Business cards have been an indispensable business tool for literally centuries. Back in the 15th century, the Chinese first used what they referred to as “calling cards”, the first version of the modern day business card. Also, European merchants saw the use for 'business cards' way back then too and used a version consisting of a miniature trade cards to advertise their business.

You may be thinking, of that was hundreds of years ago, what use are business cards to my business today in 2020? Well the truth is, business cards are still very important. Even today, in our digital world, where people may think that since we are in the age of the internet a business card is no longer an asset or necessity for their business... business cards still play a vital role in passing professional information and is a key to sparking and establishing lasting business relationships.

A business card is an essential part of an introduction to your customer and plays a very important role. Business cards are important for making a mark, introducing you, your business and in making a favorable first impression to your consumers.

Our business card design professionals are committed to ensuring they create a kickass business card design that you will be proud of and that effectively represents you and your business to the world.

The creative process of designing your business card works like this:

1. First, we will set you up with our business card design team who will discuss the project in-depth with you so we can best understand you, your company, and the look and feel you are looking to capture within your business card design.

2. We will then start putting together a design plan for your business card, covering everything from copy, colour, style, imagery, desired look and feel, etc. so we can create the very best business card designs for you that capture exactly what you are looking for.

3. Next, our business card design team gets to work on creating your business card design comps (initial design concepts) for you to review. These design comps will be delivered to you online through our 'TeamWork' platform in PDF format and will include a minimum of 3 unique business card designs for you to review.

4. Once you have taken your time to review the business card design comps, our lead designer will sit down with you via phone and/or email to discuss which comp(s) you like and work with you on the next step in the process. If we hit it out of the park on the first set of comps and you would like to finalize a selection as is, that is fantastic! If so, we will next work on finalizing your selection with you.

5. If you would like any revisions to tweak or change the design or layout, that is totally fine also of course! Rome wasn't built in a day and we understand that... Little Dragon Media is committed to ensuring we get your design just right! This is proven by our company policy of offering up to 3 rounds of revisions to ensure we get the design dialed in perfectly and deliver to you a perfect business card design that fits you and your company.

6. Once we refine your selected business card design and get everything perfect, we will submit the design to you for final approval. Once approved, we will finalize the design and deliver your new kickass business card to you in a variety of print formats, so you can print your new business card for the world to see!

We believe that simplicity is always the most effective route when it comes to your business card design. For the most effective and visually pleasing business card, from our experience we feel that the contact information on your card should be kept to the essentials. Having said that, it is perfectly fine to add a tagline or short sentence about your business and the services and/or products you offer.

If you have any questions, concerns, or content that you would really like to have added, please feel free to talk to one of our business card design professionals and they can work with you to find an optimal solution to incorporate any information on your business card in a manner that can be most effective and fits the overall look and feel of your business card design.

Unfortunately, we do not offer printing services here at Little Dragon Media. However, we do work with some great print-houses here in Toronto and would be happy to suggest some for you that do an excellent job and who charge a reasonable fee.

Additionally, if you live outside of the city and need help in selecting a print-shop around you, we will go that extra mile and will gladly help with sending you some great suggestions of quality print-shops/print-options in your area!

We feel your pain! We totally understand that there are a lot of options in this city and that you might be struggling to choose the right one to design a business card for your business. The reality is that it depends on many things, such as reputation/reviews, price, previous work examples and how comfortable you felt with them on the phone. You also want to make sure you hire a local Torontonian company and not a company that "pretends" to be here but outsources all their services offshore.

You want to be able to speak to the designers working on your business card design directly and not have to deal with communication or time zone issues. Check the agency's reviews and ratings online from its previous clients too. It never hurts to speak to a few different companies before making a decision. We at Little Dragon Media are totally transparent when it comes to our physical location, and you can find our prices, reviews and examples of our work on our website as well. Nothing is hidden! We're confident about our abilities and are one of the rare companies that have a 100% satisfaction or money back policy.
