Business cards are
cards bearing business
information about a
company or
individual. They are shared during formal introductions as a convenience and a memory aid. A business card typically includes the giver's name,
company or business affiliation (usually with a
logo) and contact information such as
street addresses,
telephone number(s),
fax number,
e-mail addresses and
website. Before the advent of electronic communication business cards might also include
telex details. Now they may include social media addresses such as
Facebook,
LinkedIn and
Twitter. Traditionally many cards were simple black text on white stock; today a professional business card will sometimes include one or more aspects of striking visual design.
