and recognize you the next time they hear your name or see your card.

3. Use unconventional format. For instance, instead of printing your card horizontally, why not design it vertically. This will surely get the attention of your target customers and encourage them to check out your business.

4. Incorporate a catchy image in your cards. You can always include your favorite picture in your card. If you have your own artwork, you can also put them in your cards. Just make sure that the image does not take much of the space as this would reduce the room to print your contact details. It would also help if you will print the image in color to make your card catchy and intriguing.

5. You can create your cards in any shape. You do not have to make your cards in the standard size. If you truly want to make your cards eye-popping, why not design them in unique shapes such as a car if you are in the automotive business or a flower if you have a flower shop. Any unique shape will surely make your cards eye-catching.

6. Design edible cards. Another great way of attracting attention designing cards that can actually be eaten such as chocolate or cookie cards. But expect to spend more for this kind of cards.

7. Print your cards in other materials such as metal, wood, or plastic. Although these materials will cost you more, the result will surely be advantageous for your business. This will surely motivate people to keep your card or show it to other people.

8. If you will do business internationally, consider printing the language of your target customers on the other side of the card. This will make your foreign customers feel more comfortable with doing business with you.

Creating custom business cards is surely one great way of standing out against your competitions. If you have enough budget and a little creativity, consider creating your own eye-catching business card design today.
