No need to explain what a business card is, that is for sure. However, as a blogger, you have probably asked yourself the question: why would I need a card?

We’ll give you 3 simple reasons:

1-  Events such as the Made in Blog Campus – a bloggers conference – or any other bloggers events are popping up everywhere. You then have the opportunity to meet, discover and create links with other bloggers and influencers but also with the partner brands. It is the perfect time to make a good first impression and make them remembering of you. Who knows, this may be the first exchange in a long line of collaborations or the beginning of a friendship ☺

2 – It is also a great way for you to remember the people you met. Indeed, when you give your business card, it is often an exchange. So after a long day of networking trying to remember the face and name of each person, this turn out to be an excellent way to keep in touch with all the bloggers and sponsors that were there.

3 – It does not cost so much, so why do without? This makes you look more professional, which will give you more confidence when the time comes to go approach new people.

So now that we know this… what do we put on our business card? Nothing complicated but here are the most frequently encountered information:

 1- The name and / or logo of your blog on the front.

 2- Personal info on the back. These include:

• The first name and the last name, the URL of your blog and most importantly your email address. You can also add your phone number but we do not recommend it. Your card can be lost. If there is your email address, there is no problem. At worst, unwanted emails will directly go to spam. Unwanted phone calls are slightly more annoying.
• The address of your Facebook page as well as the username you use for your other social media accounts. Plus, here is a little trick: if your Facebook link takes too much space, you can shorten it by replacing Facebook by Fb in your web address. Also don’t forget to reserve a name for your page. A name that is easy to type and remember. For example: fb.com/madeinblog.ca 🙂

The important thing is to have a card that is original but not too much, whether it is by its lamination (glossy, matte, spot varnish, etc.), font, color or shape, all of these keeping your own personality.
