Voiceover Business Cards allow you to get really creative with your brand. Sure, business cards sound a bit corporate and outdated in the world of instant communication and emails. But they do however serve a fundamental purpose. People love having something tangible in their hands – and if they don’t, well the bin loves it instead. So in this article, we will look at some of the best practices when it comes to business cards as well as what should go on them.
Voiceover Business Cards Best Practices
The excitement of having ordered 1,000 business cards in bulk is real and now you are eager for everyone you want to work with to take one and book you for work right away. Sounds good right? Well, we might need to take a step back for a second. First of all, what you really want is the business card of the potential client. You do not benefit all that much from giving them your card as it puts the ball in their court to contact you. Ideally, you want them to offer to give you their card so you can follow up with them putting the ball in your court.
So what is the purpose of your card? Well if you really do hit it off with someone there is really no harm in giving them your card. Further, if they do offer you their card, give them yours in return so you both have each other card. The exchange is nice, friendly, and formal. It’s like giving each other a small gift.

Start with a link to your website so the receiver of the card can check you out. Don’t have a website? We can help! You can get in touch with us for free and we can point you in the right direction. Next up on the list should be your email address – you need them to be able to contact you right? Often, your company name and phone number would be on the card too – though not mandatory it is great to give them other contact options. However, you really do not need your address on the business card. The thing is, this tiny piece of card can only contain so much information before it starts to look awful.
Voiceover Branding Consistency
The most important thing about branding is that it represents you and it is consistent. We can certainly help you with design elements as well as scoping out your likes and dislikes. It can be a bit of an adventure and requires exploring but the important thing is that you love it at the end of the process. If you typically read medical narration it maybe not be the best idea to have an animation-styled website along with branding accompaniments like business cards. That said if that’s a field you want to venture into then it’s worth exploring it a bit to some degree. For your business cards, it is great to think about something cool, niche, and unusual – after all you have the opportunity to leave a lasting impression on that potential new client.
