  Business card feedback Here you can see the responses created towards my business card. I have created this quick survey on Google forms by copying my business card image from my files and inserting it into the Google form so that the responders know clearly what to share their answers on, I then typed up my questions and shared the digital questionnaire via hyperlink which I sent to teams. I have created this form to study my audiences view point and analyze where I have made progress from my drafts and where I could improve to make the business card as efficient as possible, clear and appealing to the audience and client. The responses are very useful as they identify where I need more work on the business card, e.g. changing the slogan font so its more clear and readable, change the text colour to avoid colour clash and make it clear.    

 Business card research The business card represents your personal or company brand. Not only does it showcase important personal contact information like name, title, email, website, address and phone number, but oftentimes it is also the first exposure to the overall image of the business. The company logo is prominently displayed for brand identity. The fonts used, color, texture and paper stock used also to display a message about the type of industry you represent. Specialized printing techniques can be used such as embossing, foil stamping, thermography or laminating to produce business cards. The business card advertise the personality of the company/business and gives the first impression.  Having a business card on you gives the appearance of professionalism and shows proper planning. Being caught off-guard without a business card implies an poor-prepared impression.  information source:  https://www.furiarubel.com/news-resources/importance-carrying-business...
